NASAMS vs IRIS-T SLM | Best Ukrainian Air Defense Systems.

Ukraine Military received both NASAMS and IRIS-T SLM air defense systems from western countries in order to defend against the Russian airstrikes.
Both Surface to Air missile systems provide protection against aircraft, helicopters, missiles, drones, and guided weapons.
NASAMS is a short- to medium-range air defense system developed by Raytheon Technologies and Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace of Norway. IRIS-T SLM on the other hand, is a tactical medium-range air defense system designed and produced by the German firm Diehl Defense.
So today we are going to compare these two defense systems.

IRIS T SLM 430.000$ v. Shahed-136 20.000$ 💲💲💲😔

[@ericbravo3806]

You don't use a Iris-t for a shared😂. You use for kalibr or others whith the price is 7 o 10 milions

[@kyawzin-zm8xf]

really why us selled nasams system for taiwan

[@eko100200]

Having cheap and effective rockets is definitely a point here.

[@claudium6769]

NASAMS can also fire AIM-9X which are cheaper than AMRAAM, under $400k

[@bjornlarsen7491]

The Nasams 3 system use the GhostEye MR radar with 260 km range. The Nasams system can also fire IRIS-T missils

[@herptek]

IRIS-T system itself uses different types of missiles.

[@Oeystein]

NASAM 3 can fire missiles at 72 targets simultaneously (21 kg warhead). 24 planes, 24 cruise missiles, 24 drones. What is the cost of a human life? More than all the wealth of the world, it says in the Bible. Used together with Patriot to protect effectively.

[@peterkorek-mv6rs]

A very good review. Thanks for the info

[@snapdragon6601]

No matter what NATO will get some very helpful data on real world effectiveness. That will allow them to identify anything that needs to be improved. 👍

[@noibj1]

NASAMS, the best system ever developed!!

[@ecorp9199]

NASMS system costs less, but the rockets are roughly 2x as expensive, which makes it a lot more costly in prolonged attacks. Although it has the benefit of visual guidance w/o radar, to avoid reader signature detection. The IRIS-T is a more modern system with better rockets and range, but they need the radar. So a mix of both is probably good, with a higher quota of IRIS-T SLMs and a smaller quota of NASMS for versatility

[@ChristopherCarter-q9i]

The real point of NASAMS is protracted conflicted, and no not new interceptors, but the massive backstock of old aim120A-C, old Aim9L to M. in this way it can fire what might be eventually disposed of and given the costs of such it'lll literally save money.....

[@nightraver56]

@@ChristopherCarter-q9i VERY smart play on Ukraine to demand US orgin systems like F-16 & Patriot/NASAMS, the economies of scale & old stock are just ridiculously incomparable, there is such a massive volume world-wide of compatible missiles for both that its just insane to compare. USA & EU both have political infighting, both promise alot of shit & take too much time to deliver, but EU nations simply don't have shit actually built unlike USA. When USA Congress authorizes stuff, it comes from warehouses & running factories. More ACTUAL weapons got to Ukraine from USA than EU, long term it was probably a good thing the USA political infighting to scare the lazy entitled EU NATO nations to stop blabbing & demand results from their weapons plants to build & deliver weapons now because they might not have the USA they love to bash to come save Europe. Europe is useful to USA as a boundary for adversaries - you can't attack USA without getting past the US military in NATO Europe, but an invaded Ukraine directly affects EU NATO citizens who finally got the point to deliver on their promises. EU nations weapons factories are barely back to running at 1980s capacity to build the stuff they keep promising, but thanks the the recent US election scare, the EU NATO nations citizens finally seem to have gotten the point, took them long enough but they are actually finally delivering weapons in increasing volume. Still, I absolutely agree over the short & medium term next 2 years minimum if you had to pick NASAMS or IRIS-T in Ukraine it would be NASAMS all day!!! 1000x more built missiles & spare parts for NASAMS than IRIS-T right now. Germany has been taking much too long to scale weapons production, but when they do they will be a force in a couple years.

[@alexandertribunus2758]

NASAMS-3 outperforms IRS-T SLM in all respects. It is particularly advantageous that the air defense can use the older AMRAAM missiles of the aircrafts without any modifications, and the AIM-9X can also be used for them. The NASAMS-3 systems also use AMRAAM ERs with a range of around 70km.

[@matrixavenger1901]

I prefer both

[@pbssandman9985]

With these two systems and Patriot, Ukraine can protect its electricity grid and its important points!

[@damirmasic7432]

Ima Nasams od ove godine novi radar. Rakete su skuplje ali Helikopteri neprijateljski avioni dronovi su isto skupi.

