Basically I am not writing about the political aspects of the war on Ukraine, but present I am making an exception, due to the fact that the issue is highly interesting and about military aspects.
TASS reports: “The high-ranking Bundeswehr officers talked about the anticipation of attacking the Crimean Bridge, including the Taurus maneuvering rockets, is the consequence of a recording of a conversation published by RT tv channel editor Margarita Simonian. According to Simonian, the conversation took place on 19 February between the German Air Force Inspector Ingo Gerhartz, head of operations and exercises department Frank Graefe, and staff of Fenske and Frostedte Air Operations Center".
Indeed, they published the Russians and the conversation and the transcript. There's a diplomatic scandal going on. Of course, in the face of the war, including information, it may be a Russian fake, but present all major news channels in Russia service as news of the day.
The fresh refusal of Chancellor Scholz to hand over the Taurus maneuvering rockets to Ukraine is imposed. The Chancellor stated that this would require the aid of soldiers on site, citing the approach of Britain and France having their own systems. Scholz assessed, that following Britain would make Germany a “partaker of war”.
“This is simply a long-range weapon. What the British and the French do to control the flight of rockets to the mark cannot be done in Germany. And anyone who has always dealt with this strategy knows that," explains Scholz. He added that he was “concerned about the imbalance” between what he truly needed from Kiev and discussions on the supply of Taurus missiles.
After this statement, scandal broke out due to the fact that the German Chancellor thus revealed that there are military specialists from France and the UK in Ukraine and they are the ones who operate the Storm Shadow and SCAPP-EG maneuvering rockets, which Ukrainian Air Force airmen are striking targets in Russia's controlled area, including Crimea.
This caused a wave of outrage in the lobbying circles on the issue of military aid to Ukraine. erstwhile president of the Defence Committee of the British home of Commons Tobias Ellwood, stated: “Scholz’s message was a gross misuse of intelligence, deliberately utilized to divert attention from Germany’s reluctance to arm Ukraine with its own long-range rocket system. This will undoubtedly be utilized by Russia."
Now, it is not by chance that the Russian side has released the recorded German military footage today. In the background, the French paper “Le Monde” says that France is considering sending soldiers of peculiar forces of France to Ukraine. More specifically, the stakes increase and the war on Ukraine escalates.
