Chancellor Scholz has barely announced his decision to deliver Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine when the Ukrainian side is demanding fighter jets and submarines. The desire is understandable, says military expert Prof. Sönke Neitzel, but then this war would escalate to a whole new level.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz has decided: he will release the Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and deliver them together with other allies such as the United States, Spain and France. However, thanks for the tanks brought the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj the demand for fighter planes came into play. So will Germany soon be delivering Eurofighters to Ukraine? The military historian Prof. Sönke Neitzel says unequivocally: No. If Germany were to participate with Eurofighters, a new level of escalation would be reached, which all sides are trying to prevent.
