German Leopard 2 tanks have reached Ukraine
Reuters ^ | March 27, 2023 | Staff Report

The 18 Leopard 2 battle tanks pledged by Germany to support Ukraine in its war against Russia have arrived in Ukraine, the German Defence Ministry said on Monday.

Germany agreed in January to supply the tanks, regarded as among the best in the West's arsenal, overcoming misgivings about sending heavy weaponry that Kyiv says is crucial to defeat Russia's invasion but Moscow casts as a dangerous provocation.

"I'm sure that they can make a decisive contribution on the front," German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said in a tweet.

Besides the 18 tanks, 40 German Marder infantry fighting vehicles, and two armoured recovery vehicles had also reached Ukraine, a security source said.

The German army trained the Ukrainian tank crews as well as the troops assigned to operate the Marder vehicles for several weeks in Muenster and Bergen in northern Germany.

You are excited that the weapons we supply to the country we support will be destroyed by the enemy?

18 tanks will serve the equivalent of an armor company.

That should be enough to take Crimea, right?

Your “we” may include biden, msm and all the other Amarica hating freaks, but it does not include me. I do not support Ukraine. The sooner they surrender, the better.

To: Does so

—> Why would you say such a thing?

Because the globohomopedos in charge of western democracies are a greater imminent threat to the world than Russia.

Trump handled Russia and will again.

You were wrong when you claimed the Leopards were being destroyed a month ago.

You get a lot wrong.

Exactly.

I can’t believe there are so many people who can’t see what this is really all about.

“Because I think Ukraine is a corrupt shithole and I will celibrate their dmise.”

You do know — according to various objective sources — that Russia is listed as more corrupt than Ukraine, don’t you?

“I do not support Ukraine. The sooner they surrender, the better.”

So, it sounds like you support Russia.

More than only Leopard 2s. Ukraine has been getting quite a few different kinds of weapons and ammunition with much more on the way.

When has Russia become my enemy?
Ukraine is not my enemy as well.
Not my dog not my fight.
