Wait... there's a candidate named Fred Merz?

Like William Frawley's character from I Love Lucy?

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Friedrich, shortened to Fritz.

It's optimised for use against HDBT (hard and deeply burried targets) and high-value targets.

@Sunshine he already backpaddled. He will not send them.

That's nice but Ukraine does not have anything that can launch it...

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

F16? Mirages?

They'll figure it out.

Most likely launcher would be Gripen. So this kinda depends on Sweden more than on Germany. Though the signals i saw coming from Sweden are that they would be willing to give Ukraine what they need, including fighter jets, provided that NATO takes up the slack in air defence in Sweden.

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No and no. There are talks to provide the Typhoon and the Gripen but nothing set yet. And there would still need to be several months of training.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mirage coming in early 2025 normally.

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which is not a platform that the missile is compatible with currently.

Okay, the Ukrainians did make adaptors for the SCALP/SS though so who knows right?
