Another incident with military equipment shook the German defense infrastructure when unknown perpetrators set fire to several military vehicles at a MAN Truck & Bus repair center in Erfurt.

The specialized analyst Tendar reported widespread video footage in pro-Russian communication channels documenting the burning military equipment. The intriguing circumstance is that the recordings may have been filmed by the perpetrators of the crime.

The geographical context further reinforces suspicions – Erfurt is known for one of the most compact Russian communities in Germany. This fact raises serious questions about a potential coordinated sabotage operation.

Russian propaganda channels immediately spread a version that the destroyed machines were Ukrainian equipment sent for repair. However, expert visual analysis categorically refutes this thesis – the visible markings and camouflage unambiguously show that these are German military property.

The incident raises sharp questions about security in the Euro-Atlantic space and the potential risks of hidden sabotage actions against the military infrastructure of allied states.
