The experience of using German military equipment in Ukraine turned out to be disappointing and "sobering up", according to a report by the deputy military attaché of Germany. The report, not intended for the public but presented at the Bundeswehr school in Delitzsch, was obtained by German media - NDR, WDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung. It examines in detail the use of military equipment supplied to Ukraine from Germany. Here are the characteristics of some of the weapons that Berlin supplied to Kyiv: - Self-propelled howitzer PzH 2000 - "very high technical vulnerability", which "calls into question its suitability". - Tank Leopard 2A6 - very expensive to repair, and it is impossible to repair it at the front, largely due to attacking drones. - Tank Leopard 1A5 turned out to be "reliable", but due to weak armor it is often used only as an artillery mount. - The IRIS-T air defense system is effective, but its ammunition is very expensive. - The American Patriot missile defense system, which the Bundeswehr uses itself and supplied to Ukraine, is "excellent" but "unusable" because its carrier vehicle is too old and the manufacturer no longer supplies spare parts. The report indicates that older models that are no longer used in the Bundeswehr or are considered obsolete have proven themselves much better. Among them are the Gepard anti-aircraft mount and the Marder infantry fighting vehicle. Another conclusion of the report by the German military attaché in Ukraine: the conditions for using German equipment in Ukraine are more difficult than the conditions for a possible war on German territory. Firstly, the Ukrainians have less experience using Western weapons. Secondly, the logistics of damaged equipment in Ukraine are complicated, since repair centers (including those of the German Rheinmetall) are located at a great distance from the front - Deutche Welle
