The German defense industry is offering Marder IFV and PzH-2000 ACS to Ukraine
Rheinmetall, a German manufacturer of military equipment, offers Ukraine to purchase Marder infantry fighting vehicles.
BILD informs about it.
According to the journalists, the concern intends to build 35 units of equipment for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces by the end of 2022.
Another German arms manufacturer, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, is offering Ukraine an agreement to supply 100 self-propelled 155-mm PzH 2000 ACS.
Welt am Sonntag informs about this.
The offer was submitted to the German government for approval.
T he first new ACS might be delivered no earlier than in 30 months. That is, the first deliveries should be expected in the second half of 2024. And the entire contract will be fulfilled in 2027.

There is supposedly a good chance of Greece receiving 100s of Marders (among a proposal for other things like setting up a line for Leo2 in Greece, but that's another topic). I hope this offering doesn't negatively affect that.
The PZh-2000 sale is super weird though. Time will tell. |
I kept hearing about a Marder sale since I was in high school. It starts to become a meme by now.
