According to the publication, the Minister of Defense of Germany Christina Lambrecht did not tell the Ukrainian authorities that our country will have to order Gepard from the arms company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW). The Ukrainian government has been told that the anti-aircraft self-propelled guns will be supplied directly by the German government.
“, And the federal government only gives permission for it. As of May 6, there was no exact date when Kyiv will be given Gepard, Welt writes, citing the response of the German Ministry of Defense.
KMW also interpreted the agreements between Germany and Ukraine in a different way: they said that the installations needed to be repaired. The company explained in a comment to the NYT that this process has not yet begun, as KMW was waiting for confirmation of supplies from the German government.
