Shortages leave German troops armed with broomsticks for Nato war games...
Berlin: German soldiers used broomsticks painted black instead of guns during a joint Nato exercise last year because of severe equipment shortages.

The incident happened during exercises for Nato’s rapid response force, formed in reaction to the Ukraine crisis.

Soldiers from Germany’s Panzergrenadierbataillon 371 took part in the exercises last September in Norway. The troops were missing 31 per cent of their MG3 general-purpose machineguns, 41 per cent of their P8 handguns and more than 75 per cent of their Lucie night-vision devices. They resorted to painting broomsticks black and attaching them to Boxer armoured vehicles to simulate gun barrels.

I remember the Canadians I dealt with during REFORGER 30 years ago. Very professional soldiers.

When the Russian tanks come, they can charge them on horseback with their broomsticks.

 Quoting: topbanker


yes, I read yesterday the news but was very lazy so didn't make the thread.

Add that "performance"to that of the NATO leader, the US, recently, their USS Donald Cook totally paralyzed for an hour by Russian MIG with that device Khibiny, and we will be in a lot of nasty surprises if the Russian attack Romania and Estonia as they promised.

For sure nobody will come in our help, we will be left to manage by ourselves, as happened in every important moment of our history, with every treaty signed between Romania and allies, the allies never come into our help when were attacked. But they invented some excuse not to accomplish their part of deals.

Our people could thank to our corrupt politicians which in order to preserve their privileges and power, sold us to NATO, we are just pawns for them. They will use us and then throw away!
