Recent findings have shed light on the Russian army's preparation for modern conflicts, highlighting Germany's involvement in training the Russian army.
New evidence suggests that former German Chancellor Angela Merkel played a significant role in assisting the Russian army in mastering modern combat techniques before the 2014 invasion of Ukraine.
The Rheinmetall defense concern was developing simulators, software, and equipment for the Russian army, with a potential contract worth approximately 1 billion euros.
