In 2025 alone, Germany purchased 315 million euros’ worth of Israeli weaponry – more than in the previous four years combined
- Read the actual article. The missiles are licensed made in Germany on an existing prodcution line owned by a company, which is 80% owned by German defense companies. - If I give France $1,000,000,000 to use a specific shade of color, but make the color on Brazilian machinery owned by Brazilians… I’ve still given France $1B. Have I not? - But this is buying $1B worth of color from the Brazilians. They probably end up giving some licensing money to the French, but it is going to be much less then $1B, if they have not done it in the past. 
 
- Yeah, but the headline aligns with OP’s narrative, this is what all this is about. Authoritarian propaganda. - 80 percent of shares are held by German defense companies Rheinmetall and Diehl, with the remaining 20 percent owned by Dutch holding company Ercas B.V. - Ercas B.V. is owned by Israeli Rafael. 
 
 
- Financing genocide in the name of “never again”. I despise where my taxes go. 
- Cozy with the terrorists. 
- Just in case some russian tanks get lost 
- *The missiles will be delivered to Ukraine and the headlines will say that they should have bought more. - *Speculation
