As I confirmed this morning to President Zelensky, we are fully mobilised to increase our military support for Ukraine, particularly with regard to its anti-air defences.

Russian proxy Vladimir Saldo is evacuating 70,000 people from the left bank of the Dneiper River to deeper in Kherson and Russia

Saldo's stated rationale is concerning, as he warns of flooding of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric plant. The risk of Russia detonating this dam is high

The IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system provided by Germany earlier this month has been 100% effective against air targets today — Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ignat.

This is a rather eloquent answer to the question why Ukraine needs modern air defence systems.

Yeah, Klitschko posted that it shot down 16 missiles on Monday I think. I hope with the other IRIS-T systems still to be provided in addition to what USA, France and some others will send, this terror deep into Ukraine will at least stop to some degree the next months. Too bad IRIS-T doesn't reach that far but seems awesome to defend at least a specific area of like 50km or something like that.

We don't even have that system in our own troops yet, lol
