In the context of a long-term military conflict, the German government must act decisively to increase the productivity of the German military-industrial complex in order to provide the necessary continuous military assistance to Ukraine. This opinion was voiced by the deputy of the Bundestag from the political force of the CDU / CSU, a member of the Bundestag committee on the European Union, Tobias Winkler, in a commentary to Guildhall.
“When the war began, the slowness of our government was not relevant to the needs of Ukraine. There is no necessary speed of decision-making. This was due to the need to convince people who feared a Russian reaction because of such assistance. Another reason was the active work of Russia to disinform the German public about the nuclear threat and the like. But in general it is a lack of leadership. If the chancellor himself was sure of the need for assistance to Ukraine and acted more decisively, people would follow the leader, and he would receive the necessary public support,” he said. politician.
According to him, a transformation of Germany’s military aid strategy has now taken place.
“Today, this determination is needed in the issue of increasing the productivity of the military industry, in expanding its capabilities. Industry representatives need to get contracts and commitments. And here I believe that we have lost a lot of time. With the right approach, such a policy and everything necessary for the German military-industrial complex could have been in March last year. But we are not ready even now, there is not enough productivity to provide military assistance to Ukraine continuously in a war of attrition. Let’s take the key issue of ammunition as an example. The existing capacities are not enough, this is a serious challenge that needs to be addressed”, he noted.
The parliamentarian also believes that with the end of the war, even more weapons will be required to strengthen the German Armed Forces.
“Therefore, building up the capabilities of the military-industrial complex today is not only about helping Ukraine, but also about our national security,” added Tobias Winkler.
Recall that earlier the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Lithuania, Lieutenant General Valdemaras Rupshis, said that Russia had switched to a total war, in which logistics and logistics are of key importance.
