Germany to provide Ukraine with 2 more Mars II MLRS, 50 Dingo armored vehicles

This was stated by German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht, BILD writes. 

According to the publication, the supply of these armored vehicles from the end of July was considered as an alternative to the transfer of Fuchs armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. The Dingo is an armored and optionally armed wheeled vehicle used for patrol and reconnaissance. The German army has more than 500 Dingo vehicles in various modifications.

In addition, the Germans will hand over to Ukraine 2 more MARS rocket launchers and about 200 missiles. Crew training will continue in Germany and will begin in September.

During her speech at the Bundeswehr conference, Lambrecht praised the successes of the Ukrainian army during the counteroffensive. The newspaper suggests that this operation of Ukraine's Armed Forces was a key factor in the Germans' decision to hand over armored vehicles, because only a few weeks ago Germany was against it.

At the same time, Lambrecht ruled out the possibility of supplying Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine. She stated that the Ministry of Defense is in the final stages of a direct agreement with Greece, which will receive 40 Marders and transfer its 40 Soviet BMP-1s to Ukraine.
