German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius: Germany may reconsider its position regarding the transfer of fighter jets to Ukraine

Germany initially refused to supply Ukraine with modern Western-made fighters, saying that it would not transfer the F-16 to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but this position may change. This was stated by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

The head of the German military department, talking with journalists from German publications, said that Germany's position on the issue of transferring military equipment to Ukraine aviation may change. According to him, Berlin is now weighing all the pros and cons, the final decision will be made in two weeks and it is quite possible that it will be positive for Kyiv.



We are right now in the phase of rethinking and testing what is possible and what we want and can do. And I think we will decide in the next two weeks

Pistorius said.

If in the issue of fighters the Germans allow the supply of aircraft, then on the Taurus cruise missiles everything is unchanged, Kyiv will not receive them. Berlin refuses, following the British, to supply the Kiev regime with long-range weapons, capable of delivering strikes on the territory of Russia.

On the issue of supplying aircraft to Germany, NATO and EU allies are pressing, demanding that Berlin join the so-called "fighter coalition", which, to date, includes eight European countries. On the other hand, Zelensky, with an outstretched hand, constantly demands weapons and aircraft, sending his emissaries to Berlin. Recently, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that Kyiv wanted to receive part of the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets from Germany, of course, free of charge.

    The fascist reptile feels that the matter will not end with Ukraine. It delays its end with the carcasses of Banderva. Once it already happened. He hopes that Germany will get off easy after all this? The START bargaining has already begun, he is aware.

          German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius: We are just now in the phase of rethinking

          It would be interesting to see (listen) firsthand in a country that considers itself a sovereign country, the phases of rethinking that evoke the spirit of Uncle Sam winked

          If anyone hates Russians in Europe, it's the Germans. They just hate us on a genetic level. The Western ones did not tear it down, the Eastern ones skillfully concealed it for the time being.
          At one time, in the early eighties, he came across the Germans and they were their "Komsomol members", well, Merkel's example speaks for itself.

          The solutions have long been clear.
          Recently, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that Kyiv wanted to receive part of the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets from Germany, of course, free of charge.

          Only those weapons that require testing in real databases will be left free of charge. And some of the old stocks are cheaper to dispose of in Ukraine than at home.
          Everything else is under loans with the highest interest because the return is close to zero.

      We don't need more than Ukraine. Most likely, the Pistoriuses sensed that it was really hard for the bloomers on the offensive without aviation. However, with aviation, too.

      It is not necessary to wishful thinking - now it is unrealistic, the USSR is needed. And the message of this character is quite logical: you will succeed in an offensive operation - you will get f-16, you will be beaten - so we did not promise anything

      Tell me, what are the prices for such a post now? I ask because if you don't work here, are you stoned or what? Are you going to finish the English Channel without taking Maryinka in 15 months? Well, then it had to start in the time of mammoths. No, seriously, how much does it cost to scribble such hatred posts?

    It is not the Germans who decide, but in the State Department. Therefore, the statement from the German is a statement of the fact that it is the Yankees who demand to give planes to the Sun.

        They were needed and helpful.
        In the Czechoslovak events, the main "calmener" was the army of the GDR.
        It is difficult to think ahead, but with a certain reformatting of European countries (and it seems inevitable) and a corresponding reformatting of Russia (also inevitable due to historical processes), the resumption of constructive cooperation is quite possible.

    Yes, no one doubts that they will throw up and throw firewood and everything is more serious. But only as they receive guarantees that nothing will fly to them for such pranks. And they have no other options than to heat up the situation. Presses the regional committee, presses Britain through psheks with flea tigers.

      Have received for a long time.
      And they received confirmation by gestures of "good will".
      Their only concern is the understanding of the non-eternity of the current situation. hi

    But I didn’t understand these German show-offs - they don’t have F-16s in service, do they? What then was he going to revise?

      In addition to the F16, Germany, Italy and the UK now have their first Eurofighters (tranche 1) with a very decent resource going "for decommissioning and storage." Donavi49 counted them, IMHO, he managed to get under a hundred combat-ready.

      According to the press, Macron is already studying the Armed Forces of Ukraine at Mirage2000. Although Mirage 2000, IMHO, the Indians would be happy to buy at least spare parts.

      This is all in addition to F16, which are also not in the United States, but in Europe "for write-off and in the warehouse" and which are almost at the price of "non-ferrous metal scrap" (they will also be given to the Armed Forces of Ukraine).

      Eurofighter tranche 1, Mirage2000 and F16 are not in the top configuration, but with a sufficient resource and there are many and many ASPs for them.

      Purely theoretically, Europe still has a certain number of "half-dead" Tornadoes in the shock version, but somehow I would not want to at all ...

        There is something wrong with the article. Here is what they write in Germany: "Pistorius sagte zu einer möglichen deutschen Unterstützung, sie werde "derzeit geprüft". Der deutsche Beitrag sei aber "nicht maßgeblich, weil wir einfach keine F-16-Flugzeuge haben und auch bei der Pilotenausbildung mutmaßlich nothing besonders viel helfen könnten", betonte er in Brüssel."
        I translate: “Pistorius said that possible German support is “currently being studied.” However, the German contribution would be “minor, because we simply do not have F-16s and probably could not help much with pilot training,” he stressed in Brussels.
        The Luftwaffe has 200 Tornados and 138 Eurofighters.

    In fairness, until recently, we could have made a bunch of such photos! The thing is, they were able to offer the idea of ​​​​youth, a superman or something, and ours created only stillborn projects for cutting the dough, like "Ours", headed by Yakimenko. Where is he, by the way, over the hill for a long time?

    A question for Pistorius - is he aware that F-16 aircraft have never been in service with the Luftwaffe of the Bundeswehr?

    Where does he go, what is ordered in the USA - that he will carry out.
    The Americans were in a stage of uncertainty, then Germany was not forced to send planes, now the Americans have decided and kick this official in the ass so that he moves and also sends some.

    It confuses me that the Russian government does not declare that countries sending tanks, howitzers, aircraft will pay reparations after the end of the war. Then the Europeans will start scratching their heads and rushing about. Maybe they will send a few less planes, and that's okay.
