Not one to go back and forth to this wonderful video, here's the written companion to the video.

To the German offer of
BMP-1 I can assure you Germany will not give
non refurbished equipment to Ukraine if for no other reasons that it would both
embarrass and cause
criticism them.
And there are also
international legal issues that could arise. And most important it might also adversely affect their foreign weapons sales.
That being said, they wouldn't have to offer to upgrade them in any way.
That will be the thing to keep track of, if they do.
As already posted
KMW was offering from their private stock around
50-55 GEPHARPS SPAA systems, it was indicated they
would update the radar systems and
possibly the FCS as well. They of the
latest version that last served in the BUNDESWEHR.
I would not be surprised if we don't see them in country within the next
3-4 months and
6 months (We call that "hedging your bet(s)") at the outside.
And now we have this (
I hope there'll be no reprisals but...) and BUCHA also.
