German Aid to Ukraine

4/4 — It is clear that this is another important step towards European autonomy and the uninterrupted supply of state-of-the-art ammunition to its armed forces, which will ultimately also benefit Ukraine.

3/4 — According to the Federal Cartel Office, the German Bundeswehr has already ordered artillery ammunition from this joint venture, while several other countries are also eligible to place orders.

2/4 — With the permission now granted, Diehl Defence will set up a production facility for 155mm shells in Germany, while Nammo will contribute the licence for the production of its own artillery shells in Germany and some components.

1/4 — The Federal Cartel Office has just announced that it has approved the establishment of a joint venture between German Diehl Defence and Norwegian Nammo, which aims to produce 155mm artillery ammunition in Germany.

2/2 — Just last Friday, SPIEGEL reported that some nations had withdrawn their pledges, which is why fewer missiles than originally planned will now be delivered for the Ukrainian MIM-104 Patriot fire units.

1/2 — The German MoD confirmed to SPIEGEL that it had been able to secure slightly fewer than the originally planned 30 PAC-3 missiles from partner nations (including the Netherlands) and would now deliver these to #Ukraine together with five additional ones from Germany.

Also die Videolänge passt (basierend auf dem Video, das du bei Twitter hochgeladen hast). Liegt es vielleicht an der Dateigröße? Was kommt denn als Fehlermeldung?

2/2 — SPIEGEL further reports that prior to the 30+5 deal, Germany was in talks with Spain, Greece and Turkey about a possible delivery of MIM-104 Patriot fire units and missiles to Ukraine, without much success.

1/2 — SPIEGEL reports that some nations that had originally committed to providing 30 PAC-3 missiles to #Ukraine have withdrawn their pledges. Ukrainian officials assume that at least the five PAC-3 missiles offered by Germany will be delivered. However, nothing has been officially confirmed.

Glad! Removed it for the current website because it was really too intense, but really missed it, so I had to do something about it.

3/3 — I also laid the groundwork for an optional and completely free membership, which would offer you a more personalized experience on the homepage based on your reading interests and the ability to bookmark articles directly within the website.

Thanks for your attention! Feedback is welcome.

2/3 — Mainly, it's a bit less demanding on mobile devices, offers a better balanced dark and light mode to improve the reading experience and an improved transition between English and German language articles.

1/3 — I would like to inform you that I am currently migrating my website to another provider, and therefore there may be occasional downtime until tomorrow morning. On a positive note, once the work is complete, the news site will be online with a new design as shown!

The German government has financed and delivered 10 Volkswagen Amarok pickups and 3 Volkswagen Crafter vans to Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways), a state-owned railway company in #Ukraine, to support the company in responding rapidly after Russian shelling.

The local police force in the German city of Bonn is donating two urgently needed Ford S-Max police vehicles to its Ukrainian twin city of Kherson. The vehicles were handed over at the end of February and will be delivered to their new workplace in #Ukraine shortly.

Now think about where the Patriots came from (5 alone from Germany!) and how many they got. Now think about how many countries operate SAMP/T and from these countries, in four years of war, how many were given to Ukraine? Again, never ever 20 SAMP/T in Ukraine.

Ukraine will never operate that many SAMP/T fire units. Would be a surprise to me if they even get 10.

Correct.

In very limited capacity, they can intercept short-range ballistic missiles. Upgrade? You are probably talking about IRIS-T SLX. This is currently not an option for Ukraine and also just slightly improves ballistic missile interception capability AFAIK.

Im not aware of any total losses, but the Russians managed to damage some pieces of equipment yes.

3/3 — I cut the video down to only show the interesting bits and plan to release a full English translation of the entire 5+ minute long video ASAP on my social media channels.

2/3 — So far, Germany has delivered 9 IRIS-T SLM fire units including 27 IRIS-T SLM launchers and 18 IRIS-T SLS launchers to #Ukraine, with another 3 to 4 IRIS-T SLM fire units expected to be delivered throughout the year.

1/3 — The 223rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment has shared a new video which features longer and partly very detailed shots of IRIS-T SLM/SLS launchers, the TRML-4D air surveillance radar and the TOC of their IRIS-T SLM fire unit. It also includes several interceptor launches.

We finally got some new images of a Leopard 2A6 MBT in service with the 21st Mechanized Brigade. Germany has directly donated 18 of them to #Ukraine and contributed to the donation of an additional 3 from Portuguese stocks. In some images, you can also see a Swedish-donated Stridsvagn 122.

While the US & Israel are now carrying out military strikes on Iran, which is responding with military strikes of its own, I have one request for you readers & journalists. Don't forget #Ukraine. The past has taught us that Putin will take advantage of this & that attention can shift all too easily.

2/2 — Germany intends to purchase significant amounts as soon as regulatory challenges on the part of Ukraine and the EU have been resolved.

1/2 — The German-Ukrainian association @ua-de.info recently collaborated with the association Meerbusch Hilft e.V. to send nearly 9 tonnes of aid supplies worth €122,000 to #Ukraine.

Based on the recent delivery of 20 high-power emergency generators to Mykolaiv and the surrounding region financed by the German government, I updated my infographic on carried out equipment deliveries related to the energy crisis in #Ukraine since December 2025.
