And now,coming to 2015's Bundeswehr.I've been checking German related military news on mp.net and what i see is mind blowing.Let me share some news from there :
-a German PUMA IFV apparently costs 10 million Euros(11.2 million $)/piece.
-The deliveries of the Puma are delayed - among other things because the vehicles are not certified to transport highly pregnant women.
-The Bundeswehr had to use a black painted broom stick as a fake gun at the NATO maneuver Noble Ledger in Norway for their Boxer APC due to lack of fitting guns.
-Grenadier Batallion 371, currently part of the NATO Response Force is missing 76% of the needed Lucie night vision goggles, 41% of the needed P8 pistols and 31% of the needed MG3s.
All Boxer APCs are missing armament as well.
Apparently is not all that bad because German military think thanks refere to their military as a middle major power
Yes,the term seems to have confused German posters in there to,as one sarcastically remarked :
"Well it obviously means we are stronger than any minor major power "
@Gabriel92 .....WTF ? It's a God damn circus ? Seriously now.....
