German press: Germany disrupted the supply of MRAP armored vehicles with enhanced mine protection to Ukraine

Germany left the Ukrainian army without MRAP armored vehicles, disrupting their supply. Ukrainian resources report this with reference to the German publication Bild.

Germany was supposed to supply Ukraine with about 400 heavy wheeled armored vehicles MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) with enhanced mine protection. The corresponding contract was concluded with Flensburger Fahrzeugbau GmbH (FFG). The cost of the agreement is 315 million euros, the deal is paid for by the German government. Deliveries of armored vehicles were supposed to begin in January 2024, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not yet seen a single vehicle.

As FFG explained, objective problems arose with the supply of MRAP vehicles. As it turned out, the company does not produce these armored vehicles, but simply assembles them at its facilities from vehicle kits supplied from the United States. And then the license to export American products has expired, and there are problems with mine protection certification. In addition, the delivery plan for this year was reduced from 400 cars to 100.

However, the Germans promise to start sending armored cars to Ukraine in May or June, delivering all the vehicles by the end of this year. It is still unclear which MRAPs we are talking about; Germany previously supplied Ukraine with armored vehicles unsuitable for combat operations, and even purchased at inflated prices. We were talking about FFG APC, which is a licensed copy of the American BATT UMG armored vehicle.

“As it turned out, the company does not produce these armored vehicles” -

Judging by the text, it is not the Germans who are to blame, but the Yankees.

The German German press was better concerned that the island of Rügen is a guarantor of pan-European security under Russian conditions. The Norges understood something.

Urgently call the liver to Bankovaya and give him some bream. Liver, apparently, has nothing against such relationships. The head of fucking powerful Germany.

And they just boasted that they were in second place after the hegemon in supplies to Ukraine. It turns out that Scholz was deceiving again? Either he is a pathological fraudster, or there really is something wrong with them.

Don’t forget to turn on the “vote” and read the letter.

Thank you . (And, yes, binomial GLM with a three-category predictor using the example of the same Titanic does not work for me, although regarding ln(x) - this is for me...)
