As I just posted in the
FB Patch Thread along comes this in the news a few minutes ago
how timely as it refers to that particular Post concerning Hungry. Hungry is asserting that Ukraine's latest counter Drone strikes against Russia is "
An attack on our sovereignty."

Being about
700 miles from the front lines, I think
Mordovia, Romania, Baltic States and
Finland have a lot more to worry about.
If I were Hungry, I'd be
quiet and sitting on my hands if you wanted that German equipment. Why?
Because Germany has of this writing passed its
largest Defense and Infrastructure Bill since WWII.
They just might decide to keep those
LEOPARD 2A8HU tanks for themselves as it won't take much to upgrade them to German
BUNDESWEHR Specs.
They do have about 4 or 5 other
prospective customers for them as well.
This bill will be a
GREAT help to the Ukraine...
"It is also an important moment for
Ukraine. The defence plans approved today by the Bundestag also allow spending on aid for states "
attacked in violation of international law" to be exempt from the debt brake."
Maybe they will get them to "
battle test" the export version.
Germany is certainly holding all the cards while
Hungry might only be holding a "pair".

Verification of passage of the bill...
