In the area of ​​the contact line, a Swiss-made Eagle I armored car with the symbols of the Armed Forces of Ukraine applied to it

Switzerland intends to conduct an investigation into the entry of a Swiss-made Eagle I armored car into Ukraine. According to the publication Neue Zurcher Zeitung, this armored vehicle was seen near the front line in the Donbass.

The Swiss-made Eagle I armored car with the symbols of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the form of a white cross applied to it was seen near the city of Chasov Yar near Artemovsk (Bakhmut). Also, this armored car, and possibly the second of this brand, hit the photographer's lens in the Avdiivka area. At the moment, no one can say whether this car is the only one, or whether there are several of them in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.



Switzerland intends to conduct its own investigation and find out how a Swiss-made armored car or armored cars could get to Ukraine when, due to its neutrality, Switzerland refuses to supply equipment and weapons to the warring parties. In general, Bern did not give permission for the supply of such armored cars to Kyiv. Nevertheless, one such armored car rides on the line of contact in the Donbass.

MOWAG Eagle is a Swiss 4x4 armored vehicle. In Ukraine, an armored car of the first generation Eagle I based on the American armored car HMMWV was spotted. This version entered service with the Swiss army, was transferred to the UN for peacekeeping missions, and was also purchased by Denmark. Until 2008, 36 such armored cars were in service with the Danish army. At the moment, no one has admitted that he transferred his equipment to the Ukrainian army, although a variant with Germany is possible, since in 2017 one of the German companies bought 27 of these armored cars from Denmark. The Swiss State Secretariat for Economics (SECO) promised to look into this situation in the near future and give a legal assessment.

        The article also talks about

        Russia also does not interfere with an investigation into how foreign equipment appears at the front. After all, at the beginning of the operation it was said that enemy equipment is a legitimate goal of the Russian Army! Now what? Have supplies of equipment become legal? Why does foreign equipment appear at the front? The Russian Army does not fulfill its obligations to destroy enemy equipment or the command of the Russian Army? After all, Russia also did not give permission for the supply of APU equipment! Or gave? So how does this technique appear on the front? Is it allowed to be delivered or not? There seems to be a ban! And the technology is there!

          So there is no war. There is SVO. If Russia declares war on Ukraine for the genocide of Russians, then all countries that supply weapons to Ukraine, according to international law, become participants in the war and become legitimate targets for the SNF of the RF Armed Forces.

      Judging by the photo, this is the Swiss Eagle I / II, while the Danes bought the Eagle IV version, they even visually differ.

        This is Eagle I and it is in the Danish configuration (the turret has been dismantled). They differed from the Swiss side windows - wide in front, narrow in the back.

    Well, yes, we also need to remind you about legitimate goals. Everything that Bandera people need is supplied. And, apparently, we simply cannot prevent this. All the rhetoric on this subject from the management is a concussion.

    In modern times, you will not be surprised by such machines. They can be made (and are being made) based on civilian pickups and jeeps.

    Switzerland is not a neutral state.

    Here the police recruit mercenaries for the war against Russia. Also, people are being pressured, including by illegal and inhuman methods, to, for example, publicly make anti-Russian statements.

    For this, torture is also used, including scientific torture with medical assistance, as in Mengele's Auschwitz. This is done in an organized manner, with the participation of special services, judges and prosecutors.

    This does not go to any comparison with the fact that somewhere in the zone drunken cops beat someone up, as in the accusations against Russia of the GulaguNet group, for example. They also stopped the extradition to Russia of those people against whom exhaustive dossiers have been collected on the most inhumane crimes and on large amounts of stolen money.

    There is also no banking secrecy and all those people who hope to hide the stolen money here under the control of the Swiss police and intelligence agencies, and therefore under the control of American intelligence agencies.

    Switzerland is a Nazi state in need of denazification. The same is true in many other countries of the golden billion - these are the realities.
