That post shows the danger of social media. A random jerk venting on 2 Images without proper knowledge.
Please question yourself how old are those pictures?
They are form an newspaper article released in 2014.

What condition are the vehicles in?
Probably in a really bad one, cause they stood there without cover, stripped of weapons and all useful stuff before they were parked. The facility in Rockensußra is specialised on scrap metal recycling, so what you see are only Marder hulls.
Refurbishing them will cost more than buying new IFV's.
And finally all @Battlefront.com mentioned applies here such as logistics, training,..

They stand there in the open for at least 12 years and are more than likely in no working condition. Prone to failure and motor power is bad because the 2nd armor layer is fitted but the motors are not upgraded. Additionally the springs and suspension brake easily. Plus, Ukrainians are not trained on it, including missing spare part logistics.

Don't believe any of his trash. Julian Röpcke is just a numb nut writing for the German yellow press. He is calling himself a military expert, but all he puts out is blown up bull****, without providing any credible source.

He works for the BILD newspaper, a rag which is equivalent to the Sun in the UK. 90% of what they publish can be dismissed as sensationalist or provocative nonsense, if not outright lies/twists of the truth.

Currently a vehicle of the Bundeswehre is considered not operational if a turn signal is not working because every vehicle has to comply with the rules of the civil Road Traffic Licensing Regulation, the so called Straßenverkehrsordnung.

Believe it is a green screen if you want. You sound hell bent on it anyway so no amount of debunking is going to convince you.

"That said I suspect nuclear war within a month. If we all die doing the right thing then god bless."
And we thought the jihadists were insane.

Guys, youre all smoking somrthing super funky.
NATO getting involved is not going to happen.
It's fundamentally a defensive alliance. 
"Imposing a no-fly zone" is not the correct description of that action, instead it's - "attacking Russian air & AA forces" without provocation or military cause.
RUS needs to attack first.
If NATO attacks first  then that just makes Putin's narrative come true and he'll just go YOU SEE!? YOU SEE!? and boom he wins the narrative, will never EVER be kicked off and solidifies the victimhood/grievance bull**** as self evident fact.
Let it go, you're wasting post count, my friends.
 
 

Hey guys, you managed to lure out another long time reader only.
First of, I want to thank you for all the insights and explanations! Very informative. Currently, I am still a bit worried that MR Putin and his Gang have much bigger goals and don't hesitate to throw nukes around, but only time will tell. So far, the bundeswehr isn't ready.
In the German defense podcast "Sicherheitspod" that is released monthly by members of the European Council on Foreign Relations, the university of the bundeswehr in Munich and a German journalist specialized on defense, one guy said that of the 100 billion Euros 30-40 billion are needed to get basic supplies like ammo, plate carriers and other stuff in order to achieve the NATO goal of a 30 day war stockpile of supply, so that rules out a short term NATO intervention.
Regarding the shot down pilot. The guy who is alive looks to be a bit out of shape. You have to wonder how he is able to sustain high g maneuvers.
I am also wondering why the Russians still field all the different T- series tanks that put extra pressure on the logistics. If i was in charge, I would have gradually replaced especially the T80s with upgraded t72 tanks and put more money into crew training or logistics 😀
To all you guys directly involved i wish you all the best. Stay save!
