Germany has reportedly been quietly marketing its IRIS-T air defense system to Pakistan, a move that carries significant strategic implications, particularly in the context of South Asian geopolitics.

Germany has already delivered another IRIS-T air defense system to Ukraine, according to sources cited by German news outlet Spiegel. The latest delivery increases four medium-range and one short-range IRIS-T systems. The same system is being offered to Pakistan.
These German-made systems, which are relatively new, have proven highly effective in protecting major cities and critical infrastructure from air attacks.
