The LOLwaffe strikes again: Germany, always the first to promise air transport capacity for international mission in order to avoid being called up for combat troops (while at the same time being unable to airlift its own logistics from and to Afghanistan and instead depends on leasing Antonow transports form the Russians against whom it calls for sanctions ...), has participated in airlifting material to the Ebola crisis region.

Problem is that the Transall being sent broke down and now is stuck on Gran Canaria.

This could cost patients' lives.

Internal documents meanwhile got leaked, showing that Germany currently is not able to fulfill its NATO alliance obligations and would be unable to send those units it has reported to Brussel as ready within 180 days in case of a NATO crisis.

We should have bought one of the Swedish CV 90 designs instead of doing the Puma. And we should have bought some established cargo transport as well instead of going with the A400M.
