British transport planes with weapons for Ukraine had to fly around German airspace

61

Materials have appeared in the German and British press saying that Germany has decided to close its airspace to aircraft that supply weapons and military equipment to Ukraine. The materials indicate that the airspace was allegedly closed to military transport aviation Britain and Canada. At the same time, the United Kingdom recently decided to supply anti-tank systems for the needs of the armed forces of Ukraine.

News about the closure of German airspace for aircraft with weapons for Ukraine began to be actively discussed both in the Western world and in Ukraine itself.



In particular, it is noted that British aircraft with weapons for Ukraine, on board, it was necessary to make a fair “detour” in order to reach Kiev airport. The materials of the British press say that aircraft from the UK were forced to fly to Ukraine through Danish airspace, flying around the airspace of Germany from the north. Thus, the duration of the flight exceeded the planned parameters, which were usually fixed during the flights of the Royal Air Force aircraft to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, German journalists turned to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense with a request to comment on the situation. The British department said that they "did not themselves submit a request to fly in German airspace." Allegedly, it was planned to fly through Denmark.

However, this explanation did not satisfy the journalists, who asked why London decided to send its transport aircraft over a longer air route? At this, the communication of the official representative of the British Ministry of Defense with the reporters stopped. The department of Ben Wallace did not answer this question.

This gives reason to say that Britain and Germany are in a state of dispute over the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Recall that the German government did not consider it necessary to provide Kiev with military-technical assistance, noting that both Ukraine and Russia are friendly countries for Germany. In Germany, they say that they are in favor of a political and diplomatic resolution of the conflict situation.

            Wonderful miracles happen! Under the frantic cries of Americans about Russian aggression, the United States itself, as well as Lithuania, Latvia, Britain, saturate Ukraine with weapons, Canadian special forces arrive in Ukraine, the untouchable hero Poroshenko returns and a movement begins in Ukraine that can easily turn into a mess. The prospects for all this are well outlined in the article "Unrest in Ukraine as an excuse for NATO intervention." How could Russia not miss once again and finally Ukraine with the prospect of rocket launchers near Kharkov! what

      Isn't it time for the Kremlin to actively support those movements in NATO countries where the population is actively fighting for their independence? Why not help the Scots and Irish with weapons and instructors in their holy struggle to overthrow the English monarchy and establish a presidential form of government in these countries???

    The current Ukraine is not worth getting involved in a conflict with Russia. In fact, the Germans correctly figured out that it is better to have mutually beneficial relations with the Russian Federation than to remain with a bare spot with Kiev.

    Experts suggest that NLAW portable missiles were handed over to Ukraine.
    Attacks NLAW tank armor from the upper hemisphere, flying a meter above it. And this is what distinguishes NLAW from Javelin, which makes a slide on the way to the target: a remote detonation occurs and the impact core hits the roof of the tank. The Swedish army tested this weapon, it is able to penetrate the armor of the T-72 tank from 500 meters, and 600 meters is the most effective distance.

      And what about the distance? A warhead is a shaped charge, for it the distance of a rocket flight does not play any role. Maybe the effective range of the anti-tank systems was meant?

      The NLAW differs from the Javelin in that they are only similar in appearance. Each of them has its own advantages. But a mistake was hurt in the commentary: NLAW can undermine its charge not only from above, but also in the "forehead".

    Meanwhile, the net outflow of capital from Russia in 2021 amounted to $72 billion, which is $22 billion more than in 2020. About 750 billion rubles “evaporated” from the NWF after the transfer of the Russian army to the Donbass - this is caused by the strongest collapse since the spring of 2020 Russian stock market. As a result of exchange sales against the background of reports about the transfer of the Russian army to the border with Ukraine, the cost of a controlling stake in the country's largest state-owned bank shrank from 3,568 to 3,312 trillion rubles. The Ministry of Finance lost another 1 billion rubles on the securities of Aeroflot, which were bought as part of the operation to save the national carrier from the pandemic crisis.
    Thus, only in December, the National Welfare Fund suffered a loss of 257 billion rubles due to the fall of the Russian market, and in January these losses increased along with the collapse of stock indices to their minimums for almost a year.

    The cumulative total for December and 18 days of January, the National Welfare Fund lost 746 billion rubles on investments in state-owned companies that are rapidly falling in price.

    But what's really interesting is why British planes didn't use German airspace.

    And where is the supposed 'cheers'?

    Perhaps they could fly through Germany, but there was a possibility that the tolerant ones would land the planes. And this was apparently unacceptable. Germany is the weak link of the Anglo-Saxons in the European Union.
