Absolutely not. Germany has very strict resale licencing on their exports. Countries cannot sell them without Germany's permission, and they dragged their feet until finally agreeing.

"Only 10 of the 110 promised Leopard 1 tanks have been delivered so far, the report says."

"Ukraine is also yet to receive any of the four promised IRIS-T missile defense systems or the 20 Marder armored vehicles, while roughly just 850 of the 26,350 155 mm artillery shells promised have been delivered.

The package also included several hundred drones, air surveillance radars, tankers, ambulances, and heavy-duty articulated lorries.

Die Welt noted that it was possible that the weapons commitment may be "withdrawn," citing the example of 5,032 anti-tank handguns that had been listed as being prepared to be sent to Ukraine since the early months of the war, which have now disappeared off the site without any explanation.

It is not clear why Germany is dragging its feet over sending the weapons, although it was also slow to provide Ukraine with military aid at the beginning of the war. Despite that, it has since become one of Kyiv's biggest arms suppliers."

So, everything I said was a lie.. I said 64 years, which is clearly an exaggeration. I thought that much was obvious. The delay in sending tanks is indicated above. Do you want to tell me which parts are factually incorrect or how promised arms have been actually delivered in a prompt fashion?
