The AFU received an additional supply of heavy weapons from Berlin. Germany handed over to the Ukrainian army the previously promised MARS-II MLRS, as well as three Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled artillery units, with which Kiev is already familiar.

According to the Swiss news portal Nau.ch, this was announced by German Defense Minister Kristina Lambrecht.

We keep our word

- said the head of the German defense department.

Andrey Ermak, who heads the Office of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, also told about receiving new German equipment in his Telegram channel.

The MARS-II MLRS has already been transferred to Ukraine by our German allies

- he wrote.

Literally the day before, the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Alexey Reznikov, reported on the receipt of three Cheetah anti-aircraft installations from Germany, and before that the Germans supplied several tens of thousands of ammunition to their equipment.

Lambrecht noted that Germany will not stop at five such systems and will supply a total of 30 Cheetahs, as well as 60 thousand ammunition for them.

As for the MARS-II MLRS, they are licensed copies of the American M270 systems. This technique is capable of using several types of ammunition. Their full package is 12 units. This tracked vehicle can travel at a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
