These articles make it clear Ukraine did not receive the radar with the IRIS-t they originally received. They have it now. The radar appears to be a good unit, although it is obviously brand new and untried. In many cases the Germans may have to tell the Ukrainians "It's not a bug, it is a feature". It is in the same class as the GhostEye for NASAMS. Whatever use they got out of their IRIS-t to this point had to be by firing the missiles in "sic em" mode. With the drones, if you can visually see them, that can work.
