^ As far as I can take from the media, its nothing new, nor has it substantially changed. That only fractions of the armed forces can be activated for battle-readiness within reasonable amounts of time, is being reported since years: tanks, IFVs, fighters, transports, submarines, helicopters. I quoted that often enough in the past two years or so.

That Germany is in no way capable currently to fulfill its NATO obligations, also is no new news at all. The Generalinspekteur der Bundeswehr, but also external experts, have warned of the pitiful state of the armed forces since long time. So, it has been quite high.ranking insiders who have made comments that Germany cannot fulfill its NATO obligations.

The drama with the German Eurofighters lasts since the first was delivered. And until today they still have not their planned full armament, AFAIK.

So sleep well and rest assured: even after Brexit and no matter how outraging we find that, you must not be afraid of us. Nobody must be.
