How many and what kind of submarines does Egypt, Israel, etc. - confuses a little.
It is embarrassing that they are being built in Germany, increasing its industrial and scientific potential.
A similar situation existed before World War II, when Germany was building up the potential of the military-industrial complex despite all the restrictions and prohibitions.

[tralflot1832]

I think there is no need to worry, Germany is divided as never before. There is no single unifier. The Germans do not want to serve in the Bundeswehr!

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

Is it disunited or not, whether they want it or not, but in fact, on other people's orders, they increase and increase their capabilities.
It seems to me that it is worth paying attention to this. Close.

You're right. Let's convert. Close. Right now

Make no mistake ...
Until 25, the increase in the army from 180 thousand to 205 thousand will decrease in the Bundeswehr.
More than 10%
Every fourth person in the Bundeswehr comes from immigrants.
That is, almost 50 thousand.
Moreover, there are less than 1.5 thousand Arabs.
All the rest come from Russian-speaking migrants.
Accordingly, the Arabs can be neglected.
But the fact that Russian-Germans, Russian-German-Kazakhs - serve in the Bundeswehr and their share - every fourth - is, in principle, a definite indicator.
Where Russians serve, there are no diapers or Coca-Cola.
And therefore, the Bundeswehr should never be underestimated.
They almost doubled the army's budget.
It was 1.2% of GDP, now, according to NATO requirements, it is 2%.
The satisfaction has increased.
I don’t want to lie, but something around 1500 euros is clean, plus full board (meals, uniforms, permanent residence in almost 2-bed hotels).
If you don't want to stay in a hotel, compensation for rented accommodation will be from 300 euros per month.
Provided a 42 hour work week.
Plus payment for future higher education.
And other goodies.
So, don't underestimate the Bundeswehr ...

Plus payment for future higher education.

It has been free in Germany since 2014. Even for foreigners.

Yes Yes ..
And who pays for boarding while studying, except the Bundeswehr?

Where in Germany can you get a full-fledged diploma of a doctor, dentist, veterinarian during the service?

It is these buns, in addition to paying for the service, that the Bundeswehr pulls.
And not in a military school before service, but during service in the same medical and sanitary units

[Bolt cutter]

during the service a full-fledged diploma of a doctor, dentist

Maybe a paramedic after all? Because if you study to be a doctor, there will be no time for cleaning weapons in 5 years. And how do the Bundeswehr members practice in the morgue?

[tralflot1832]

I read memoirs about the service of Russian Germans in the Bundeswehr, not everything is so bad. German well-being before the migrants was strengthened by the collapse of our army and, accordingly, the decrease in the forces of the Bundeswehr, how strong they were in 92 and what they have left now.

[Krasnodar]

and paint the grass from the fence to lunch What kind of baby talk? ))

[tralflot1832]

But for how the Russians serve in the Bundeswehr! German, you still haven't answered me for Stalingrad! Or the option of catching a sergeant on German punctuality and fulfilling the charter! It's generally tough.

[Krasnodar]

Spoke to people who served in the Bundeswehr
in Afghanistan
When they attacked a Canadian fortification next to the Germans, the Americans ordered the Bundeswehr to move to the rescue.
Those for permission to their headquarters
Headquarters to the General Staff
General Staff in the Ministry of Defense
Ministry of Defense - to parliamentarians
Parliamentarians have appointed a meeting for a working day to appoint a commission on the issue
Canadians had 200s at this time
The Americans spat on everything and sent combat and transport turntables with a landing
We got a wrecked transporter and our two hundredths, but the Canadians were evacuated
And the Germans did create a commission for such situations.

[tralflot1832]

Duc in Germany there are a lot of Arabs, their style. From the General the order goes down with the obligatory tea drinking, inspection of a white camel or donkey. Laudatory odes. When it starts to be executed, to the General from the bottom of the report they go with the same rules of etiquette. That is why you are Arabs and win .Joke.

[Krasnodar]

No, the Arabs have nothing to do with it - the Ordung is traditional, but Germany is new, different

[tralflot1832]

Let the Bundeswehr more often dress up in women, hairpins, skirts, wigs. The third Minister of Defense, a woman, I hope the Bundeswehr will not survive. The most important thing is that the lips are painted. And everything will be ordinary.

[Krasnodar]

The Minister of Defense is an administrator, no more
There they themselves do not want to fight

[tralflot1832]

That woman would have said so, otherwise the cook is standing in front of my eyes with a rolling pin, I can’t eat!

[Krasnodar]

Worse - she is a former gynecologist

[tralflot1832]

So again, the gynecologist, are you horrified about this Cranbalkabauer. Or about the one who is now the main skeet in the European Union?

[Krasnodar]

About the past, probably Or about the real one ... you can figure them out

It is simply customary for noteworthy urya-patriots that any army except the Russian one must wear diapers and a can of cola in hand. And if something is missing, if the ice is out of the stake, then they will not go to war.
:)
So I decided to throw a bone to these urya-patriots ...

Maybe then SP-2 needs to be mothballed? And stop any cooperation? And then suddenly the industrial and scientific potential will increase (although where already)? Write nonsense, dear, and what restrictions and prohibitions Germany has now, would like to create a second Wehrmacht, would create. Two world wars, a split and a long occupation forced the Germans to sit on the priest evenly. And if they launch the joint venture, Berlin will become the capital of the European Union.

[Denis812]

This is not the situation at all.
The Germans don't want to fight.
Not for anything.
The standard of living is excellent.
Is that come in large numbers to disperse, but they are too peaceful for this.
We uprooted them. It's a shame, of course. A great enemy was 1000 years in a row :)

[Yuriy71]

I read the comments - and I see that some are "Confused ..."! Only, Dear, you are not confused by what you need! You, pay attention to the Terms of construction and handover of boats to the Customer! - about a YEAR !!! But in Russia? That's what should be confusing! This is what you need to strive for !!!

[Graz]

Germans arm opponents of Saudis and Turks

[tralflot1832]

And the Turks who originally built the submarine. Something from Erdogan's friendly rhetoric towards Israel is not heard.
