The German defense minister said that Germany handed over to Ukraine “even more Leopard 2A6 tanks than originally thought”

Germany handed over to Ukraine 18 tanks Leopard 2A6, four more than previously agreed. This was announced by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

In a comment to the German press, Pistorius added that along with military equipment, the necessary ammunition and spare parts were delivered to Ukraine.



German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also confirmed the shipment of 18 German Leopard 2A6 tanks to Ukraine. In addition to tanks, the Ukrainian army received 40 units of the German Marder infantry fighting vehicles. In addition, the German authorities intend to supply Ukraine with a number of Leopard 1 tanks in service with the Bundeswehr.

Leopard 2 is the main battle tank of the German army. This combat vehicle is equipped with radiation, chemical and biological protection systems, as well as an automatic fire extinguishing system. The armament of this tank is represented by a 120 mm Rheinmetall RH-M-120 smoothbore gun and an arsenal of 42 ammunition for the main gun. The combat vehicle is also equipped with additional weapons, represented by two machine guns, one of which is paired with the main gun, and the second is anti-aircraft and is mounted on the top of the tank roof.

The decision to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to the Kiev regime, as well as permission for other countries to re-export their German-made military equipment, was made by the German authorities in January of this year after pressure exerted on Berlin by allies in the NATO military bloc.

      These tanks are unlikely to go further than Kyiv and the Kyiv region. Pure PR. Although, anything is possible.

        "Liver sausage" by Olaf Scholz is becoming more and more like a spoiled liver sausage thrown into the vent of an antediluvian public rural latrine with holes in the floor at some railway station!

      He is now proud of the transferred tanks ...

      The time will come - and he will tell that EVERYONE around was for the transfer of tanks, and most of all - the Scholz dog.
      And only he alone, left alone, at night, under the covers, turning to the wall, kept repeating to himself that it was impossible to give tanks to Ukraine, it was impossible to fight with Russia...

    Reconnaissance and precision strikes are now of decisive importance, especially against Western "help". And tanks should not be underestimated. We do not know what kind of active protection they were equipped with.

    2A6 is a serious machine. Approximately the level of T-90M. Unlike 2A4, which are produced during the Gorbachev era. There is information that it is 2A6 that will be secretly delivered much more than officially promised. Wanguy that three of them will assemble a battalion as the main striking force in a rush to the Sea of ​​​​Azov. This is not counting hundreds of T-64s, T-72s, PT-91s and Leopard-1s.

    Previously, four times Hero of the Soviet Union, he and a holder of eight Orders of Lenin, "comrade of all the oppressed" Leonid Ilich Brezhnev begged for state awards and cars from the West, and this one, new in Ukraine - raised a miza - begging for TANKS. Is this a kind of Ukrainian trait - begging? Did Pastorius actually imagine that he was Karl-Heinz Guderian? I don't understand something. According to German law, as Minister of Defense, he can reach the rank of "lieutenant colonel", but you won't say anything by appearance - directly field marshal! hi

    Frightened by the noise about 14/88 and decided to improve?
    In general, it turns out 18 Leopards from the Germans, 3 from the Portuguese, 14 Challengers - it turns out 35 pieces. Despite the fact that all the Internets are discussing at least 150, and someone collects 500 Western tanks in armored fists and throws them on the offensive.
    Something does not beat with something, however ...

    Germany capitulated in 1945. Germany, without the permission of the victorious countries, had no right to transfer weapons to anyone and take part in any hostilities. Violations began in the 90s, when the Germans took part in the NATO operation against Yugoslavia. Although Gorbachev's and Yeltsin's attacks on the withdrawal of troops from the territory of East Germany played no less a role. Now strikes are taking place in Germany, I would like to ask where is our participation in these events, support in the information field, supply of small arms to the demonstrators. Unfortunately, these are only desires and words, but the WHO (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) is still there.

      As long as gas and oil are officially supplied to the "partners" sponsoring the Kyiv junta, the Russian Foreign Ministry will continue to moo, and our soldiers will suffer losses.

    She will say to herself everything that, in her opinion, will save her. But the facts: she brought a bomb and gave it to a man with the aim of blowing him up. What happened. This is a terrorist attack. Another 20 people were injured.
    Judge this female most severely.
    No emollients...
    It's a pity that for women 20 years is the maximum term of imprisonment ... and for the totality of crimes - 35 ... That's 35 and appoint ...
    I would like to add that the imposition of the maximum punishment will also be a kind of protection of the civilian population from terrorists. Maybe someone will beware of committing terrorist attacks. It is necessary to protect the population by all available ways and means.
