The Air Command West has published information from the commander of an IRIS-T SLM air defence position — likely of the 11th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment.

He claims to have destroyed 45 targets with 44 missiles in six months. The debris from an exploding Russian missile is said to have destroyed another Russian missile. He also confirms prior reports that one only needs a single missile to intercept the Russian target.

Thanks to the hits marked on the TOC in front of which he was photographed, we can see from the visible part of the photo that this fire unit was not yet being used to shoot down reconnaissance drones or loitering munitions (at the time the photo was taken) and even how many targets the fire unit intercepted per mission.
