- Quo vadis Defence Germany?
In their current state, the German Armed Forces are not capable of fulling their mission.
NATO's demands and the Bundeswehr's original mission have been ignored for decades. The war is now forcing Germany to rethink the relevance of the Bundeswehr and its role in NATO.
The German defence industry can only partially close the capability gaps of the Bundeswehr.
In the areas of the Army and the Navy, German and European industry are well positioned due to their know-how and technical expertise. For the Air Force, there is no way around U.S. products.
The special budget - seize the opportunity!
If the right course is set now, German industry will benefit from the €100 billion despite a partial lack of capabilities.
We are eager to hear your opinion on this topic.
