The German arsenal of main battle tanks, which is barely around three hundred Leopard 2, will be further reduced with the announced deployment of units in Ukraine. This comes at a time when these weapons are again arousing the interest of Western arms procurement authorities.
Local ground systems company Rheinmetall revealed its ability to renew these arsenals a few months ago, amid the war in Ukraine, and has recently offered more details.

They certainly are totally clueless on the history of the region.

But it’s preparing airfields across the country in anticipation of deliveries of multi-role jets like U.S.-made F-16 Fighting Falcons or French Mirage or Rafale fighters.
To integrate jets like those into the Ukrainian Air Force would not only require training for pilots and maintainers, but it would also require making sure more modern jets have safe places to operate from.
