(S+) Schützenpanzer »Puma«: »Einsatzbereitschaft wird zum Lotteriespiel« – General schreibt Brandmail
This sort of stuff has been an issue in the German military for years, maybe even a generation. They have a bunch of ships but only a handful are in working order. Their helicopters fall apart. Their troops are quite nazi-adjacent. The €100B special fund appropriated to the Bundeswehr this year isn't even enough to get them back into fighting shape, let alone modernize or expand.
