To say there's room for improvement is an understatement. Taurus.

[–] Badeendje 1 points 1 month ago

Sont thumb your nose at those support vehicles. They are not common and Ukraine needs them. So the fact that Germany is providing them helps.

But yeah.. I hope they supply a nice catch of Taurus. Did the leaked recordings of those Airforce officers not suggest they would need around 20 to blow up that bridge.. so give them 50 for a strike on that bridge and take out both the rail and car decks in a single massive strike. But apparently integrating Taurus to the supplied f16s would be a "thing".

No helmets listed... The silent heroes.

We tried, but then everyone suddenly started shitting on us. /s There are more coming though, as listed on the actual page.

Hey those helmets definitely saved lifes. Everyone that didn't die because of helmets is one that can fight another day. Also they are great for headbutting people.

And only 4600 lamps more and every helmet could have one!

I will stop once Tauri start blowing up invaders

[–] Jumi 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ain't gonna happen. Our government won't do it and the Ukrainian goverment stopped demanding it quite some time ago.

It's a weapon that needs highly specialised men and equipment to be used effectively, both we can not give because it's against our laws (the men) and would left us without it if we gave it away (the equipment).

Germany's chancellor must remove his thumbs from his rectum, even if he is scared of Putlers cumex kompromat, and deliver all of the Tauri to Ukraine, along with whatever is required to make them work as effectively as possible.

I completely agree! We must support Ukraine with everything we've got. Putler will only understand that he may not attack other countries once we morse code punch it into his ugly face.

which of these are the beloved air defense systems?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

An Iris-T in the last package was just delivered.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

so from what I understand Iris-T is the most relevant shit germany gave to ukraine and it is not listed?! i do not get it.