[@ashalatha5048]

Can h also compare this with Indian QR SAM developed recently

[@leotka]

IRIS-T is more modern and better system. Although both systems are pretty good.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

what do you mean by truck mounted launcher truck . . . you mean a truck is launched into the skies, that itself is mounted on another truck . . . is that what ur trying to say bcos when you say truck mounted launcher truck this is what it means . . . by the way, the IRIS-T SLM is clearly the obvious choice in this comparison . . . a long range variant of the IRIS-T SLM is needed . . . incorporating new semi-hypersonic IRIS-T2 SLM missile . . . and then that will pack some serious punch to surface-to-air combat . . .

[@alexandrugeorgecristea2171]

The 2 systems are great but a cheap drone cost 30k dollar u cane send 14 drons for 430k dollar and 1.2 milion u cane send 40 drones...the important thing is we need German Gepard with new radar and digital interface (remote control) if china will help russian to attack europe u will see 1000.000 drones attack u need a lote of Gepard systems ammo for gepard one full battery cost 5000 usd and u cane down 2 to 4 drones

[@overdrivelzma.9219]

The Problem ? IRIS-T SLM 430.000$. v SHAHED-136 20.000$ 💲🤔 😔

[@arbelico2]

Greetings . Forget a "figure" that of lives and material that avoids being destroyed and its usefulness for the war effort. Systems like the Skynex that combine laser / cannon / missiles can reduce the cost per hit.

[@surters]

That is why Gepard also has a role, and even the 4x12.7 (or whatever it was the mad-max truck had on it)

[@Ostlander11]

Well, but round's cost of the SPAAG system is $3.

[@ericbravo3806]

You don't use a iris-t for a shared this guy or this bot hahahahaha😂

[@peterkorek-mv6rs]

4x12,7mm a WW 2 antiaircraft super-weapon is again in!

[@klausberfelde-je2ye]

Guess both have a very high success rate. IRIS-T is about 98%. The only goal is to keep Ukraine sky clean... and both are very successful. If I am right in counting, Ukraine has much more 4D Radar trucks then IRIS-T SLM Systems. So, if they could combine both the may protect even more territory.

[@Ostlander11]

Better is CAMM missiles.

No, each camm needs a hot cup of tea to get started 😂

The development of the IRIS-T SLM AirDefence System was already completed in 2014, not 2022!!! 4 IRIS-T SLM have been delivered by Germany to Ukraine, 3 more are to follow!

[@michaeldewitz1940]

We only delivered 1 System (1 Radar 1 Command Vehicle and 3 Shooter Units). But 3 more to come is true. With a little bit of luck and some extra working hours at Diehl Defense, second System could be ready in December.

[@hansmeyer7225]

Nope only IRIS-T SLS was completed before 2020

[@michaeldewitz1940]

@@hansmeyer7225 In January 2014, Diehl presented the functional capability of the missile and the launch system to an international audience at the Overberg test site with live fire. The Radar System at this Demonstration was the CEAFAR from CEA Technologies. Acutual System is using the TRML 4D by Hensoldt. This Radar was ready in 2018 and first units were delivered 2020.

@@michaeldewitz1940 I read we have officially delivered 4 already. But the data are mostly not correct anyway, which are officially available, it looks like.

[@ulf5738]

The video is lacking information. Bad research mr. Some examples. NASAMS has 3 different revisions and the latest and newest radar for NASAMS III is “Ghost Eye MR”. But the sentinel radar is much more mobile than the new radar option and Iris-T radar. Also NASAMS can use the regular Iris-T short range missile that we previously used on Norwegian F-16. And also NASAMS can be used with a quad missile pack on Hummer truck and it’s therefore more mobile. NASAMS can also get target information from F-35 or other modern NATO planes. So obviously the NASAMS is a much more flexible solution than German Iris-T systems.

[@yufka3247]

Just no, the entire IRIS-T system can be used directly from the truck, unlike NASAMS which has to be placed first IRIS T can be operational within 15min, therefore the system is much more flexible, yes it can be useful to be able to shoot Sidewinders and other AA missiles but they will always be a second choice as long as you don't run out of missiles...

[@arbelico2]

Greetings . It is presumable that the IRIS-T AA defense system and the MEADS / PATRIOT use the (JTIDS) to receive information from other radars and aircraft since it is a standard NATO system.

[@arbelico2]

The real questions are how effective are the radars and missiles of each system against the different threats: drones, fighters, cruise/ballistic missiles.

[@daginn896]

​​@@yufka3247 Just no. The NASAMS can be fired directly from humvees and other platforms. It does not have to be stationed like you say. That is the older models. And unlike the Iris-t slm, Nasams can use a multitude of missiles, including Iris-t. And it has a better radar.

[@yufka3247]

@@daginn896 Ok, so you have a humvee instead of an MAN truck, that counts for the launchers, what about the command post? Also yes NASAMS can fire a wide range of missiles but they only include standard NATO air to air missiles (and especially ir guided), the iris-t version you are mentioning is the standard air to air version which is equal to the iris t sls not the slm, it is bigger and obviously more capable (in terms of range etc)
