They are nice but when Germany announced "66 APCs" I was hoping for our Fuchs 1 APCs which would probably be better (and the older models are able to swim which might be useful as well for Ukraine). Well, still nice vehicles I guess.

Germany's minister of defense Pistorius was in USA also to talk about further support for Ukraine. Let's hope their result will be also about "we send long range missiles" like when they agreed to send Leopards and Abrams. Like Ryuu said, Storm Shadow alone won't be enough as  long range weapons because UK obviously doesn't have that many of them. 

And some Tpz Fuchs APCs to go with the Strykers and Bradleys that the US just announced while they're at it. Germany has over 900 of them but only 600 in active service and it's getting replaced by the GTK Boxer, so no need to have that many in storage anymore.

Yeah I mentioned that some weeks ago. And now it would be even better for Ukraine to have them because of  their ability to swim with Russia doing more and more shit with water reservoirs (destroying them to flood areas or even building new ones at specific places to hold Ukrainians back). Not really sure why we send Ukraine Marder, Gepard, Leopard and whatever but not those.
