According to BILD, Germany has transferred only 26 MRAP units out of 400 to Ukraine.
Germany is delaying the delivery of MRAP armored vehicles to Ukraine – to date, only 6% of the promised quantity has been delivered.
As BILD writes , Germany promised to transfer up to 400 heavy wheeled armored vehicles MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) with enhanced anti-mine protection to Ukraine by the end of the year, but the deadlines were constantly postponed. The vehicles are manufactured by the German company Flensburger Fahrzeugbau GmbH (FFG) with funding from the German budget in the amount of 315 million euros.
“To date, according to BILD, Germany has transferred only 26 MRAP units to Ukraine, or 6.5% of the total order. Now the German Defense Ministry assumes that the remaining vehicles will be delivered in 2025,” the publication writes.
At the same time, in response to a request from BILD, the German military indicated that the reason for the delay in deliveries was “the untimely approval of the US for the export of automobile components” and “the sole responsibility of FFG.”
Armored vehicle deliveries to Ukraine
Earlier in April, BILD reported that Germany was disrupting deliveries of armored vehicles to Ukraine . It was noted then that the manufacturer FFG received spare parts for MRAPs from the US and only assembled them in Germany. The company had “license restrictions for exports from the US to Germany” as well as problems with certification of mine protection.
On November 20, Germany announced a new aid package for Ukraine , which will include, in particular, 47 mine-resistant armored vehicles (MRAP).

I’m tired of being seen as an anti-German Prellbock, but Germany’s leaders keep fucking Ukraine and the German people alike.
Oh FFS.
It is vital that Merz becomes Chancellor. We might see something better than from the country that really REALLY owes Ukraine BIG TIME.
Seeing that Scholz has never been an honorable man, who has a dubious past in Hamburg, and has had a disastrous coalition in Berlin due to his incompetence, it doesn’t surprise me that he doesn’t keep any promises, even if the lives of millions of innocent people depend on it.
