Germany published a list of what it has delivered to Ukraine. It's okish... some thoughts
• 14,900 anti-tank mines - we have seen DM31 and DM-12 PARM mines used by the Ukrainians; of both the German Army has more than 100,000 in storage... so more

could and should be delivered. Hopefully the Germans will also deliver DM 1399 anti-tank mines, which can be scattered by their MARS II.
• 50 DM32 Bunkerfaust patrons for the Panzerfaust 3... these are meant for urban combat, as they can punch through 25 cm of concrete;

but 50 is nothing - alone in Severodonetsk Ukrainians need 1,000.
The rest of the delivered stuff is decent and needed, but nothing of it is really game-changing and the numbers are low.
Of the stuff that has yet to be delivered, the following things are interesting:

• drones and anti-drone systems, excellent stuff, but more are needed than these paltry numbers; and ALL of it comes from German industry... so all of it needs to be produced before it can be sent.
• 7 jamming systems - again they come from the industry and it's too few.

• COBRA - COunter Battery RAdars, powerful stuff, but instead of taking Bundeswehr radars now, Scholz decided that Ukraine will get newly built radars, which will take months.
Summary: good equipment, but paltry numbers and it will take months for the stuff to arrive.
