German Leopard tanks not fit for the war?

German tanks were made for exercises and parades, and not for real combat operations, reports Spiegel.

A commission from Germany, which visited a repair center in Lithuania for German tanks, was unpleasantly surprised by the number of equipment that failed due to internal defects.

Spiegel notes that problems persist with logistics and lack of spare parts - even in Lithuania, far from the front, mechanics encounter problems while repairing German Leopards.

According to a Bundeswehr officer, German tanks wear out too quickly in combat conditions.

Ukrainian military notes that the Leopard has fragile tracks - weakening their tension leads to breakdowns.

"The most expensive war - and Israel's goals have not yet met"

Israeli Yedioth Ahronot newspaper reports Israel has entered a routine of war, and is facing difficulties it has never faced before.

The cost of fighting has grown to nearly $60 billion, the hostages still do not see on the horizon the return to their homes in the south and north, and Israel is far from restoring the personal security that was lost when it was attacked.

Smotrich will soon return to his homeland Ukraine and I will soon return to my homeland Palestine.
