 German Defense Ministry admitted that the Bundeswehr will not be able to protect the country. The Bundeswehr is not able to protect Germany in the event of martial law. The country's Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius admitted, at the Congress of the Faction of the Social Democratic Party of Germany in the Bundestag, we do not have armed forces that are defensive. That is, they can protect against an offensive, brutally waged war, he said. According to Pistorius, Germany needs to invest more in modernization of the army as the country, among other things, has obligations towards other NATO members. The ministers stressed that the Bundeswehr must fill in the gaps that have arisen over the past 30 years. Among the shortcomings in the army, Pistorius listed the lack of personnel, equipment and weapons, which, after deliveries to Ukraine, must be replenished. And no matter how cynical it may sound to some, German weapons are now saving lives in Ukraine, he added. Last week, the German Ministry of Defense announced that, in addition to the 14 Leopard 2A6 tanks that are being prepared for shipment, they will supply Ukraine with four more vehicles of this model. The CEO of the German engineering concern Rheinmetall AG, Armin Papelger, said that Germany had delivered two air defense systems to Ukraine, Skynex and Skyranger, leaving its capital unprotected from air attacks. He also noted that in the event of a conflict on the territory of Germany, the country would not be able to defend itself without the help of the United States, since it lacks everything in all defense areas. At the same time, according to him, Kiev will not have enough tank supply by the West to capture the previously lost territories.
