Police escort Tamerlan Eskerkhanov believed to be one of five suspects in the killing of Boris Nemtsov in a court room in Moscow, Russia, Sunday, March 8, 2015. Five suspects in the killing of prominent Russian opposition figure Boris Nemtsov have been delivered to the court for arraignment, the spokeswoman for a Moscow court said Sunday.

Russian news agencies late Saturday reported that two others had been detained, and Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said Sunday there was a fifth suspect. Details remain vague in the case despite President Vladimir Putin's pledge to pursue the killers vigorously. (AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev)

Drölfzig Kilogramm Ausrüstung, aber keine einzige Schutzweste. Immerhin gibt es Sägen für die Holzkreuze...

Westen, Schutzklasse 4? Kommen noch diesen Monat. Maschinenpistolen MP7, wie vorgesehen, für Kraftfahrer und MG-Schützen? Sind im Zulauf. Die nötigen 30 Marder-Schützenpanzer? Sollen Ende März da sein, alle im neuesten Rüststand. Zum 7. April, so hat es Oberstleutnant Stephan Behrenz dem Heeresinspekteur Bruno Kasdorf versprochen, steht der Deutsche Gefechtsverband NRF, der Beitrag des Deutschen Heeres zur geplanten superschnellen Eingreiftruppe der NATO.

Seit wann werden denn G36 mit Trommelmagazin als LMG eingesetzt? Die zentrale Anordnung vor den G36 mit Stangenmagazin legt das nahe.
