Germany trains Ukrainians on advanced air defense weapon under the radar

In a remote German wood away from prying eyes, around 40 Ukrainians are taking a crash course on one of the West's most advanced air defense systems, already confident it will enable them to better ward off Russian strikes once they return home.

Boasting a range of some 40 kilometers (25 miles) and a 360 degree view, the IRIS-T SLM system is one of the most coveted of the weapons that Berlin has supplied to Kyiv.
