REPORT: German Bundeswehr now almost totally disarmed, with munitions stores sufficient to support only one or two days of fighting in the event of a serious conflict
Although it has long been known that the Bundeswehr faces an ammunition shortfall to the tune of 20 billion Euros, confidential documents from the Federal Ministry of Defence available to Welt am Sonntag show that procurement has all but stalled. The Ministry has so far submitted hardly any major ammunition procurement proposals to the Bundestag budget committee for approval this year.
The low munitions stocks are held to be one of the greatest weaknesses of the Bundeswehr. Experts estimate that current stocks would only last for one or two days in the event of a conflict. In order to cover Bundeswehr requirements which are calculated at 20 billion Euros worth of munitions by 2031, 2.5 billion Euros would have to be purchased every year until then. …
Nothing like that amount of money has been allocated, or even can be allocated. With the exception of some guided missile purchases for Navy frigates and some future plans to buy some additional rifle rounds and Panzerhaubitze 2000 projectiles, nobody in the listless Scholz government seems to care very much. The problem arises both from both years of chronic under-funding and from heedless aid shipments to Ukraine, which Germany can ill-afford to make good. Of 22 million small arms rounds sent east in the middle of 2022, for example, the Bundeswehr has been able to replace only 14.6 million.
Добре че Полша се въоръжава, а и тука Румъния, ние, Гърция криво ляво се въоръжаваме. Ако чекаме на ЕУ армия да има и да ни защитава, само с чекането ще си останем.
