BERLIN, November 20. /TASS/. A month later, Germany has published an updated list of weapons supplied to Kiev on its official government website, with it now including 47 MRAP armored vehicles, four Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled artillery systems with spare parts, almost 200 reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and other weaponry.

The new package also includes munitions for Marder infantry fighting vehicles, two Biber tank bridge-layers, three Wisent 1 armored mine-clearing vehicles, three mine trawls, eight Caracal assault vehicles, 20 border protection vehicles, and six M1070 Oshkosh tank transporter tractors. The new shipment also contains a TRML-4D air surveillance radar, 41,000 rounds of 155mm ammunition, 20 Vector, 12 Hornet XR, 60 Golden Eagle, 2 VT-4 Rochen, 100 RQ-35 Heidrun, and 120 Songbird reconnaissance drones, as well as 8,000 rounds of 40mm ammunition, 340 HLR 338 precision rifles with 74,000 rounds of ammunition, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition for firearms.

Three Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 75 Vector, 43 Songbird, 270 RQ-35 Heidrun UAVs, 40 drone detection systems, and 30 Gereon RCS unmanned ground vehicles are still in preparation for shipment.

Germany, the second-largest arms supplier to Ukraine after the US, has committed a total of about 28 billion euros in past and future military support to Kiev. In the 2025 budget proposal, the country allocated 4 billion euros for aid, half the amount it spent this year. However, the budget has not yet been approved by the Bundestag.

Russia has repeatedly stated that funneling weapons into Ukraine will not reduce Russia’s resolve or change the course of the special military operation.
