Text of German Officials' Discussion of Attack on Crimea Bridge Published by Simonyan
12:06 01.03.2024 (Updated: 13:12 01.03.2024) Earlier, Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT and Rossiya Segodnya, Sputnik's parent media group, revealed that she has obtained recordings of senior German military officers discussing attacks on the Crimea bridge.
Text of German officials' discussion of the
attack on Crimea bridge was published by Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT and Rossiya Segodnya, Sputnik's parent media group.
Four high-ranking representatives of the German armed forces Bundeswehr, including Brigadier General Frank Grafe, department head for operations and exercises at the Air Force Command in Berlin, Inspector of the Air Force Ingo Gerhartz and two employees of the air operations center of the Bundeswehr Space Command, took part in the discussion of the attack on the Crimean bridge, the publication said.
The transfer of 100 Taurus missiles to Kiev in two batches was allowed by a Bundeswehr Air Force inspector who took part in the discussion, the publication noted.
"We need to imagine that they [Ukrainians] can use aircraft with mounts for Taurus missiles and Storm Shadow. The British were there and equipped the planes. The systems are not that different and can be used for the Taurus as well," the text of the audio conversation of four high-ranking representatives of the German armed forces said.
The possibility of attacking with these missiles using a Dassault Rafale fighter was also discussed by German military, the transcript published by Simonyan disclosed.
'There is an opinion that Taurus will succeed if it uses the French Dassault Rafale fighter," a Germany military representative said.
According to the transcript, the Bundeswehr representative stated that once the
Taurus missiles are delivered to Ukraine, they will be operational within eight months. During the conversation, a participant expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the strike on the bridge and questioned the number of missiles needed. They suggested that it might not take as many as 10 or 20 missiles.
Recently, in Germany, there has been a discussion about transferring Taurus missiles to Kiev. A draft resolution on the supply of long-range weapons was adopted by the Bundestag, however, the specific type was not mentioned.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has consistently expressed his
opposition to such supplies. The German military, in a document published by Simonyan, talked on this issue, with one participant, saying that "no one knows why the chancellor is blocking these supplies."
The German defense ministry refused to provide a comment regarding the conversation of German military personnel about the attack on the Crimean Bridge.
The hybrid war against Russia, unleashed by the West, is in full swing, Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said regarding the reports of the prepared attack on
Crimea bridge.
