It is difficult for Germany to be one of the leading donors of the European Union.

No, it’s just that in 2011, Serdyukov appeared in the Ministry of Defense in Germany. In general, the Sredyukovschina in my opinion has recently acquired a global scale.

This is only in those countries that have business with Russia, they start the Serdyukovs. A new biological weapon of the Anglo-Saxons.

The probability of Germany participating in the war is very low, and I can’t even guess who she could fight with now, so at this stage it’s really permissible for them to have a nominal army and forces to counter internal unrest.

This is by the way the issue of the power of aviation enterprises.
"The initial agreement for the supply of 80 vehicles (50 units for the Land Forces and 30 units for the Air Force) was placed in June 2000. The second contract for the supply of 42 helicopters (30 units for the Army and 12 units for the Air Force) was signed in June. 2007. "

That is, for 12 years and three months the first contract (80 cars) has not been fulfilled, the second contract (42 cars) for 5 years has also not been fulfilled, they still fulfill it. So how much do they build per year?

[Ragnarek]

Yes, Germany is no longer a cake. and on the other hand - the euro is the main weapon of modern Germany

[Botanologist]

Euro is the main weapon of modern Germany

After such exercises as we observe in Cyprus, Germany will face complete disarmament

[Logs]

Yes, in Europe there are no serious armies left, the Islamists will still show them for their frivolity.

[Avenger711]

Sleep well, 20-30 combat helicopters a year will be more than enough for us with such Germans.

[queen]

I think we need to take more care of our own, if you collect all of NATO, then such a bee swarm can sneak up on us.

[dmitry46]

On the site, the engine was changed, then hangs went (not otherwise than the heart ) patience, I think soon everything will fall into place.

[dimon-media]

Do you want to know if the economy of a country is healthy? Look at the military budget! Any economic downturn, let alone crisis, will hit the defense industry in the first place.

[WS]

On the other hand, why do they need so many turntables against whom they should fight? The neighbors are all calm, if there are hesitant then only pugs.

[Ruslan_F38]

When will we hear such good news regarding the USA? I hope soon, maybe the crisis will help.

[tomket]

A helicopter for the war in the European theater, in principle, is not needed in such quantities now, besides, the Germans are not yet very eager to fight in the colonial wars, and if anything, the British Apaches can be attracted to solve the interests of the NATO bloc

[butmer]

In terms of the number of modern combat helicopters, Russia has already outstripped countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom, although in terms of GDP per capita it is 3-4 times behind them. So you need to think about this crisis or just common sense
