On May 13, Germany announced that it would supply Kiev forces with a military aid package worth nearly $3 billion, marking Berlin’s largest pledge in military aid since the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.
The German Ministry of Defence said in a statement that the package will include 30 additional Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks, 20 new Marder infantry fighting vehicles and more than 100 other smaller armored vehicles, as well as 200 surveillance drones, four new IRIS-T SLM air defense systems with 12 IRIS-T SLS launchers, numerous anti-aircraft missiles and 18 wheeled howitzers, possibly RCH-155, along with ammunition.
“With this valuable contribution of urgently needed military material, we are once again showing that Germany is serious about its support,” Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said.
“We all wish for a speedy end to this terrible war waged by Russia against the Ukrainian people, which is contrary to international law. Unfortunately, this is not yet in sight. Germany will therefore provide all the help it can – as long as it takes,” Pistorius added.
The military aid package was announced ahead of a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who will reportedly hold high-level talks in Berlin and receive the European Charlemagne Prize on May 14.
The new weapons promised by Germany will not change the balance of power in favor of Ukraine. However, they will prolong the conflict in the country.
Germany moved from being the main opponent of arming the Kiev regime, to one of its biggest military supporters. Berlin has supplied Kiev forces with billions worth of weapons, military equipment and ammunition since the start of the Russian special military operation last year.
Not everyone in Germany has been on board with their government’s decision, however. Thousands took to the streets of Berlin and other major cities across the country on several occasions in the last few months to protest the delivery of weapons to Ukraine.

Als Steuerzahler, bin ich eigentlich voll dagegen.
Tja, ist aber nicht relevant was Du möchtest. Als Steuerzahler und Untertan des USRegimes heisst es Fresse halten und den Proxywar brav weiterfinanzieren.
Dabei wird gleich noch Deutschland deindustrialisiert und die Filetstücke in die USA verschoben
Zeit, die lächerlichen Marionetten auszutauschen.
Das “eigentlich” klingt niedlich
That is inline with Merkel “Minsk 1.0 was never about peace but about giving Kiev time to build military”. How about china’s Minsk 3.0?

Only reason you hurl the tired ‘natsi accusations’ is because of your victimhood of .edu indoctrination. Gen Patton even suggested we should have been fighting the Bolsheviks instead which are now taking over the West as we speak…THE BOLSHEVIKS HAVE NOT RESIDED IN RUSSIA FOR DECADES.

