"Catastrophic opening": Germany in case of attack will last only two days - the media

The head of the CDU faction in the German Parliament acknowledges that the German Army buys weapons for as long as it did in peacetime 20 years ago. Germany has transferred a certain amount of military equipment to Ukraine and now has too few weapons in case of external aggression. German politicians criticize the current Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius for the current situation and require the allocation of funds for replenishment of the Arsenals of the Armed Forces of Germany (Bundeswehr).

Rheinische Post has written about German defense problems. The publication was cited by the words of the German politician-the head of the faction of the Christian-Democratic Union (CDU) in the Bundestag of Johann Vadeful. Vadeful stated that the Bundesver lost a lot, sharing his weapons with Ukraine. He admitted that it had to be done because "it is leading our European struggle for freedom, and it is normal and necessary.

" However, now there is a problem with the possibility of Germany to withstand a potential attack from the outside. According to Vadeful, the defense capability of the Bundesver will be enough for two days. He stressed that they should think about it in the current government, but for some reason they did not think. "Parts can last a maximum of two days in battle. And this is a general catastrophic opening. The German politician noted a few problems.

In his opinion, purchases for the German Army are underway as slowly as 20 years ago. In addition, the structure of military units is such that it is optimal only for international missions in Afghanistan. He also doubts that the Bundesver will be able to prepare a quality NATO defense unit by 2025. The current Defense Minister Boris Pistorius should demand an additional 10 billion euros for the needs of the army, said the head of the CDU faction.

However, this is not done, and further opportunities for increasing funding in countries will be even smaller. "And it was a serious political mistake that has a double impact now, since the budget planning opportunities in the coming years would of course become more narrower," Vadeful said. At the same time, the threats: war in Ukraine, war in the Middle East, the situation in North Africa. It should be noted that the other day Ukraine was visited by Germany Minister Boris Pistorius.

During his visit, a new military assistance package was allocated to Ukraine - in particular, to send the next MARDER BMP party. At the same time, it became known that in the winter of Germany will provide another Patriot air defense installation. Bloomberg also wrote that Germany could double the assistance to Ukraine - they will be in accordance with the plan of Federal Chancellor Olaf Solz.
