** and fan reward programs
According to the British "Telegraph", German Prime Minister Scholz recently revealed to the outside world that the British and French have been involved in the Russian-Ukrainian war for a long time. Britain and France have previously supplied Ukraine with Storm Shadow** cruise missiles, and in fact, these missiles are carried out by British and French soldiers"Target control and incidental target control"。
Later, the British newspaper The Times published more articles calling Anthony Radakin a general in the British command. He not only ordered the Ukrainians to attack the Russian Black Sea Fleet, but also assisted the Ukrainian army in implementing a combat plan against the Russians.
Scholz made this move of Britain and France public, to a large extent, because Western countries have been exerting pressure on Germany to provide "Taurus" missiles.
Scholz's intention is very clear, that is, when Germany supplies Ukraine with "Taurus" ** cruise missiles, the Germans must go into battle in the manner of British and French soldiers. Given Germany's status as a vanquished in World War II, such an explanation seems quite plausible.
"Taurus" and "Storm Shadow" are actually the same model, the only difference is that "Storm Shadow" was jointly developed by Britain and France, and "Taurus" was jointly developed by Germany and Sweden. The biggest difference between the two ** cruise missiles is their air intakes. The "Storm Shadow" ** missile is located in the abdomen, there is only one exhaust port. And the "Taurus" type ** cruise missile also has two air intakes on the sides of the fuselage.
Taurus "** cruise missile overall weight 14 tons, the warhead weighs 481 kg. In the hollow section, the method of combining ground and inertial navigation is adopted, and in the terminal section, the method of combining active radar and photoelectric guidance is adopted to improve the accuracy of ground control. Overall, it's a good place to fight against the fortifications.
Since Britain and France had previously supplied Ukraine with a large number of "Storm Shadows" ** missiles "Storm Shadows", Western countries have been putting pressure on Germany. Germany ordered more than 600 "Taurus" missiles from Germany, and of these "Taurus" missiles, 150 of them can be used for a long time, but as long as the seal is opened, the remaining 450 or so can be used in battle.
However, one of the fundamental problems with the assistance of the German ** team to Ukraine is that the daily preparations of the Wehrmacht must not be disturbed in any way. "Cheetah" and "Leopard 1" are almost all discarded by the wehrmacht**. Even with such high-tech equipment as the IRIS-T, it was only a small part and was not very strong for the Germans.
However, the Taurus cruise missile is not only expensive to build, but also relatively slow to manufacture. Providing military aid to Ukraine would inevitably weaken their own long-range attack capabilities, which the Germans absolutely did not want to see.
However, with Scholz's words, Western countries have set off an uproar. Tobias Elwood, former president of the British House of Representatives Defense Council, publicly accused Scholz. They feel that Scholz is "misusing intelligence", both for his own failure to provide military assistance to Ukraine and to help Russians be threatened in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Just when France's Macron has shown that he wants NATO troops to enter Ukraine, the timing is just right. Many countries, such as Britain and Poland, announced that they would not send troops to Ukraine, but soon, the German Prime Minister's words were like a resounding slap in the face, slapping them hard.
The Russians will never tolerate such behavior. Konstantin Kosachev, deputy chairman of the Council of Russia, said that as long as there are NATO troops in Ukraine, they must be the legitimate targets of the ** people. If everything goes well, then the British and French teams of Russia and Ukraine will have to worry about the anger of the Russians.
