German arms maker offers weapons to Ukraine - German government source

BERLIN (Reuters) - Ukraine has received an offer of a sizeable shipment of self-propelled howitzer weapons from a German armaments company, a German government source said on Sunday.

German weekly Welt am Sonntag had reported on Saturday that armaments manufacturer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann offered 100 howitzers, a type of artillery weapon, to Ukraine, quoting anonymous government sources in Kyiv.

"This offer exists," the German source said to Reuters, without providing further details.

The Welt am Sonntag report said that the manufacturer did not currently have the weaponry ready for delivery and so had suggested that Germany's military offer 100 of its own howitzers to Kyiv and the manufacturer would then deliver the new weapons to Germany's army once ready - likely from the second half of 2024.

1. Arms manufacturer offers weapons belonging to someone else to Ukraine?

In return, said manufacture will make new weapons to sell, at a handsome profit, to the owner of the weapons donated to UKR.

A little birdie tells me the Ukrainians still desperately need more armored personnel carriers (APC) for phase two of this insane war
