“The biggest problem for us is communication,” said Vollmer.

According to him, “since 2020, manufacturers will not be obliged to supply spare parts for radio stations and other communication equipment.”

At the same time, Vollmer noted that "the modernization of the German army to achieve the required capacity will take many years."

    It would be better if this money was used for charitable purposes or for the environment, unless of course the money is unfastened.

      Well, the mosaic has developed, now it becomes obvious why we were transferred from partners to rivals. Of course, the Bundester wants to, but on the other side, someone also has to contribute to ease the burden for the children from behind the puddle.

      This inspector has a "trick" that sticks out laughing
      Probably, the specialists from the machine-building company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), sent a "thank you" in an envelope so that this particular bridgelayer would "push" laughing
      And by himself, this inspector is the "guy of the world" good
      And there is no need to keep the staff of scouts. Ida, interview the inspectors laughing
      How many spreaders are needed (31, and why not 29 or 33?), Where are you planning to use them, which rivers to force laughing

    In short, the result can not be expected.

    So it is necessary to make more iskanders with nuclear warheads. No need to compete with them in conventional weapons. A missile with a nuclear warhead costs less than a dozen tanks, and the damage it causes is enormous. The Germans do not deserve humanism, for their atrocities against our people, they must pay a thermonuclear tornado in their cities. And let him just poke around again, it will be a visual lesson to the rest.

    This time in the event of a major war, Russia definitely needs to attach the lands controlling access to the Mediterranean Sea - Constantinople and part of the Mediterranean coast. And be sure to throw the British from Gibraltar and take it.

    I don't know about the Germans, but at our station I saw a huge number of pontoon sections for guiding crossings and floating transporters. Well, I saw three MT-LB on the platforms and some other cars that I did not identify. Apparently somewhere on the swollen rivers to direct temporary crossings. Our direction is "west-east". Apparently they go east. And for the Germans, so everything has probably become dilapidated for 25 years. The USSR collapsed, with Russia gesheft in everything. There is nobody to be afraid of. Even now they have no one to fear in our face. They need a compact army, and they don't need an "American umbrella" at all.

    If we at least once unite with the Germans, then all of Europe will be with us. If Europe is with us, then all Eurasia will be with us. If Eurasia is with us, then the Americans will have no one to rob - after all, we will not give. And if so, then a karachun will come to them. And they don’t want him.
    It is necessary to make the Germans their friends.

      There is such an anecdote:

      Once upon a time there were mice. Everyone offended them. Once a mouse came to an owl:
      -Wise owl, help! All of us are eating. Soon we will not be left. What to do ?
      The owl thought and said:
      -Mice! Become a hedgehog! Be prickly and inaccessible for hunters.
      The mice ran joyfully:
      -Become a hedgehog! Become a hedgehog!
      Suddenly one stopped:
      -And does anyone know: how to become a hedgehog?
      No one. We ran back to the owl.
      -Owl! And how do we become hedgehogs ???
      -Mice! Go to # Y%! I am not a tactician, I am a strategist!

      So, your post is a purely utterance of an owl.
      And nicho, that there were 2 world wars (and, OBOZHE, every time there was a nemchura in the main role), and indeed the centuries-old confrontation with the "united" Europe, headed, traditionally, by the Germans and the brazen Saxons?
