Germany Sends In The Tanks: Olaf Scholz FINALLY Agrees by adamusuleiman1: 7:54pm On Jan 24, 2023
Germany sends in the tanks: Olaf Scholz FINALLY agrees to send crucial Leopard 2 armoured vehicles to Ukraine and allow other countries to do so, following international pressure.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has decided to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and allow other countries such as Poland to do so, magazine Spiegel reported on Tuesday. The decision concerns at least a company of Leopard 2 A6 tanks, Spiegel said. Other allies, in Scandinavia for example, intend to go along with Germany in supplying their Leopard tanks to Kyiv, the magazine reported.

Berlin earlier on Tuesday stopped short of granting permission for the transfer but underscored that a decision was imminent, provoking a defiant response from the Kremlin.

Poland also upped the ante by putting forward a formal application for the delivery of the German-made tanks from its stocks to Ukraine.

Ukraine and several of its allies have been urging Germany for weeks to allow the delivery of the Leopards, but a US-led meeting of Kyiv's allies in Germany last week failed to yield a decision.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned Moscow shows no signs of changing course in its invasion, noting that Russia has mobilised more than 200,000 troops and is acquiring new weapons from countries like North Korea or Iran.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the delivery of the tanks would 'bring nothing good to the future relationship' between Berlin and Moscow.

Under Germany's war weapons control rules, countries using German-made armaments are required to seek Berlin's permission if they wish to transfer them to a third party.

Poland, one of the loudest voices calling for permission to send Leopard tanks, said earlier this month it was ready to deliver 14 of them to Kyiv within the framework of an international coalition of countries.

As Ukraine marked almost 11months since the start of the war on Tuesday, Zelensky urged his troops to keep up the fight against Russia.

But the comments came with Zelensky battling a widening corruption scandal as his defence ministry was shaken by accusations of food procurement fraud. Local media reports last week accused the ministry of having signed a deal at prices 'two to three times higher' than current rates for basic foodstuffs.

Several officials resigned on Tuesday over the allegations, including a deputy defence minister, two deputy ministers of development of communities and territories, and a deputy minister of social policy.

Ukraine has a history of endemic corruption, including among the political elite, but efforts to stamp out graft have been overshadowed by the war.

Kyiv's Western allies, who have allocated billions of dollars in financial and military support, have been pushing for anti-corruption reforms for years, sometimes as a precondition for aid.

Thousands of tanks have been destroyed in this war, what effect would a few tanks have?
Let me tell you why Americans forced the arm of the Germans to send Ukraine tanks. It is simple: the US will be sending the Abrams their hyped tank, while they have forced Germany to send in the Leopard 2 tanks. This is because the leopard2 will be destroyed while the Abrams will continue to be hyped hereby making the arms market favourable to the Americans.
American A.D flopped in syria today the world thinks Tussia has the best A.D currently. Russia uses the S57 jet, which is claimed to be most sophisticated fighter Jet currently, but will not let that jet go close to where it can be shot down, the reason is because of reverse engineering and the arms market.

Abrams is too heavy for Ukrainian Bridges and uses jet fuel rather than diesel. It's also complex to maintain. So may not be suitable for Ukrainian forces right now. However, no amount of artillery or airfirce destruction of leopards would make leopards lose sales unless the tank performs poorly against Russian tanks one on one. But the Leopards are the best tanks in the world. So don't bet on that.

On paper, but has the leopard been tested in a real battle scenario?

Ukraine has a vast land for the leopard to operate on, not the bridge alone!!

Germany and all these countries donating tanks are not in the top 25 countries that own combat tanks. Russia tops that list with almost 12,688 second only by North Korea. What effect will a few hundred tank have against this? USA is gradually replacing Germany as weapons supplier in Europe and they are doing it with such a ease unlike ever seen. First they took over LNG supplies to Europe at outrageous prices, then AD systems and now tanks.

I have watched some crazy tank battles from Ukraine and the Russian T-72 and T-90s corps are no jokes. Those guys are battle tested. The initial casualty from the siege of Kiev when they were playing a fluke taught them a huge lesson.

The coming days will be very interesting because I know the Ukrainians have been trained already to operate and maintain these Leopard tanks. They just wanna trick the rest of the world with the 4months training window.

Russia has 12,688 tanks?? Then why on earth did they send their soldiers to Ukraine in ancient, outdated, and rickety tanks, the same kind that they sprayed with a fresh coat of paint and put them in their military parade along with other outdated equipment?
At the start of the war, THE KREMLIN admitted that the tanks didn’t have night vision and other sources proved that they didn’t have GPS, forcing soldiers to use GPS on their personal cell phones.

12,566 my bad.

Nobody including my humble self is doubting the hubris committed by Russia at the start of the SMO. Most of those MBTs had their ERA removed and replaced with rubber. The S&T Corp learnt their lessons and moved on. The performance of the Russian military in the first 3months of the SMO can be liken to urban drills cadets and NCOs undertake. Some Russian soldiers even said they were told it is a training mission. The only daring military op was carried out by the SF Paratroopers who took the airport.

Let’s watch out for Tank Battles; T-90M vs Leopard 2A6, Challenger 2, Swedish 122, Abrams 1.
