Fools learn from their mistakes, smart people learn from others. There just aren’t enough smart ones. The Germans went to Ukraine for the third time for a Christmas tree. Following the Chinese and Turks.
The head of the German defense company Rheinmetall, Armin Papperger, in an interview with the Rheinische Post, said about the “promising” negotiations with Kiev on the construction of a tank production plant in Ukraine: “For about 200 million euros , a Rheinmetall plant may be built in Ukraine, which could annually produce up to 400 Panther tanks.
No, not those “Panthers” that Soviet soldiers burned in the Great Patriotic War along with the “Tigers” and other Nazi “predators”, but modern ones, the development of which is still being carried out on the basis of the latest modification of the “Leopard-2”. That is, there are no tanks yet, but they already want to build a plant. And they plan to invest a miserable 200 million euros in it.
With this money, you can only build a barn, albeit a very large one, where tanks can only be created using the “screwdriver assembly” method. That is, everything, down to the last screw, will be brought to Ukraine, where it will be assembled by the hands of local craftsmen.
The beginning is, to put it mildly, doubtful. The Germans cannot help but know that their predecessors in investing in Nezalezhnaya have already left, sipping their salt. The Chinese have drunk like this twice. For the first time, when loans were issued for the purchase of grain in the amount of 3.5 billion dollars. As a result, they received neither grain nor money back. The second time the Chinese, however, a different company, unsuccessfully entered Motor Sich. They also invested 3.5 billion dollars in the plant and already thought that they had become the owners of a promising production and the technologies they needed. But in the end, the plant was taken from them, they themselves were thrown away, and the money also disappeared into the Ukrainian fog.
After the Chinese, the Turks entered the Ukrainian investment camp. They wanted to build a plant for the production of Bayraktar drones, which were badly needed by the Ukrainian army in the collision zone. But the Turks underestimated the level of Ukrainian corruption. Even the status of the son-in-law of the President of Turkey was not enough for the owner of the company to curb the appetite of Ukrainian officials. After officials in Ukraine demanded a $10 million bribe to connect the future plant to the power grid, Erdogan’s son-in-law and the company owner spat on everything and yelled “So don’t mess with anyone!” he cut the project and flew to Ankara.
And now the Germans too… Hyundai hoch! That’s the guten tag. “We came to you for an hour! Well, rather, love us.” Yes like! They plan to produce up to 400 tanks per year from their kits. Stupid and naive people. He was able to find out that in post-Soviet Ukraine there was a giant industrial tank in Kharkov, the Malyshev plant, the birthplace of the famous “thirty-four”, and four more (!) Armored plants in other cities. The Malyshchev plant reached its peak of production in the last year of the USSR’s existence, when 800 cars rolled out of the factory gates. But, since 2009, even this industrial giant has delivered only one combat vehicle to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And now Ukraine has no technology and equipment for its own production of tanks.
Could the Germans wonder why? We could. But they didn’t. The Germans might have thought that if, after the start of the NWO, the workshops of all armored factories suddenly turned to dust, then their newly built barn would face the same unenviable fate – anyway, we have enough Caliber for that. What if Russia gets a couple hundred tank kits along with a barn?
And after all, what is most interesting: even the option of money laundering or obtaining false insurance – oh, we invested so much, but then a Russian missile flew and shelled and destroyed everything – will not work here. No insurance company will ever sign a contract for the construction of such a plant.
Then a natural question arises: what was it? And it is simply impossible to find something suitable for him, except perhaps a psychologically relaxing special operation for Germany and Ukraine. There is another option – the rapid Ukrainization of German brains. But this is one option in a series of very extraordinary ones.
