At the last meeting of the year, the budget committee approved eight 25 million euro bills that will enable the Bundeswehr to procure modern equipment over the next ten years. "A good day for the Bundeswehr, a good day for national and alliance defense," Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht opened a specially convened press conference in Berlin.
Es sei gelungen, im Haushaltsausschuss die Voraussetzung für Beschaffungen in einer Größenordnung von fast 13 Milliarden Euro auf den Weg zu bringen, so Lambrecht weiter.
Die Entscheidungen im Ausschuss seien mit großer Mehrheit über die Ampel hinaus gefallen.
For the Inspector General, General Eberhard Zorn, this was the starting point for the implementation of the projects from the special fund. A large number of 25 million euro templates will follow in the near future in order to be able to fulfill the orders with modern material. As orders, he named the provision of forces at the NATO spearhead (VJTF), the army division, which NATO has promised from 2025, and the brigade that Germany wants to offer to the European Union, as well as the 20 boats and ships that the navy has ready Must. Contract negotiations with industry have already begun for seventy percent of the projects to be financed from the special fund, the inspector general explained.
