German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht has said that she sees hardly any possibilities left to supply Ukraine with weapons and equipment directly from the German military stockpiles.
Talking to the Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper, Lambrecht said that in order to maintain Germany's defense capability, future deliveries to Ukraine would increasingly have to be made directly via the arms industry.
"To this end, we are continuously coordinating with Ukraine," she said, in remarks published Saturday.
"In the case of deliveries from Bundeswehr stocks, however, I have to be honest, we have now reached a limit," Lambrecht said.

NATO has depleted its war stock.....I bet you can buy a Javelin for 20k from the Uke crime syndicates.....They would be 120k here plus $200 transfer tax if the F Troop would let us have them.
This was absolutely expected. It’s NATO for Crap’s sake. It’s time for you to borrow a few tens of billions more this week so the US can send its share and subsidize everyone else’s share, too. Heck, I’m old enough to remember when America First was cool around here. Now it’s Bankrupt America First for a majority of FReepers when it come to this Obama/Soros/DS sh!thole.
Germany has a tiny army with not that much stuff.
Literally, decades of neglect.
Agreed.
“...buy a Javelin for 20k from the Uke crime syndicates...120k here plus $200 transfer tax..”
Can’t speak to recent price adjustments, but from memory Javelin reloads were $200k NIB back in the “0ughts”...ie 2001, 2002, etc.
Twice that if you needed the starter kit that included a command launch system.
I thought at the time it would be cheaper to “buy” the tanks from surrendering crews.
“ Germany has a tiny army with not that much stuff.

Given the history of the last 100 years, isn’t that a good thing?

Evidence that Ukraine train station cluster bomb attack was false flag done to drag NATO into the war
Video goes through these cluster bomb rockets, who owns them, who uses them, down to details, chapter and verse. Notably, it’s the same Scarab-U cluster bomb rocket fired into downtown Donetsk by the Ukes last March, killing pro-Russian civilians.
True. I recall reading a story about German troops in Afghanistan that refused to “work” if it was too cold or hot. But who knows?
“I know that Defense Minister Christine...”
LOL.
“Germany has a tiny army with not that much stuff. Literally, decades of neglect.”
Agree, as to the cause, perhaps they read the seminal tome by Francis Fukuyama: “The End of History”, where he made the very convincing case that the need for warfare no longer exists in the post Cold War world as all major countries in the world now agree that Western Liberal Democracy is the best path forward.
Here’s a link to the book, in case you want to buy a copy and join the rest of us in understanding that warfare will no longer occur:

Oh yea, almost forgot, I doubt Putin (or Xi) has read it, though.
