One week before the start of the new year, the German government has once again made its arms deliveries to Ukraine from the previous week public on the website<\/a> intended for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like last week, this is a somewhat larger and powerful delivery \u2014 you could even call it a German Christmas present!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last pledged Gepard SPAAGs were delivered. Probably the most effective and most famous weapon system used against drones in Ukraine. With the latest delivery of 3 Gepard SPAAGs, the Ukrainian army now commands a total of 52 Gepard SPAAGs \u2014 all donated by Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The German predator was accompanied by over 30,000 rounds of ammunition. The ammunition supplied was freshly produced APDS-T ammunition from Rheinmetall, which is particularly suitable for use against hardened targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, the deliveries of the last week seemed to focus on ammunition. In addition to the already mentioned Gepard SPAAG ammunition, new ammunition for the Leopard 2 MBTs was also delivered. Furthermore, 2,500 155 mm artillery shells and over 25,500 rounds of 40 mm ammunition for automatic grenade launchers were supplied to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the expected delivery of logistical vehicles such as the 2 HX81 tank transporters or the 8 Mercedes-Benz Zetros, two WiSENT 1 MC armoured mine clearing tanks were also delivered again after a somewhat longer period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n

The WiSENT 1 MC gets produced by FFG, is based on a Leopard 1 chassis and is equipped with a mine plough from Pearson Engineering. Germany has so far delivered 14 WiSENT 1 MCs to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delivery of two further AMPS<\/a> should also be of interest. The Airborne Missile Protection System, which is being developed by HENSOLDT, is a flexible, stand-alone, off-the-shelf self-protection suite for helicopters and \ufb01xed-wing aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany will supply Ukraine with a total of 16 AMPS for use in helicopters. The following is a detailed list of all military aid delivered by Germany in the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
