Well, when else would they be used? The other case I see would be Russia winning in Ukraine and blitzing onward, so why not stop them in Ukraine.
Yes. Honestly... The plan is to oblige to the NATO 2% requirement, which means that we will need to invest in war production instead of just clinging to old stocks. So even as bad as it is to increase a budget for something that we don't need, it's still better for Denmark to restart the production and give away the old stock. Denmark has reopened an old ammunition factory (which had been an eyesore for 50 years) and also collaborating with Germany on the bigger calibers.
Basically, Denmark is investing domestically, in EU and in Ukraine, and it's all according to agreement with NATO. (Regardless of Trump's stupid speech the other day, this needs to be done.)
It's like donating old bread before it goes bad. Let's hope the Ukrainians can find a Russian head to use it at, because we don't need it now, but we're obliged to keep production up.
We already gave Ukraine our bran spanking new artillery a year ago, we had just received, that was supposed to replace the old ones.
So we are not just donating old stuff.
Too Good to go, but with weaponry.
Yup. Fire it off and hope it hits someone in the head. The closer to Vladimir Putin, the better. I feel sorry for the Russia cannon fooder, but we didn't ask them to go there, and well, weapons are built to kill, so that's what they're gonna do.
Does not compute
It's a nudge at them being like nazis.
It's what they were planning on day 1 of the 3 day SMO. Fortunately it did not go to their plan.
The blitz was German originally but it’s just become the term for a rapid combined arms strike on an unsuspecting or unprepared target
