The Bundeswehr's capability profile, which was drawn up four years ago, still represents an important basis for planning for the German armed forces. At that time, the gaps that separate the Bundeswehr's equipment from full equipment were listed. It was calculated at the time that around 200 billion euros would be needed to close the gap in skills. part of this investmenthave now been made, but well over 100 billion are still needed to achieve full funding. The special fund and the increase in the "normal" defense budget bring the Bundeswehr a good deal closer to the goal of full equipment.
Wo muss besonders investiert werden? Diese Frage führt in aller Regel in der Bundeswehr zu einem Konkurrenzkampf der Teilstreitkräfte und Organisationsbereiche. Es kursiert in der Regierung eine Liste, die zwischen Verteidigungsministerium, Finanzministerium und Bundeskanzleramt abgestimmt wird. Dass sie streng geheim ist, versteht sich von selbst.
