The German government has authorized the Netherlands to supply 400 German-made rocket-propelled grenades to Ukraine to help fight Russian attackers. In addition, 14 armored vehicles are to be exported.
The federal government has authorized the Netherlands to deliver 400 German-made bazookas to Ukraine . This was confirmed by a spokesman for SPIEGEL. Politico had previously reported on it. As the dpa news agency reports, Estonia should also be allowed to deliver several artillery pieces from old GDR stocks. So far, Chancellor Olaf Scholz ( SPD ) had rejected arms exports to Ukraine on principle because it is a crisis area. States need the green light from Germany to pass on weapons produced in Germany. For months, Ukraine has been demanding the delivery of weapons and other armaments from Germany. So far, the federal government had only promised 5,000 helmets, which were handed over to the Ukrainian armed forces on Saturday. 14 armored vehicles According to the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection, the export of 14 armored vehicles with special protection was also approved for Ukraine on Saturday. The vehicles were used for personal protection, possibly also for evacuation purposes, it said. They are to be handed over to Ukrainian authorities. In addition, up to 10,000 tons of fuel are to be delivered to Ukraine via Poland . Further support services are currently being examined.

1. What a joke.
2. To be delivered....where....exactly???
And to think that at one time the world feared the Germans.
Across the Polish border maybe. Same as US arms shipment.
I think they need to make the delivery yesterday.
And since they’re so late to the party, they’re extending their condolensces at the same time.
“1. What a joke.”
Not if you’re a Russian tanker who gets treated to a face full of molten copper slugs.
“2. To be delivered....where....exactly???”
‘On target’ is the general idea.
The Russians will be very grateful for the free German weapons which will end up in their hands.
Yup. Or last month.
Panzers to Russia? Is Fritz waxing nostalgic?
Hopefully not. I think they will be used until the barrel melts down.
Both Biden and now Germany on record sending help too late.
About 400 should do.
“Across the Polish border maybe. Same as US arms shipment.”
Russia has a problem. They can’t secure Ukraine’s western border as that would be too high a risk of an encounter with NATO forces.
But with the border open, the Ukrainians are receiving a constant supply of materiel from Europe.
Delivering a handful of antitank weapons no Ukrainian soldier is trained on...is a JOKE.
And no plan to even get these few weapons to the front line soldiers who need them because nearly all roads, airports and train lines of supply are controlled by Russians.
You answer...third grade macho answers is the biggest joke.
“Here’s a sad and disturbing picture of a German woman learning how to use a Panzerfaust.”
Probably the last photo ever taken of her.
Exactly I had a very dear friend who died recently he immigrated from German to the USA after WW II, he was drafted into the Wehrmacht and sent to the Eastern Front at 16 years old, he told me a story once of a guy next to him shooting a panzerfaust at a Russian T-34 tank and penetrating the turret, it was pretty grusome.
