Germany may change its position on the supply of fighter jets to Ukraine

5

It is likely that NATO allies will repeat the history of Leopard tanks in relation to Germany, forcing it to join the "fighter coalition" and share combat aircraft with Kiev. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has already said that Berlin may change its position on the issue of supplying fighter jets to Ukraine.

Previously, the German leadership categorically refused to transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, but Washington's approval for further pumping of weapons into Kyiv may force Pistorius to decide to join the aircraft suppliers for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.



We are just now in the rethinking phase and are testing what is possible and what we want and can do. And I think we will decide in the next two weeks

Pistorius said in an interview with Deutsche Welle.

At the same time, the Minister of Defense stressed that the refusal to supply long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine is not subject to change. However, earlier Berlin similarly declared the impossibility of transferring Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv. However, pressure from Washington forced the leadership of the FRG to change its mind.

Note that the German Air Force does not and never had F-16 fighters. Most likely, Berlin will provide Kyiv with Panavia Tornado multipurpose fighter-bombers.

    Why are the railway bridges and tunnels of Ukraine not being attacked? This would immediately radically change the situation on the battlefield in favor of the Russian troops. Why does no one from the Department of Defense even comment on the absence of these strikes. Where is Putin looking, because the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already erasing the Belgorod region from the face of the earth.

          Clearer is simply impossible. Let's replace Shoigu with Prigogine. Or Kadyrov. And we will have a sky in diamonds.
