Germany Says It Cannot Send More Patriot Air Defense Systems to Ukraine

Germany currently has no capacity to deliver additional Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said, citing limits on the country’s own military readiness, according to Deutsche Welle on January 26.

Pistorius said Germany has already made a “disproportionately large contribution” by transferring more than one-third of its Patriot systems to Ukraine, leaving Berlin unable to commit further units at this stage.

He explained that additional deliveries are not possible because the Bundeswehr is still waiting for replacement systems and must preserve its ability to train personnel and maintain operational readiness for Patriot air defense operations.

The defense minister also acknowledged that the number of IRIS-T air defense systems supplied to Ukraine remains insufficient, particularly as Russian air attacks continue to intensify.

“Send Ukraine TOMAHAWKS”

Except for accuracy, the Ukrainian cruise missiles are superior.

The Ukrainian cruise missiles have larger warheads that make accuracy less important.

Tomahawks won’t be a game changer.

The corrupted little man in green is finally running out of other people’s money. Taxpayers in the western world should be rejoicing.

No neodymium magnets, no Patriots. In fact, no most weapons.

China is getting away with this. There is nearly no coverage of this.

Maybe using all of the money grifted by Z and his oligarch buddies from the war effort over the years the ukrainians could purchase some on the open market. Mrs. Z might have to cut back on some of her Paris shopping trips. So sad.

Kind of underscores the headline a while back...

“NATO Chief Says Europe Is ‘Dreaming’ if It Thinks It Can Defend Itself Without U.S.”

Germany, put your money where your mouth is, just buy more! so you can give it to them...

What? you ran out of money? your regulations don’t permit you to go further into debt? Oh, so sorry Ukraine :(
