          Dumb ?, this concept does not apply to the Germans.
          The USSR returned the Germans half of Germany.
          But the Americans were not going to do this.
          Why on earth?
          It so happened that the USSR subordinated to the United States its share of German territory.
          According to the results of World War II, the United States legally rule the Germans.
          Those well-fed and satisfied. Fully dependent on the USA.
          So they will fly on what they are allowed to.

            The most senseless trick of Gorbachev. Even the Germans did not know how to react to this enchanting stupidity. Voluntarily surrender control over the center of Europe, while not only not getting any financial or political preferences, but also ruining the most combat-ready armies of the USSR by bringing them out into the open. In terms of costs, the withdrawal of troops from Germany is estimated at 50-100 of those German marks, and this little bitch received 000 billion and the title of "traitor of the century" but it is synonymous with the first two).

        Germany has indicated its presence in the coalition - abandoned otmaza -

        quote:
        “No illusions. This is a dangerous and difficult mission. ”
        According to her, the military has 30 "ready-to-use Tornado reconnaissance aircraft." But “in Syria, we plan to use six,” she said on the N-24 channel.

        Germany was imposed on the participation of gentlemen from overseas in the coalition, but this does not suit her at all. Germany says there’s nothing to bomb — you see only six aircraft. Who checked the planes?
        Why in the comments urashapokazatelstvo?

        It's even funnier in Holland. Lack of ammunition for small arms makes Dutch soldiers run around on exercises yelling "bang-bang", or "tra-ta-ta-ta-ta" I would generally arm them with Chinese toys with electronics and light bulbs to protect their voice. Shouting "Give up" comes in handy.

        This is the result of the work of American "friends." But at the same time, the Europeans are tolerant and submissive like sheep, which is what the mattresses were trying to achieve. But at the same time, they saturate Europe with elements of European missile defense, saying, “We will protect you from evil Russians.” That is, in fact, the United States acts as a kind of “roof” that does not forget to cut the bribe from these “sheep.” It's a pitiful sight. exhausted itself ...

      The screen from the website of the Ministry of Defense of Germany, however, is a bit outdated. In 2013, Germany officially had only 393 Leopard-2 tanks in service. Do not pay attention to the rest in the table - there is the same rubbish as the Vissel armored vehicle, as in the top picture.
      In reality, the number of combat-ready tanks in the Bundeswehr at that time was 262, including training ones! The rest were out of order. After the events in Ukraine, the German Bundesmen stirred and demanded to remove at least one hundred Leo-2 tanks from storage and upgrade them to a decent modern level. No money was found, so the plans were postponed to 2017.
      Total: the army of Germany has about two hundred combat tanks Leo-2A :.
      In addition, it suddenly turned out that the FRG army did not have any anti-aircraft complexes of direct military cover for armored tanks. The old ones were written off and sent for storage, but the new ones do not exist in nature. The cover is carried out by conventional portable MANPADS having a height limit of up to three km.
      Then came the epic problems with the attack helicopter "Tiger". which they drank and drank, but never finished. They did it for fifteen years, but as a result, after tests in Afghanistan, this helicopter was recognized as limited serviceable, but not during hostilities :)
      A similar story with the transport aircraft A-400M. Deliveries of which were delayed for five years, and after the recent disaster in general is in question.
      Add to this the recent scandalous hearings in the Bundestag, where the numbers sounded, that the German aviation is operational only by thirty to forty percent.
      Moreover, there are no new attack aircraft and bombers as a separate class! Those that remain have an age of about forty years.
      The German fleet can be described as coastal, and consisting of 80% of the ancient floating rubbish.
      Further disassemble laziness, and there is no particular sense.
      France has 240 tank troops (part of the training, the percentage of serviceable is unknown). Great Britain has about three hundred tanks of not the first freshness.

        1.If all the armies of Europe are not considered separately, but as part of NATO, then it immediately becomes not so funny ...
        The second follows from the first. The United States considers all Young Europeans to be a buffer between them and Russia (well, or like cannon fodder), and Germany Italy France is almost allies (well, or the elite second-wave cannon fodder), and the shavers are almost like brothers in oil. ..

