Bloomberg: Germany Allows Ukraine ‘Preparatory’ Training on Leopard Tanks
Germany hasn’t made a decision to allow the sending of Leopard battle tanks to Ukraine, but will allow other countries to train Ukrainian soldiers on the vehicles.
“Germany won’t stand in the way if other states act like us, especially with regard to the possible preparatory training on these tanks,” new defense minister, Boris Pistorius, said Friday after a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at the US airbase in Ramstein.
The step to allow training doesn’t “pre-conclude” any possible decision on provision of the German-made tanks, Pistorius said.
“But we are preparing ourselves for every possible case.” At the same time, he stressed that a request by some countries to send Leopards to Ukraine wasn’t discussed at the Ramstein meeting.

The Bundeswehr is actually naked! We are expected to have a severe shortage of weapons by 2025 due to the energy crisis. It is simply unprofitable for factories to sell weapons at the same prices!

Cheap xxxxx's have been paying max 0.8 gdp. Trump was right.
Scholz-o-matic is a Russian sympathizer.
He needs to be tried for treason.
"Reminder - In 1980's, Olaf Scholz and Gerhard Schroder headed the Jusos socialist youth organization that worked with Russians to organize protests against "complete submission to the offensive strategy of American globalist imperialism”."
"Reminder: Scholz used to be even worse. In the 80s the ruling party of East- regarded him as 'an important ally in the struggle against NATO'. He visited East- 9 times with special privileges. He identified as a Marxist and showed strong dislike for both NATO and West-"
