Ukraine is receiving another batch of TRML-4D ground-based air-defence radars from Hensoldt to strengthen the country’s air defence.
In total, six additional radars will be delivered later in 2024 to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) as part of a deal worth a EUR100 million (USD107.1 million), the company announced on 3 May.
This order follows several deliveries of Hensoldt’s TRML-4D radar to the AFU. In 2022 the company delivered four TRML-4D radars for Ukraine’s Diehl Defence IRIS-T surface-launched medium-range (SLM) air-defence systems, and a further four for the air-defence system in June 2023. Over the course of 2023 Ukraine also received eight standalone TRML-4D radars, independent of the IRIS-T SLM system.
The six new radars destined for the AFU this year are not intended for the IRIS-T SLM, a Hensoldt spokesperson informed