    Actually, the Germans are pragmatists. Since the end of the Cold War, and even earlier, they knew very well that the threat of an attack from the USSR, and subsequently from Russia, did not exist and does not exist. Therefore, the former smart leaders invested in the development of the economy, industry and social projects, thereby ensuring a high standard of living for the population. Former Chancellors of Germany were not dependent on the opinions of the states, and did not really succumb to pressure. Suffice it to recall Germany's position on Iraq. With the arrival of Merkel, everything changed dramatically - complete dependence on the states and submissive execution of all orders from Washington. We won't even talk about refugees - Germany is slowly being occupied by bearers of a faith alien to them, with an obviously aggressive attitude towards the Germans.
    Now Germany will have to invest a lot of money in the purchase of new weapons, which together with spending on migrants will be a serious burden on the economy. It becomes weaker financially, but who benefits? That's right - states that do not need strong allies.

    The German fleet can be described as coastal, and consisting of 80% of the ancient floating rubbish.
    Further disassemble laziness, and there is no particular sense.
    France has 240 tank troops (part of the training, the percentage of serviceable is unknown). Great Britain has about three hundred tanks of not the first freshness.

    Oh Germans, Germans! Well, you made two (!) Times mistakes in the strategy of choosing your allies. At first, in World War I, they made no alliance with Russia, then again (1-41gg) they succumbed to the Angles and became our worst enemy ... Can't you understand that a full-fledged and long-term alliance of the peoples of Germany and Russia is an aspen stake in the English coffin to the states? .. recourse

      On the contrary, it is more surprising that the Germans and the British are so cruel
      ironed each other's friend in two world wars.

      You do not take into account that the Germans and the British are almost genetically
      one people. Anglo-Saxons ... Where is Saxony located? - in Germany.
      Angles and Saxons are Germanic tribes that once conquered Britain.

      And in the USA there was a historical moment when immigrants from Germany made up
      almost half the population. There were discussions in Congress which language to choose
      by state: English or German! English went small
      by a majority vote.

      They know how now to fight or not, I would argue. The first half of the last century for Germany was spent in war (1st and 2nd world). There I agree, they knew how and fought. From 1945 to the present day - the Germans did not take part in armed conflicts (I do not take into account the small contingent in Afghanistan). There are no serious strategists with combat experience left either. Today's youth are brought up in the "best European traditions". No money is allocated for combat training. And on the investigation, combat experience is not transferred.

    A defective can be repaired. Spare parts to get and replace is a small matter.
    If they lock (and the parliament will give money), then all the planes will turn into serviceable.
    They are just too lazy to move. America covers them, the mood in the country is peaceful.
    The NATO leadership is now "pushing" the Germans to pull up a little. And they are lazy.

      aviation is not tanks, it has its own specifics: for example, if the MI-8 10 engine has been out of stock for years, no one will put it on board due to the expiration of the calendar resource, only through the plant. And the calendar resource is the period during which uncontrollable state changes.
      So if the deadlines are reached, it is only through the ARZ: at least with us, even with them. And this is money, deadlines, additional needs ....

    NATO is the legalized occupation of Europe by the US Armed Forces.
    Can you imagine that the occupiers would suffer full-fledged armed forces in the country they occupied?
    Here is the answer to the question why Europe without America is completely defenseless.
    If America withdraws its armed forces, Europe will simply be devoured.

Earlier, the head of the German Defense Ministry Ursula von der Leyen, the military have 30 "ready-to-use Tornado reconnaissance aircraft" ". But “in Syria, we plan to use six,” she said. Nothing surprising. RIA Novosti. Soldiers of the German unit of the NATO Response Force (NRF) at military exercises in Norway were forced to mount painted broomsticks in the armored personnel carrier instead of machine guns due to lack of weapons, German media reported. (C)

    Gentlemen, I would not hurt to trust all this suffering in the media about the deplorable state of the Luftwaffe and the Bundeswehr, ask me why? So read in the archives of the media, even on VO, that they wrote about our Armed Forces three years ago, "everything was gone, everything was stolen." And now, no matter how the note, so - "Well, wait ... we'll tear you all." So I would not be under the impression about the state of the NATO Armed Forces.
