A piece of info that completely missed my attention, but will certainly be still of interest to some. Three weeks ago, Estonia's Defence Minister announced in an interview with BILD that Germany — with Estonian permission — had redirected an IRIS-T SLM fire unit intended for Estonia to Ukraine.

Thanks to donated fire fighting vehicles from the German city of Kirchheim unter Teck and the German association “Ermstal hilft”, a new volunteer fire brigade was very recently opened in the Ukrainian village of Vynohradivka in the Odesa region.

It's that time again. Another year has passed, and my project “GAU” turns three tonight. Three years, in which I spent almost every single day researching and reporting on Germany's assistance to Ukraine to help in its fight against the Russian aggression.

2) Also very visible after the strike is a tow hook at the very front, which is used to tow the decoy into place (hence the truck shown at 00:20).
PS: Even if it would be a real launcher, it's not worth $50 million like claimed by the Russian propaganda machine.

The Russian military managed to destroy another decoy of an IRIS-T SLM launcher somewhere “deep behind enemy lines” in #Ukraine. There are various indicators proving that this is only a decoy. Just to mention two (see below):