Germany has not been sovereign since 1945. It’s a NATO anglo protectorate. A car selling colony. Their politicians marked it’s end as a concrete entity. How much lower can it fall is the question.
Just like Japan hellhole.
It will fall beyond the American level. Culturally, demographically transformed and obliterated. The once great Germany is now used as a pawn a prostitute like Japan
RF musí pritvrdiť!!! Inak debili zo západu si nedajú nikdy pokoj. Myslím, že Pandorina skrinka ktorú západ otvoril by sa mala teraz aktivovať, aby z nej vyliezlo niečo aj na tých, čo ju otvorili. Teraz bude záležať na dobrom načasovaní.
Germany needs to remember the visit of Pres. John F. Kennedy and what he said in his speech, only this time understand it as encouraging Germans to withdraw from NATO and oppose it’s the proxy war in Ukraine.
For the ones who want to know about the ‘grande’ incoming atlantic pussy counterstrike ‘tournament’ of recent days. here are the real news:
1. The RF Armed Forces repelled the attacks of the battalion tactical group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of the village of Krasnoe in the DPR
As a result of the attack, the nationalists lost about 200 servicemen killed and wounded;
The commander of the 4th motorized rifle brigade, Colonel Vyacheslav Makarov, being at the forefront, personally led the battle;
Two enemy attacks were repulsed. The servicemen of the brigade destroyed three tanks, four infantry fighting vehicles and two armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine;
During the reflection of the third attack, the brigade commander was seriously wounded and died during the evacuation from the battlefield; Colonel Yevgeny Brovko, deputy commander of the army corps for military-political work, led the actions of the personnel, being in another sector of repelling enemy attacks;
During the battle to repel one of the attacks, Colonel Yevgeny Brovko died heroically, having received multiple shrapnel wounds.
2.Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation about the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the east of Bogdanovka (the direction of the Berkhovsky reservoir)
Motorized riflemen of the 3rd battalion of the 200th motorized rifle brigade repelled six attacks east of Bogdanovka, DPR
The attacks involved assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine numbering more than 100 people, seven tanks, 14 infantry fighting vehicles, as well as other military and special equipment;
Seven tanks, 11 infantry fighting vehicles and more than 50 Ukrainian servicemen were destroyed;
In the zone of responsibility of the 6th division, an attack by enemy assault groups was repelled with the support of three tanks and four infantry fighting vehicles;
Enemy losses amounted to over 30 Ukrainian servicemen, two tanks and three infantry fighting vehicles.
So, if you see, denazification is going extremely well especially when russians are REAL russians and behave like theirs ancestor fritz killers in ww2, HEROES, like Panfilov’s 28 soldiers, who only with minimal antitank weapons stopped in its track a vast fascist armored attack. Of course the majority were killed but the damage done to hitlerists were very high and they cannot advance at all. I recomend you to see on Youtube the excellent movie there ! Glory to Russia and its heroes. If russian army will get that kind of mentality, which is very needed but still not in majority, I will have no doubts what so ever that the atlantic shithole will succumb no matter what is going.
Thank you Germany 🙏🏻
Unfortunately Ukraine will no longer exist so thank the German WEF globalists as much as you like.
“Fortunately” Ukraine won’t exist.
Zelensky gets a lot of “packages.” It won’t be long before he opens the wrong one. One cockroach gone.
1A5 is weaker than T72. No match to russian tanks on battle field.
Right, even a t62m has better armor and stronger Canon.
German citizens are so conquered mentally and legally that they are a powerless force. Just pathetic and meak activists
No one even ask Germans. Shameless traitorous politicians are owned by Yanks, same as media. Americans decided to pay for this war with German money. I guess Germany is not humiliated, weakened and plundered enough (including destruction of NS). Also Germany is the only country in Europe that can still make weapons on their own (and it’s better than American crap). Americans prefer to watch German weapons destroyed instead of American, destroyed Abrams not looking good on CNN.
German occupiers putting their tanks back on Russian territory should be a wake up call for any Russians who aren’t ready to sacrifice to kill the Ukrainian pigs and invaders.
Germany needs teaching another lesson.
Lancet will take care of the howicers an the leopard1 are no seroius enemy for russian t72bm, t80um or t90m. So?
he is a terrible cocaine zombie, or an easy to control puppet for Washington.
Its already there….its like 4 days drive away…..Heard they are actually decent and more scared of the madness going on around them…..That mad explosion…..they are hitting them with Moab level weapons….
Death in ROme – lulllaby
more sf censorship = more Support for Germany
Why isn’t Russian blowing up these weapons deliveries out of the air, off the rails, coming in on trucks…? Why is Russia not more proactive?
Well. It’s pretty obvious. You let the enemy put their trained drivers and operators on the equipment you want to destroy, let them fill that equipment with ammo, and drive it right up to where your weapons systems can destroy it, with ease, and you get a better result, a bigger bang for your bucks, and in some cases, you can seize the equipment as trophies. Make sense now?
this is what russia gots for being weak and soft, the west will do that for years and years, this will be a forever war, because russia dont have the balls to actually do war. its not for human consideration is because the russian elite a re a bunch of pussyes.
I sincerely hope that the filth “running” Germanistan and the evil Natostan sewer in BruSSels slash the EUSSR pay dearly for the genocide which they have unleashed on rump Ukrapland since their jew masters started the slaughter with poisoned cookie monster Nudelman and Pyatt on the Maidan in 2014. The dolt retards currently continuing the communist whore’s “work”, Merkill are even more dangerous than the evil STASI Erika when she flooded the continent with the migrant detritus of USSA’S juice wars of expansion and lied through her rotten teeth when she falsely signed the Minsk Peace Agreement. Scum! Z and more Z all the way back to Berlin and Brussels if that’s what it takes to rid Euro peons of this Satanic Soros scum.
German armour spotted heading towards Latvia May 14th. Kaliningrad on point for invasion. Belarus poised to nuke a NATO sneak attack. Latvia, Estonia, Finland, to be steam rolled by Russians if. NATO is still trying to find the soft underbelly of the Russian bear. Hint, they don’t have one, not anymore they don’t(central bank and NGO subversives are gone). An attack on Kaliningrad, will escalate to nuclear war.
what german armour? the most of the functional stuff was sended by the german hochverräter und landesverräter to ucraine. in germany now theres not much left of armament that works or in good condition.
