@Götterdämmerung

how about making a thread about the Bundeswehr, talking about the glorious and inglorious past, the presence and the future of the army?

the famous discipline of the Prussian army
the victories and defeats on battlefields
the role during the Cold war
a core member of the NATO
the german military complex

the german army has come a long way since the terrible defeat in the WWII with millions of deaths, continents in ruins. once belonging to one of the most powerful armies in Europe under the command of Adolf Hitler,

now the army is under the command of defence minister Von der Leyen.

I thought this thread will cover the history of the German armed forces. The Wehrmacht is just a part of the history. The present days may be more interesting for some. For example who has the supreme command in war, what role Germany has in activation of nuclear weapons stored in Germany. Or in case of a full scale russian invasion of Europe and Baltic states.

6x 1,900-2,400 ton AIP attack submarines dolphine class for Israel. with a special feature: besides 6x 533mm torpedo tubes, every sub has in addition 4x 650mm torpedo tubes. since nobody confirms nor denies, the large tube can only be designed to fire nuclear armed Popeye Turbo cruise missiles.

also, the people of israel can thank me. large part of the funds come from german tax payers. me included

My favourite tank series in the whole world

Canada finally relented years back and acquired these babies to use in Afghanistan conflict. They are the best of the best capability wise.

Leopard 2 is indeed a good tank, well balanced in speed, armor and firepower, one of the most commercially successful tanks in the world, but it has right now little chance if going head to dead against russian T-90 tank

Hence the Leo needs an upgrade: a new designed longer cannon with shells capable to pierce through T-90 armor.
