Brazil's President Rejects Germany's Request for Leopard Tank Ammunition

The information that the German Ministry of Defense submitted a request to the Brazilian authorities, in which a request was voiced for the supply of so-called NATO-style ammunition, is confirmed. Germany was primarily interested tank NATO caliber ammunition.

Now it has become known about the answer that official Berlin received from Brazilian President Lula da Silva.

Lula da Silva, who took office on January 1, 2023, announced that Brazil would not supply ammunition to Germany.

The statement of the presidential secretariat is quoted by the Brazilian press:

Germany offered Brazil to purchase a batch of ammunition for Leopard tanks. The President of Brazil refused.

It is noted that Lula da Silva rejected the request of Germany, as he believes that ammunition for German tanks could end up in Ukraine.

The Brazilian authorities once again emphasize that they stand for the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but at the same time they are not going to take sides in an armed conflict, let alone arm one of the parties. Earlier, Lula da Silva said that it was the NATO bloc that provoked Russia into action in Ukraine with its ill-considered expansion to the East.

The RH120 cannon is the same on the M1A2 Abrams and on the Leopard 2, so if the United States fusses, there is unlikely to be a shortage of ammunition for the tanks that they are going to supply.

The point is to cover up the maximum number of countries in this story. Like, if against the United States once in a while, then Putin is much bolder than if it is necessary to give every second country on the planet the right person. The Americans, even in order to invade Granada from each island, at least by company, at least by squad, recruited.

Most likely it will be. Now it remains to understand what "side" Brazil is here ... In its army, the Leopard-1A5 tank with a 105-mm tank gun is in service, and if it is asked to "share" shells, then, accordingly, these are 105-mm tank artillery rounds.
It turns out that tanks with such a weapon are being prepared for delivery to Ukraine. And here you don’t have to guess for a long time, the Rheinmetall company stated that it still has 80 Leopard-1A5 tanks in its “reserve”

Brazil is armed with the old Leopard 1, there the English L7A1 or L7A3 105 mm, was on the early Abrams. But in principle, the gun is common in the world.

But they were not in service with the Bundeswehr, but it is Germany that asks for shells

It can be seen that not everything is as good in the NATO kingdom as they are trying to show us. Let it be even worse for them, we do not mind ...

[Sith]

Agree at whose expense there will be a banquet and produce in the proper quantity ... they will not be able to quickly ...
Conclusion ... they will be in a hurry to scrape and revenge

Germany offered Brazil to purchase a batch of ammunition for Leopard tanks. The President of Brazil refused.

In general, according to the rules of the Russian language, this phrase means that Germany offered Brazil to buy a batch of ammunition from her (Germany). It’s not entirely clear to me personally who wants to buy this ammunition from whom?

. Unfortunately, there are not so many brave, independently thinking leaders of countries... at least those who are not afraid to express it publicly.
Anyway, the world will change, but our country, OUR PEOPLE, will again have to go ahead of everyone and make no small sacrifices along the way!!!
This is our way, destiny...

Greetings Victor! some refused, others evaded .... today it is worth a lot. If only the staff would not be able to bend the "evaders"

[rocket757]

Hi Dmitry
It is not so easy to resist the minke whales, the united "west".
We need POWER ... the strength of the spirit of the masses, a strong leader whom these people support, we need allies who are ready to go side by side, support, build their own, independent economic zone ...
In general, the time is to move forward.

Yes, Victor, this process is underway. More and more countries are realizing this. Somehow the comments began to read and respond, out of order.

Brazil and Argentina will create a common currency and call it sur (from the Spanish sur, south). The goals are to reduce the role of the dollar in regional settlements and stimulate trade between the countries of South America. So it is not surprising that the President of Brazil went against the West. Latin America began its journey on the dollar.

[rocket757]

Not the first attempt to get rid of the dictation of the brazen Saxons whom dominance.
We wish them good luck on this path.

Of course, BRICS is not a military alliance, but NOW the USA and NATO are busy with Ukraine, and it is strange that they would jump on someone else at the most inopportune time ...

It's good that they already exist.

And it should be noted that BRICS is not an empty shell, and common interests work.

[rocket757]

Everything is not so simple with BRICS... or, as it seems from the outside, everything is very slow, cautious.
In general, the big uncles are playing their game and how it goes on ... we'll see.

Greetings Victor ! Yes! Not so easy! And at first, when BRICS was organized in 2014, they said that it was not a viable structure. Time and events have shown that the opposite is true! Viable and with the entry of Arabs and Persians (that is, both Sunnis and Shiites, which is noteworthy!) ------- will intensify

And why didn’t Scholz ask Poland, she’s nearby?!

In politics, as in a bazaar, you need to be able to bargain, otherwise you can get to the fenced sh..khi (outskirts). Brazil feels the breath of the resurrecting dragon (China), everyone understands that now America, with the help of forelocks, wants to remove China's support in the form of Russia. And the one who helps keep the support, contributes to the ascent of China to Olympus, in the Western world, Brazil will in any case be in the waiting room, and in the Chinese they hope to take a better place.

[al3x]

China's prop, "Russia", why only Russia in your comment starts with a lowercase letter, all other countries, proper names, as expected, with a capital letter? Even the mountain of the gods of ancient Greek mythology, Olympus, you write with a capital letter. Too thick, prop+lower case. Your first name is lowercase, as is your last name, Mr. backup.

[opuonmed]

tomorrow I will go to war people good luck to you and me too I am a specialist in development! soon they themselves will fall and the helicopters will fall there in their rear \!

China has cut off Germany's supply of cotton (a specific variety for the production of gunpowder) now running around the world like beggars.

[Luka Nord]

because he believes that ammunition for German tanks may end up in Ukraine.

well done man, understood everything and answered briefly!
And these devils are already forcibly collecting weapons from all over the world ..
And the Anglo-Saxons are hoarding and understand what threatens them
Russia already knows clearly where the center of all our Russian troubles is and who is setting the Germans against us again, etc. Creatures!
