            OP wasn’t sure if they were sending the missles until they read the article.

            I made a what I thought was funny comment about how they were only going to send the launchers, and fuck the missles.

            Edit: also in format of NO SOUP FOR YOU, but I should have left the “though” off for that.

              No he wrote launchers or batteries. He meant if they were all complete systems with both launchers and radar/command module, which they are.
              It has nothing to do with missiles.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRIS-T

              One IRIS-T SLM battery, as supplied by Germany to Ukraine, consists of three truck-mounted launchers, carrying eight missiles each (with a range of 40 kilometres or 25 miles), and a separate command vehicle

              So 3 launchers capable of firing 8 missiles each, and 1 command module per system.
              The command module can track all 24 missiles simultaneously.

              So this is a pretty big deal.

                I had to check, did they mean launchers or batteries.

                Are you that daft?

                It was a joke about how stupid it would be to only be launchers.

                OP wasn’t sure and had to verify for us.

                  I think it’s more your joke that was daft, nobody said anything about it ONLY being launchers, and nobody found you joke funny.
                  Also you make a post where you still don’t get it, even after I explained the setup to you above.

        No its 17 launchers and each launcher has 8 launchers, so 136 launchers.

        Useless without missles though. So many launchers!

          It’s 17 Batteries, each having 3 launchers capable of shooting 8 missiles each, that’s a total capability of launching 408 missiles at once. I already explained this 2 you in another post, where you had the audacity to call me daft?!
