There's also ring trades where the us donates surplus gear to European countries to get them to donate hardware to Ukraine - somewhat inflating tallies. Greece got several c-130s in expectation that they would donate 152mm ammunition.
- KingOfCoders 3y agoYes, and Germany has ring-traded a lot of military equipment, e.g. several dozens of Leopard 2 tanks. Sure about the 152mm? Not 155mm?
- Arrath 3y ago> Sure about the 152mm? Not 155mm? I'd have to double check but its quite likely. 152mm being the popular Soviet/WP large artillery caliber which Ukraine no doubt has (or had, at the beginning) a lot of legacy Soviet-era heavy artillery.
- KingOfCoders 3y agoDid some searching, didn't find anything. The only thing I could find about Greece is Germany giving 40 Marder APCs to Greece so Greece could give 40 BMP-1 to Ukraine.
