The German government is still strictly refusing the delivery of Leopard-type main battle tanks to Ukraine. However, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense is not giving up hope and is trying a creative approach: with a humorously reinterpreted music clip by the artist Friedrich Liechtenstein.
With the slightly modified hit "Supergeil", the Ukrainian military is asking for "Leopard" main battle tanks from Germany. In the video clip by artist Friedrich Liechtenstein, photos of the already delivered anti-aircraft weapons "Gepard" and IRIS-T were edited - dubbed "Super Gepard" and "Super Iris". So you already have a "super defense" (super defense), they say. But then scenes from "Super Leopard" are used - combined with a "Super Please". At the end it says "Thank you Germany".
The video was published by the Ministry of Defense on Twitter. The German government has so far refused to supply Leopard-type battle tanks and Marder-type infantry fighting vehicles, pointing out that no other partner in Ukraine supplies Western tanks that are as modern as this one. The country attacked by Russia hopes for tanks of these types to be able to liberate occupied territories more easily.
In order to gain international attention and help, the Ukrainian leadership relies heavily on social media. Despite the seriousness of the war, the memes and video snippets are often humorous.
