RT @deaidua: So it seems like the exact details will be worked out during today's visit by the German Minister of Defence Pistorius to his US colleague, but it's already safe to say that Germany will finance Patriot missiles, likely at least one Patriot fire unit for #Ukraine, or has/will agree to hand over another one (would be the fourth) from Bundeswehr stocks.
According to a spokesperson for the German Ministry of Defence, we can expect a statement from the German Minister of Defence on the matter at around 9:45 pm, 10 pm UTC+2 (in ~4 hours). I will of course report on this in detail.

RT @deaidua: HENSOLDT has been contracted to deliver an undisclosed number of TRML-4D air surveillance radars and SPEXER 2000 3D MkIII short-range radars worth more than €340 million to #Ukraine. Although not officially confirmed, it's very likely that Germany is paying the bills.

RT @deaidua: Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany (@Makeiev) reportedly told Ukrainian journalists today that the eighth German-financed IRIS-T SLM fire unit is on its way to #Ukraine. I was not yet able to independently confirm this statement.
If he actually made this statement, this would mean that two of the four IRIS-T SLM fire units pledged for this year would have been delivered to Ukraine by the end of July, as the first one was delivered at the end of May 2025 or beginning of June 2025 to the 540th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade (Image).

RT @deaidua: Upon inquiry, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Embassy in Germany told me that the 8th IRIS-T SLM fire unit financed by Germany will indeed arrive in #Ukraine in the near future. However, she didn't confirm that the fire unit is currently being delivered.
Nevertheless, the delivery schedule agreed upon between the “German partners” and the Ukrainian side can and will be honoured, according to the spokesperson. https://twitter.com/deaidua/status/1948707847170060504#m

RT @deaidua: BREAKING: The German MoD has just announced that it will deliver two additional Patriot fire units from Bundeswehr stocks to #Ukraine. The first launchers will be handed over in the following days, while the remaining system components will be handed over the next two to three months.
This means that the German government plans to have delivered five Patriot fire units from its own army to Ukraine by the end of the year — more than any other country in the world.

RT @deaidua: Major General Maik Keller, Deputy Commander of the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine, said in an interview with the FAZ that a few months ago Russia managed to severely damage a MIM-104 Patriot radar unit in #Ukraine.
It was brought back to Germany, where the industry determined that it’s a total loss which can't be repaired. Since it would take a few years to replace it with a newly bought and build radar, experts from the German Luftwaffe tried to repair it themselves and actually managed to accomplish it by spending 16 hours a day from Monday to Saturday.
In July, the radar unit was delivered back to Ukraine and is already operational. Just last week, the first Russian target was intercepted by utilizing this very radar unit.

RT @deaidua: Let me bring you up to date on German funding for procurements through the PURL programme to assist #Ukraine. All German communications from the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs refer to co-financing, which would mean that Germany is not financing the full package valued at $500 million.
All Ukrainian communications and NATO communications refer to Germany financing an entire $500 million package. Since there is a big difference between co-financing and fully financing, I asked NATO and the German MoD which version is true. NATO doubled down on their information, while the German MoD hasn't responded yet.
It currently looks like Germany is funding a full $500 million package alone, but I currently don't have confirmation from both sides.

RT @deaidua: A few updates on the deliveries of 155mm shells to Ukraine and the establishment of a 155mm production factory in #Ukraine by Rheinmetall thanks to an DW interview with Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger.
👉 The entire 2025 production output (25,000 155mm shells) of the newly opened production facility in Unterlüß will be delivered to Ukraine.
👉 He thinks they will be able to deliver 100,000 155mm shells from the Unterlüß factory to Ukraine in 2026 with further growth in the later years.
👉 The delays in the construction of the 155mm factory in Ukraine are even more serious than previously thought (I reported on this at the beginning of August).
👉 According to earlier statements by Papperger (no exact details mentioned), the plan was to start production in 2026. Now, in the interview with DW, he states that they do not even have a concept for the construction of the complete facility yet and that the ammunition factory is not...
