Recently, footage appeared on the network showing the defeat of two Lancet kamikaze drones of an object identified by a number of observers as a disguised German Iris-T SLM air defense system, transferred by Germany to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
However, as indicated in the publication World Defense News, in fact, a dummy of this anti-aircraft missile system allegedly acted as a target.
It is noted that the absence of a command post or soldiers near the system speaks in favor of this version. In addition, there are inconsistencies with the standard car, including the excellent shape of the cabin, the absence of rear-view mirrors, which is a common feature of trucks that house the SAM. Upon further examination of the footage, a second rectangular block behind the cab is found, which differs from the spare wheels usually located in this place.

During the precision strikes by kamikaze drones, there was no extensive smoke and flames, although the SAM is "filled" with flammable liquids such as gasoline and hydraulic oil, not to mention missiles.
- the conclusion is made in the Western press.
At the same time, the version of the Western press does not look 100% plausible, if only because there were no deliveries of IRIS-T dummies to Ukraine, and the location of the "dummy" about an hour before its defeat, missiles flew out to destroy missiles and drones of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the air.
