No he wrote launchers or batteries. He meant if they were all complete systems with both launchers and radar/command module, which they are.
It has nothing to do with missiles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRIS-T

One IRIS-T SLM battery, as supplied by Germany to Ukraine, consists of three truck-mounted launchers, carrying eight missiles each (with a range of 40 kilometres or 25 miles), and a separate command vehicle

So 3 launchers capable of firing 8 missiles each, and 1 command module per system.
The command module can track all 24 missiles simultaneously.

So this is a pretty big deal.

I had to check, did they mean launchers or batteries.

Are you that daft?

It was a joke about how stupid it would be to only be launchers.

OP wasn't sure and had to verify for us.

I think it's more your joke that was daft, nobody said anything about it ONLY being launchers, and nobody found you joke funny.
Also you make a post where you still don't get it, even after I explained the setup to you above.
