Utterly pathetic.
Politicans greatly underestimate at how long it takes to build and expand factories. This isn’t something that just happens with signing a bill and next year tanks are rolling out.
It takes years to expand and build factories, the same way it took years and decades to build fleets of Ironclads or British wooden cannon warships.
Germany misses every goal because of Scholz, so there is no surprise here.
Much like everything Scholz declared.
>”Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we had eight brigades at around 65% readiness,” Colonel Andre Wuestner, head of the German Armed Forces Association, told Reuters in an interview. Sending weapons, ammunition and equipment to Ukraine, as well as accelerating Germany’s own drills, took a toll on the available equipment, he said.
told you so. Everyone worth their salt also said that sending military aid would diminish our capabilities.
The least I expect now is that the people that responded _we should do it anyways because they are fighting our only enemy_ have the decency to acknowledge it was their demand and not blame Germany for doing what they wanted.
Not despite Scholz, but because of him.
Because Scholz.
But soon he’s gone, woohoo! 🎉
That’s 49% more than three years ago, so better than nothing. Will at least give us some days time to run away to another country once the russians come to attack.
Scholz was just a waste of time- can’t wait for the election hopefully a leader with a backbone is elected. Three years of continuous recession for my German friends is unacceptable
Yea, they will deliver 100 soldiers 37% ready in year 2089
Which overhaul?
The 100 billion were planned as only longterm investments for the Bundeswehr.
What happened? The government coalition made huge mistakes and had the overall federal budget taken by the constitutional court. A lot of the 100 billion got used for the normal Bundeswehr budget instead of going into gear, vehicles, planes,… Means that “Zeitwende” did happen on a way smaller scale.
It was a half ass attempt by Scholz.
Scholz had the right idea, as proven by his placement of a competent MoD since…I’m too young to remember a competent one before now.
> […] blaming a lack of a sense of urgency, a dysfunctional procurement system and strained finances.
Yes on the first two, sorta on the latter. The (goddamn cursed) debt brake made financing more of an issue. The procurement continues to screw with the €100B authorised up front.
One thing I really don’t like in this article is the inclusion of the opposition. Conservatives do nothing but smear the government. When them sitting around for 16 years caused half this shit to begin with.
>[..] Johann Wadephul, deputy leader of the CDU/CSU conservative faction in parliament responsible for defence topics, told Reuters.
Joe Wadaphuck over here could be right on everything, still not cool to present that guy as credible and neutral during an election campaign.
To be fair, I’d say this isn’t a terrible thing given Germans blunt accuracy.
Other European countries claims although stronger & positive sounding, may be more full of sht about preparedness if things kicked off now
With friends like these….
