Pistorius again complained about the Bundeswehr's empty arsenals due to Ukraine.

Germany no longer has weapons to transfer to Ukraine; everything it had has already been sent, according to a statement made by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

Germany has once again emptied its arsenals for Ukraine, and now Defense Minister Pistorius is again complaining that Kyiv received systems intended for the Bundeswehr. And since the warehouses are empty, there's nothing left to send, so other countries should now contribute to arming the Zelensky regime.

There is nothing left in our reserves that could be provided to Ukraine.

According to Pistorius, Europe will once again have to pool money to buy everything Kyiv needs, primarily equipment Defense American-made Patriot systems. But here, everything depends on the US's capabilities. There are concerns that even if the Americans had the necessary funds, they still wouldn't sell the systems because their production is very slow and the waiting list is very long.

Naturally, we're facing constraints not so much on funding but on industrial capacity. Therefore, it will be difficult to repeatedly talk to the US about potential.

Well, that's it

Germany has once again emptied its arsenals

The cheap Geraniums knocked out all the Patriots with their presence,
But this junk can't handle ballistics or supersonic missiles - what should the Ukrainians do?

Well, they're still trying hard, and in some parts of the theater of operations they're even trying to launch a "counteroffensive." It turns out Pistorius isn't telling the whole story.

Well, they're still trying hard.

Their counteroffensive is primarily infantry-based, occasionally using the remnants of armored vehicles for delivery. They are covered from above by their UAVs.

It has nothing to do with Pistorius's regrets about the air defense system. Those regrets relate to the strikes on Ukrainian Nazi energy facilities.

Well, near Ternovate, our troops destroyed about three good armored groups, including armored vehicles and tanks, and even brought a Caesar to Verkhnia Tersa (though it was destroyed that same day). They have something else, too. As for air defense, yesterday, when they destroyed the aircraft factory in Lviv (the hangar complexes) with French Mirages, their Patriot worked, even knocking out two solid shells.

about three good ones like that

Of the tanks, I saw one Abrams, trapped and knocked out by drones. It's absolutely impossible to say the armored groups suffered damage comparable to 2023. The main attacks were infantry-based.

It's not entirely clear about the dummy rounds. If the attack was with Daggers, then they shouldn't have been hit anyway? But in any case, the Ukrainian Nazis' most effective weapon against any ballistics is the Patriots, which they are in short supply of. It's these that Pistorius is worried about.

Wherever the gynecologist rummages, Pistorius usually finds his way into the warehouse...
I wonder if they really appoint defense ministers for fun?
As for the US not selling it, he's worrying for nothing. They will! It's not a given that they'll supply it, but they'll sell it willingly.

The Western dandy is being disingenuous, pretending to be a rabbit! The West regularly sends drone parts to Ukraine, where skilled craftsmen assemble them in the burrows of every district. The West's strategy is clear: yes, Ukraine's mobilization resources are depleted, and the frontline pendulum could swing sharply in their favor. To compensate for the lack of infantry, they are sharply increasing drone production. The intention is clear: to exchange the Ukrainian infantryman for our fighter for a drone for our fighter. Hence Zelo's statements: the goal is to increase Russia's human losses to 50 per month. And they don't particularly care who they hit. They happily kill civilians in Donetsk, Belgorod, Kursk... with the same goals: 1. To prevent us from concentrating drone-killing systems along the front lines. 2. To train young troops, their own Ukrainian trainees, as drone operators. 3. Disruption of fuel supply logistics to the front line. 4. Destabilization of internal order.
The Germans' whining is on the same topic: by crippling Ukraine's power grid and rail logistics, our military is ruining their drone-to-fighter exchange plan, hence the moaning. They have nothing with which to repel most missiles or cover the power grid.

Bullshit! The key word is "yet again." How many of these "yet again" have there been, and how many more will there be?

It's time to sign the capitulation, there is nothing left to hope for.
