The Luftwaffe has enough missiles to fully arm 4 Eurofighters. No its not a joke. Only missiles for 4 planes. Of 12 submarines Type 212 only 1 is combat ready. Of 48 Tiger UHT helicopters 9 are ready for combat. In this light you may understand why Germany is no fan of military advantures in the Ukraine. After 5 minutes of combat we could throw only with cotton balls. Sorry guys, you are on your own. 2 Quote

Sorry guys, you are on your own. well damn. Guess the Soviet Union finally got their wish of the late 1940s( no German rearmament). about 75 years later , but still Quote
+Gepard Posted February 5, 2022 Author Posted February 5, 2022 What do you expact after 16 years of henhouse?! We have now the third female secretary of defence in row! Genderconform language is more important than combat readiness, enough fuel and ammo or even combat boots! When german troops were sent out to UN-missions they had to borrow their equipment from other units, which stayed at home, because they had not had enough combat ready equipment themself! At the moment the only nation, we could harm with our overwhelming military force is the superpower of Luxemburg. 1 Quote
+Gepard Posted February 13, 2022 Author Posted February 13, 2022 And an other picture of EuFis, this time with israeli F-16. Quote
macelena Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Didn't the Luftwaffe order some 600 Taurus missiles with Merkel already? It seems weird to spend so much in ALCMs if you won't get enough AAMs for your air defence Quote

We spent over 50 billion Euros per year for defence, for nothing. The Russians spent some 60 billion Euros, only 10 billion more then the Germans, and look at their capabilities! Quote
+Gepard Posted February 28, 2022 Author Posted February 28, 2022 Good News! The german finister of finance announced yesterday, that the german government wants to make the Bundeswehr to the most powerfull army in Europe till end of the decade. Suddenly they found additionally 100 billion Euros in the budget to finance the Bundeswehr in 2022 alone. I'm not sure, wheter our eastern neighbors will like this decision. A powerfull german Army on the Oder-Neisse line could cause nightmares in Poland. 1 Quote
+Coupi Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I've understood that for the Luftwaffe the top priority would be to replace Tornados with F-35s. The F-35A has the tactical nuclear capability... Edited February 28, 2022 by Coupi Quote
+Gepard Posted March 1, 2022 Author Posted March 1, 2022 I think the future plane will be the F-18E Super Hornet. The Luftwaffe is said to become the Growler, so it would be easier for the logistics to have the F-18E as standard plane. I think the F-18 is faster to get, than the F-35. Quote
EricJ Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 I really don't think so honestly. I thought they were getting the two-seaters to replace the Tornados? Quote

It seems to be that you are right. In contrast to the old tradition only to fly planes with 2 engines (after Starfighter disaster) the german government decided to buy the single engine F-35. 1 Quote
+Gepard Posted July 22, 2022 Author Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Bundesluftwaffe has grounded their Eurofighter fleet, because problems with the ejection seat were detected. Edited July 22, 2022 by Gepard Quote
+Crusader Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Again? Seat things were a topic resulting in grounding of the fleet a year or two ago already. Quote
