When I read this post I tried not to laugh but to ask some critical questions like;

1. Is Germany really sending heavy weapons to Ukraine?
2. Can the weapons Germany has sent to Ukraine be considered heavy weapons or light arms?

So far, we hear from the media that the biggest economy in Europe and having one of the largest defence industry in Europe, Germoney is sending arms to Ukraine to fight the Russians and pro west fanbo.ts on Nairaland always celebrate to the point of massive orgas.m to such news without full understanding of the meaning of what is being said or the implications to reality on ground.

From observation, Germany is only concern about its economy and paying lipservice to the situation in Ukriane to avoid backlash or stroking from its masters at Washington. The German economy must not be in any compromising situation or the regime at Berlin will suffer heavy consequences. But Germany need to be seen as a leading figure in the current anti Russian actions in Europe.


Is Germany sincere? Why is the Bundeswehr always listing weapons they don't have complete export control as aid to Ukriane https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/swiss-veto-german-request-re-export-tank-ammunition-ukraine-2022-04-26/

Who is fooling who?

Germany defence ministers since 2013 has been women Who has no war experience

Imagine women, as in nwanyi, Iya

Which serious minded country even after Russia adventure in Crimea in 2014 had a woman with no war experience or past military service as a defence minister?

Not just 1 woman, but 3 consecutive women as defence minister since 2013.
Ursula von Der leyen (current President European commission) 2013-2019
Annegret Kramp-Karrenbaur 2019-2021
Lambrecht (incumbent)

Trust me it's either the weapons they are sending are the usual anti tank light arms that hardly dent the T64 tanks, or they are sending obsolete 1970s tanks like the 4 S300PMU from Slovakia.

Without Swiss intervention in their defence industry Germoney barely has working weapons and military equipment

The Last ministers were all females so they have tanks suitable for pregnant women and APC with baby pouches and sanitary wares so much for copying the western woke society

There's a natural economic and strategic relationship that Germany rightfully cultivated with Russia. It's no wonder why they prefer sending helmets than actual weapons https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/27/a-joke-germany-mocked-over-plan-to-send-helmets-to-ukraine


I understand the emotional reaction from the West especially when news like this trend in the MSM but the reality on ground is entirely different.

And I think the op sapientia of the original post is grossly misinformed by the msm

Germany won't be sending heavy weapons to Ukriane at least not now. The West are still testing the waters to know what weapon system the Russians can tolerate in Ukriane

Recall the Poland misadventures with Mig 29 jets sent to German airbase for delivery to Ukraine https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/9/us-rejects-poland-offer-to-send-mig-29-fighter-jets-to-ukraine

Now you get it
