Head of Rheinmetall Armin Papperger: Germany transferred two anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine, leaving Berlin unprotected

Germany sacrificed the security of Berlin by handing over to Ukraine two anti-aircraft systems covering the German capital. This was stated by the head of the German concern Rheinmetall AG Armin Papperger.

The German capital was supposed to be covered by Skynex and Skyranger anti-aircraft systems, but they were sent to Ukraine. This decision was made by the German government, leaving Berlin without protection. Moreover, both systems are the development of the concern and are produced by it. According to Papperger, the city is currently not safe.



We had two whole systems with which Berlin could certainly be defended, but these systems are currently in Ukraine

- he said, adding that today the Bundeswehr is not able to defend Germany on its own and without the help of the United States, since the German army lacks "everything" and "everywhere."

Speaking of German tanks Leopard, which are promised to Kyiv, the head of Rheinmetall stressed that the supplied quantity is not enough to "recapture the occupied territories."

Last year, Germany delivered the IRIS-T SLM medium-range anti-aircraft system to Ukraine. In December 2022, it became known that the Rheinmetall concern received an order for the manufacture of two Skynex anti-aircraft systems for an unnamed country. In Kyiv, they said that these systems will strengthen the air defense of Ukraine and they should arrive within 2023.

The new Skynex anti-aircraft gun is a 3-mm Oerlikon Mk35 revolver-type anti-aircraft gun mounted on a truck chassis. The developers are positioning the installation as a universal short-range anti-aircraft system capable of fighting both aircraft and missiles.

        They won't protect. And even more will go into debt, undermine for a long time and with a guarantee any relations with the Russian Federation, they will remain completely without an army; such people are easier to control.

      To be honest, what are the same Berliners worried about? Nobody threatens them. In the event of a world mess, these systems will not help

        That's it:
        But what are the same Berliners worried about? Nobody threatens them.

        The news is presented as good, even victorious! Although in fact these systems are quite serious and it is easy to guess who they will add problems to. They can turn though...

          Yes, and this threatens us, our pilots. Well, they’ll shoot down a drone there, but air defense is operating there.

      And this only says that they have no one to defend themselves from, and Russia is not going to attack them.
      If only the terrorists would now become more active there, so that they would need these weapons themselves

      Germany did not sacrifice anything. And Papperger said nothing of the sort. Verbatim.
      The Skynex system and the latest Skyranger development went to Ukraine, although four such installations would be enough to completely close the sky over Berlin

      Translate
      Ukraine has received the Skynex system and the latest development of Skyranger, although four such installations would be enoughto completely cover the skies over Berlin.

      The head of the concern did not tell how four ZSUs with a caliber of 35 mm could cover the sky over a city of 900 square kilometers. Obviously this is classified information. Or, most likely, the head of the concern took advantage of the moment to once again advertise his products.

      What scary ex partners?
      Or are you so sure that Russia will not attack you?
      Why then are you bullying yourself?
      From dope, or are there any other options?
      Maybe you hope it doesn't fly?
      Or do you think it won't help?
