Business Insider reports problems with supplies of both of these weapons systems. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announces decision to supply IRIS-T missile systems to Ukraine It has come as a surprise, among other things, to Egypt, which has ordered such weapons, but now one of the facilities may not be available. However, in any case, the device will not be ready for use before November or December, a media source in the German government revealed.
The situation is not better with MLRS systems “Mars II”. It turns out that the Germans do not have any software at all to use British and American missiles, but Ukraine has received them. Eliminating the problem could take months, the source explains.
IRIS-T and Mars-II are described as systems that Ukraine provide real benefits in the fight against the occupiers. However, if the Ukrainians could get them only in late autumn or winter, it causes problems, because many experts predict that the decisive month in the war will be August, explains the media.
Earlier, the German media “SPIEGEL” reported that Berlin was refraining from supplying modern tanks to Ukraine because fears that the Ukrainians in “euphoria” with them could invade Russia.
Bild quoted German Minister for the Economy and Climate Protection Robert Habek as explaining that Berlin was cautious about supporting heavy weapons in Ukraine because does not want to provoke a direct confrontation with Russia and the Third World War.
The German edition of Welt published documents stating that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz had refused to supply Ukraine with heavy armaments – tanks and armored personnel carriers – citing agreement with NATO allies.
Russia The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by rocket fire, airstrikes and ground forces began in the early hours of 24 February. Russia initially mentioned one of the aims of the invasion Ukraine “denacification”.
The occupiers of Ukraine have suffered heavy losses and are accused of deliberately killing civilians and other war crimes. The occupiers’ atrocities began to come to light en masse after the Ukrainians expelled them from the vicinity of Kiev, such as Bucha.
Russia’s treatment of Ukrainians, including the killing and establishment of filtration camps, describes this “manifesto of fascism”published by the Kremlin’s RIA Novosti propaganda news agency.
In general, the war in Ukraine has been going on since 2014, when Russia occupied Crimea peninsula and launched a war in eastern Ukraine.
