German media: "New armored vehicles of the Bundeswehr are too old" to intimidate Russia

54
The new German infantry fighting vehicles are “too old” and are not suitable for participation in a military operation against an “attacking enemy who uses the most modern types of weapons,” said journalist Sabine Ziebold in an article for the German TV channel N-TV.





Soon, new Puma armored vehicles should be involved in the "modern NATO rapid-reaction forces," Siebold writes.

However, Puma, it seems, has rather become a new difficult child: weapons are already outdated, additional equipment is expensive, and time to combat use just enough.
quoted by the author InoTV.

According to the journalist, about € N 500 million are required, so that the armored vehicles necessary for the 40 миссии mission ’are ready for it.

She notes that currently "the Bundeswehr has already received 190 from 350 Puma armored vehicles, ordered from Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetal." But they arrived in the basic configuration and are not suitable for participation in a military operation against the "attacking enemy, which uses the most modern types of weapons."

We put what we agreed in the contract,
A spokesman for Krauss-Maffei Wegmann said.

"German Tanks are needed to intimidate Russia, and the last word - whether additional equipment of 40 Puma armored vehicles will be carried out - remains with the German Ministry of Defense, ”writes Siebold.

In conclusion, she stressed that “according to the information of knowledgeable persons, the ministry has still not decided whether to approve or not the allocation of the necessary 500 million euros for this”.

          at the same time. Gypsies have only missile defense. But the nonsense - nuclear weapons American. Therefore, it is necessary to hit Europe simultaneously. Just different types of weapons. On missile defense and an iskander with a normal charge is enough. But nemchura will get nuclear weapons in his jug.

          It would be interesting to know which country according to the plans of the General Staff how many launches are planned by a nuclear bomb

                    Mobilization opportunities of the state (almost any) up to 20% of the population. So consider it. Of course, these are not partisans, but called up from the reserve and mobilized. There is no need to worry about draft dodgers. Ceremonies are not supposed to be held with deserters during a special period. An expedited and simplified legal procedure will help everyone to show patriotism in the army. And there, in general, everything is simple ... Well, and besides, when the first information about losses passes through the population, most of our fellow citizens will wake up with something "shaggy and uncontrolled." I would like to recall that until the mid-30s, cosmopolitan views were very strong in the USSR, but in 1941 the vast majority of the population experienced pronounced patriotic feelings.

                  Forget the myth of Bulgarian little brothers. They were little brothers after Shipka, when Russian soldiers freed them from the Ottoman yoke. It so happened that after three years the Bulgarians firmly sided with the enemies of Russia, which continues to this day. Do not forget that now Bulgaria is a full-fledged member of NATO and a participant in all anti-Russian companies (actions, sanctions, "plans to counter Russian aggression", etc.)

    As they got it already by imposing this thought - Russia is about to attack Europe. Are people preparing to explain the preemptive strike? What would all be in complete confidence they say we do not attack - they attack? And no one pays any attention to these moments in the West, this is already in the order of things. Propaganda is a great thing, you can drive almost any idea into people's heads if there is an information resource and enough time. It always surprised me, are there really so few sane people in the mass?

    Typically, such articles in the media are used to justify an increase in the military budget and the cost of new equipment. This is no more than one of the tools for lobbying the interests of the military-industrial complex.

    First, the wave “AAAAA!” Rises at different levels! Our equipment is out of date, missiles do not fly, and the Russian is on the threshold! Everything is gone, chief, and right after that a “rescue plan” is presented. What actually is written in the article

    According to the journalist, about € N 500 million are required, so that the armored vehicles necessary for the 40 миссии mission ’are ready for it.

    “German tanks are needed to intimidate Russia, and the last word is whether the 40 will be additionally equipped with Puma armored vehicles - remains with the German Defense Ministry,” Siebold writes.


    So this is nothing more than lobbying for purchases in the amount of 500 lemons. In the meantime, while in Germany they say that the Puma is outdated, the main BMP of the RF Armed Forces is BMP-2 ...
