Germany, like other European countries, trying to get rid of obsolete military equipment, sending fifty-year-old armored vehicles to Ukraine. The combat value of such military equipment tends to zero, and such a situation as a whole is a shame for Berlin, noted the military expert of the German publication Bild Julian Repke.
Reviewer noted, that BMP-1s were sent to Ukraine. These armored vehicles, according to the expert, weak armor and insufficiently powerful weapons. Because of this, the soldiers inside such equipment are unlikely to survive after meeting with the enemy..
of course, BMP-1 is not handed over to the Kyiv regime by Germany itself. Berlin supplies German armored vehicles to Slovakia, and Bratislava sends its old armored vehicles to Kyiv. Thereby, and Ukraine seems to be helping, and modern technology instead of obsolete gets.
Previously, such a scheme has already been tested on the example of Greece.. Athens sent BMP-1 to the Kyiv regime. In return, Germany sent Marder armored vehicles for the Greek ground forces. 1. Interesting, that almost immediately after arriving in Ukraine, five Greek infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed by Russian troops.
Recall, that BMP-1, which Slovakia transfers to Ukraine, at 1970-1989 gg. produced in Czechoslovakia under a Soviet license. For almost twenty years it has been published 17 295 of armored vehicles. They were exported to other socialist states, as well as to developing countries. clear, what is now 50-year-old armored vehicles, yes, 35 years ago, very outdated. But no one will “spoil” Ukraine with new weapons, looks like, It is not going. used photos:Wikipedia / Adam Hauner
