Weekly update on German support for Ukraine.
Not many deliveries this week, only the following items:
- 2 HX81 armoured trucks
- 7 Themis UGV
- ammunition for Leopard 1 MBT
The last point should be the most interesting as it indicates that the tanks should be delivered soon.
More interesting is what is newly pledged:
- 64 Bandvagn 206
- 66 APC
The government doesn't specify what kind of APC, but media reports indicate that it will be the TPz Fuchs, probably a mix of variants that are in stock or can be shortly made/upgraded, up to the new Fuchs Evolution, Ukraine would be the first army to get that model.

It may have been answered already, but are those Chechens the type to surrender quickly or they will prefer getting their asses kicked? In either case, we already know they are not that competent.
They are there for show only imo. They've been deployed to various spots in Ukraine and seemed to spend most of their time filming social media clips of their guys firing heavy weapons. If they were useful, they would've surely already been used in areas the Russians cared about (like Bakhmut)
Didn't we have a poster who told us they were superior to the EU soldiers and amongst the best soldiers in the world about 6 months ago?
They were the best on earth, the spartans of modern age.
Wasn’t it them who got absolutely obliterated by an arty strike or whatnot on some snowy road at the start of all this?
I think that was reported as such, yeah. Not sure if we ever got confirmation.
Yeah I was trying to find what I was thinking about in the thread. I seem to remember a tweet with a video allegedly showing it.
Was that the guy who shoved boiled eggs up his bum? Unbelievably, this is a genuine question.
The answer to your question is yes.
There were quite of few of these episodes where they got clobbered, then swiftly disappeared from social media for a while. Seems Kadyrov and his goons are very good at looking tough at parades inside Chechnya, but less effective during actual wars.

I thought it was.Umm. Excuse me, what?
There will surely be a point when Ukraine negotiates, but now definitely isn’t it.
There was a poster who apparently discussed anal egg insertion & subsequently got an appropriate tag line referencing such iirc.
In retrospect, one hopes they were peeled hard boiled eggs.
Yeah, but mine was tasteful at least.
I'm assuming these were some kind of weapon, sort of eyes back, drop pants, bend over, FIRE
This war reminds me of humanity’s weakening heartbeat. Senseless violence no matter how you dice it

Honestly, if this was taken in the skies over Ukraine, it is one of the biggest testaments to the inept status of the Russian military in a single photograph that I could think of.
How do you mean? These can be launched quite deep inside UA airspace.
Any major power that isn’t playing amateur hour at warfare would have eliminated Ukrainian air defenses and the Ukrainian Air Force within the first week of combat. That Russia didn’t, and is now being attacked by cruise missile carrying aircraft is unreal. If you went back in a time machine to February 2022 and told people this would be the reality in the air, they’d laugh you out of the room.
That's what the guy with the boiled eggs said.
