This statement was made by the German edition of Der Spiegel.
“Marder armored personnel carriers will soon be deployed against Russian tanks.
German infantry fighting vehicles will do what they were conceived and created for: to fight against Soviet-made tanks.
During the Cold War, such a scenario was a nightmare for NATO.
It is noted that Marder BMPs were previously used only as part of exercises, with the exception of missions in the self-proclaimed Kosovo and Afghanistan.
In this regard, a well-established supply of spare parts and the availability of reserve vehicles will be of great importance, which can create some problems for Kyiv.
Earlier, former French Secretary of State Pierre Lelouch said that the West is exacerbating the conflict by supplying weapons to Ukraine.
The head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, in turn, said that the weapons transferred by the West should help Ukraine on the battlefield today.
