Sweden have apparently sent a batch of these over to Ukraine.

From parking up, firing 3 rounds to driving off in 74 seconds. before the 1st shell has even landed.

Neat bit of kit

According to sky news zelensky has invited the German chancellor to Kiev on May the 9th to coincide with Russias "victory day", can anyone explain to me what the point of that is, seems purely a "wind up the enemy" type move to me, which would just feed putins rhetoric and more than likely get the backs of the Russian general public up and further strengthen putins grip on the Russian reigns

Probably testing the German’s allegiances given what a bunch of soft arses they’ve been so far.

Given that they rely so much on the oil and gas from that part of the world, the Russians kind of have them over the barrel

Not if you are prepared to turn the heating off and also have an economic recession. It’s about priorities.

Imagine.
Getting the backs up of the Russian public? Winding up the enemy?
Putin’s rhetoric doesn’t need any feeding from anyone.

Think of how the Ukrainians are being bombed, sorry, I mean wound up.
I wonder what 9th of May wind up parade is going to take place in Moscow.

I really don’t think any wind up is the priority of the Ukrainian people.

Great, I shall consider myself told, please accept my humblest apologies for asking what I thought was a reasonable question in a debate, I shall crawl back under my rock and let you crack on

No bother. Carry on.
