Manufacturers of complex air-defense batteries such as Diehl Defense have now received purchase guarantees from Germany's government. Updated at the beginning of January, the German Defense Ministry's list of commissioned and delivered armaments states that Ukraine is now set to receive urgently needed Iris-T SLM anti-aircraft batteries.

Based in southwestern Germany, a region known for its highly specialized mechanical engineering companies and metal industry, Diehl is rapidly expanding. In December, the company was able to buy up an entire additional factory and a company that manufactures precision parts.
