The epic with the provision of German weapons to Ukraine continues. Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised Kyiv multiple launch rocket and air defense systems, but they may not be seen in the Armed Forces of Ukraine until winter.
According to the media, arms deliveries may be delayed until November-December. It is known that we are talking exactly about months of delays.
The Iris-T system will not be ready until November

The exchange of armored vehicles between the Greeks and the Germans has stalled
Slowed down and the exchange of armored vehicles between Greece and Germany. The Germans must hand over 50 Marder BMPs to the Greeks, and Athens, respectively, deliver older BMP-1 models to Ukraine.
However, Greece can deliver its armored vehicles to Ukraine, which, moreover, is located on different islands only if when he receives ready-to-use German correspondences. According to preliminary forecasts, this could happen in autumn or even winter.
Important! Such complex schemes, the media write, amazed the manufacturer Rheinmetall, who wanted to sell Marder directly to Ukraine.

Difficulties also appeared with the transfer of the Mars II multiple launch rocket system. However, the media write, there are problems with their functioning. They also can't fire US and British ammunition, so the software will have to be changed.
