        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.
