The German government has finalized a 700-million-euro ($770.28 million) military aid package for Ukraine, the defense ministry said on Tuesday, the first day of a NATO summit in Vilnius.
The package includes two Patriot launchers from Bundeswehr stock, 40 additional Marder infantry fighting vehicles, 25 additional 1 A5 main battle tanks, as well as five Bergepanzer 2 tanks, the ministry said.
It includes an additional 20,000 rounds of artillery ammunition and 5,000 rounds of 155 mm smoke ammunition, the ministry added.
The package “serves Ukraine’s priorities: air defense, tanks, artillery ... with it, we are making an important contribution to strengthening Ukraine’s sustainability,” defense minister Boris Pistorius said in a statement.
Danke schön, Deutschland!
Nice they could deliver such a pittance.
We have rounding errors nine times that amount.

More non whites for Germany. Demographics is the real war in Europe.

Right?...we just found an extra 6,000,000,000 in Joes medication bag.
Germany has provided a lot of aid.
This is just this batch.
Moreover the bulk of German aid is in money and supplies and refugee resettlement, etc.
One way of looking at it is %of GDP so far committed
US - 0.33%
UK - 0.37%
Ger- 0.46%
Pol- 0.68%
At the top is Estonia at 1.26%
All the aid to Ukraine, for the US, amounts to a rounding error.
biden is intent on a war from all this... the $$$ he received from nations, and the payback may come from all of us!
Bannon thinks there is impeachment owed to biden and 2 others who are in the bag for trouble.
Rheinmetall will build and repair tanks in Ukraine, says CEO
“Rheinmetall will open an armored vehicle plant in Ukraine within the next 12 weeks, shrugging off concerns other Western defense companies reportedly have about building a presence in the country while it is at war with Russia.”
Reminds of when Obama was called a "conservative" by our own media.

My favorite in the moment is Resident Biden.... "conservative." Yup.

Ah, media and the truths it tells.... < sarc >
While we have funded into the hundreds of billions a war that, ethically, I don’t believe we should be funding at all.
US has a stockpile of of 3 million DPICM (Cluster Munitions) rounds

Right you are. One need look no further than France and they are still (well) under 20%.
Wait until the turd worlders get to about 33%, France will fall and be replaced by….???
North Algeria…
“Nice they could deliver such a pittance.”
They don’t have much more left. Since they’re throwing in their last weapons, they must really TRUST PUTIN not to continue heading West after he liberates Ukraine, since they no longer have the means to stop him, or at least slow him down.
“Rheinmetall will build and repair tanks in Ukraine, says CEO”
I assume that the facility will be underground, or in a mountain.
“Peanuts. This news shows that militarily, Europe is in a terrible position. Russia fires 20,000 rounds of artillery on an average day.”
Ukraine will fire them in 2 or 3 days at their rate. At least when we disarm Japan, South Korea, and/or Taiwan, we take 500,000 at a time - but same result, they get ‘disposed of’ in Ukraine without noticeably affecting Russia.
This news seems to indicate that something has drastically changed about Russian capabilities and what can be expected from them.
