The German government handed Ukraine a new package of material and technical military assistance. It included, in particular, the Skynex air defense system and missiles for the IRIS-T SLM air defense system.

This is stated on the government website.

Hereʼs the full list of new help:

Germany is also preparing for the transfer of the Patriot air defense system.

On April 13, Germany announced that it would transfer to Ukraine another Patriot launcher and ammunition for existing air defense systems. The German government also began looking for additional air defense systems for Ukraine from its allies. The authorities of Ukraine have been calling on allies for several weeks in a row to help with air defense systems and ammunition for them. There was a shortage in the military, which allowed Russian missile and drone attacks to penetrate the defenses, hitting energy facilities such as the Trypil TPP.
