Germany will supply two more multiple rocket launchers and ammunition to Ukraine to bolster its defense, Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht announced Thursday in Berlin.
“We have decided to deliver two more MARS II multiple rocket launchers, including 200 rockets, to Ukraine,” Lambrecht told a conference of the German armed forces.
Training for Ukrainian operators is expected to start this month, he added.
In addition, Germany will also deliver 50 Dingo armored vehicles, Lambrecht said.
She also announced that a three-way exchange of armored vehicles involving Greece was nearing completion, adding that Germany will soon deliver 40 Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) to Greece which, in turn, will pass 40 of its vehicles. Soviet BMP-1 IFVs to Ukraine.
note: While Germany in recent months has sent dozens of missiles, howitzers and anti-aircraft tanks to Ukraine, the German government has so far not approved the direct transfer of Ukraine-requested Leopard main battle tanks and Marder IFVs.
