However, there are problems for sure. Logistics, airlifting capacity. The Transalls are becoming extremely old and worn-out. The Airbus replacement is in doubt, and heavily delayed at least. the new IFV is under fire, apperently not as good as it was planned to be. The navy is undersupplied and just two years or so ago still needed to take spare parts from two vessel in order to get a third one operational and ready to travel. The German Tiger has not the same combat capacity as the Spanish and French version. The fleet of transport helicopters is aging.

The main problems come from the political field, assisted by the different role for and perpection of the military in Germany. It is argued that if they would label the war in Afghanistan a war in Afghanistan, they would violate the constitution by participating in that war in Afghanistan. Which makes it a very schizophrenic and unreasonable decision to have gone there from the very beginning. Politicians - always dealing with their delusions instead of realities. They all are thimbleriggers.
