German govt blocks export of Rheinmetall's Active Defense System (ADS) to Turkey

[Tiger Awan]

There has been a forbidden decision from Germany about Turkey. The company that sold tank defense systems to Turkey was banned. This is a development that will directly affect the Leopard tanks that Turkey uses in their fight against EEŞ.


The company's CEO, Armin Papperger, made the announcement. "The German government does not approve export contracts to Turkey," Papperger said.

He said that Turkey wanted to buy defense systems for the "Leopard" tanks damaged in the fight with EEŞ and that they maintained the contacts in this regard.

German media recently reported in the news that Germany did not approve the sale of light weapons to Turkey.

Israel is accepted ! EX TR- FM Davutoglu's " blind and perverted FETÖ Policy " ruined our relations.
I was always welcome in Israel as Israelis are welcome in Turkey !

Rheinmetall claims its better than Trophy btw and is pushing the German government for upgrades of the German tank inventory.

NATO is unraveling.

Aselsan can upgrade them all to Turkish NG standart.

NG upgrade uses armour kits from Rheinmetall as well.

The German gov't hasn't decided anything yet. Until now only the export of some easily replaceable munition to Turkey was blocked. I guess this is the understated German way of threatening a partner. In my opinion they will approve the export of ADS systems but it will take time due to the election in Germany.

I bet that calling them nazis every 5 minutes didn t help either.
