☆ An Obsolete German Tank Seeks a Second Life on Ukraine’s Front Lines

Their old diesel engines roaring, the Cold War-era battle tanks bobbed through the verdant Germany countryside as the Ukrainian commander radioed an order to his unit to fire. The gunners’ task was to aim and shoot the 105-millimeter cannon at green pop-up targets as far as 1,500 yards away. “Fifteen of 17 is a very good result,” said Lt. Col. Marco Maulbecker, who oversees the tank training, referring to the number of targets hit by the crews on the first attempt. At the time, Germany was criticized for its dithering when it came to sending German-made tanks to Ukraine. The reluctance reflected Germany’s ambivalence about taking a military leadership role in Europe after World War II, but also the burdens on a German military that was chronically underfunded.

☆ Offensive tactics and leadership rise to top of Kyiv's training wish list
  + stars: | 2023-08-17 | by ( Sabine Siebold | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
In January, Western nations pledged to send to Ukraine several dozen modern Leopard 2 tanks, a scarce asset in most armies today. Scrambling to find more heavy armour for Kyiv, they later also turned to the industry's mothballed Leopard 1 tanks. Citing reasons of operational security, Marlow declined to give a number for the Ukrainian tank crews trained and tanks delivered so far. However, he said that the training of the next Ukrainian Leopard 1 crews would start as soon as the current round of training wraps up next week. "We are strongly motivated to defend our fatherland, and this is the best remedy for fear," he said.

☆ Germany Announces Its Biggest Military Aid Package for Ukraine
  + stars: | 2023-05-13 | by ( Christopher F. Schuetze | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Germany on Saturday announced its largest weapons package yet for Ukraine, promising more tanks, armored vehicles and substantial air defense systems as a widely anticipated Ukrainian counteroffensive looms. The 2.7 billion euro package, or about $2.95 billion, amounts to roughly as much as Germany’s total military aid contribution to Ukraine since the war began and was announced as Ukrainian officials have said they are in the final stages of preparations for a counteroffensive. But Germany’s defense ministry did not specify when the new weapons would be delivered to the battlefield. “We all wish for a speedy end to this terrible war waged by Russia against the Ukrainian people, which is in violation of international law,” Germany’s defense minister, Boris Pistorius, said in a statement on Saturday. Germany’s chancellor, Olaf Scholz, spent months equivocating over a decision to send and allow other countries to export German-made battle tanks that was ultimately made in January, with a package that eventually included 18 Leopard 2A6 tanks.
