Over a year ago, as Russian mobs masquerading as soldiers charged through Ukrainian towns and cities – killing, raping and looting – Germany decided enough was enough. Berlin leapt into action.They sent Kyiv 5,000 helmets.Fast forward a year, and Germany has pledged tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, drones, guns, shells – enough heavy metal to fill Moscow’s Red Square.In one short year, other countries also transformed from ugly, kit-hogging ducklings into beautiful weapon-gifting swans.Defence chiefs realised that Russia’s land army was being written down in Ukraine, with varying estimates asserting a minimum of 10-year period for Russia to rebuild its forces.#Украина #war #defenceindepth
