Who said Germans cant do comedy?

[Die Welt] The German frigate "Hessen", which is deployed to protect merchant ships in the Red Sea, may be facing an ammunition problem. "We have now only found out on request that some of the ammunition on the frigate 'Hessen' can apparently no longer be replenished because the corresponding industrial capacity no longer exists," said the defense policy spokesman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Florian Hahn (CSU), to Die Welt on Wednesday.

"So if the stocks are empty, the navy can no longer replenish them - and has to withdraw the frigate," Hahn added. The defense expert accused the traffic light coalition of having concealed this fact from the opposition for months. "Parliament has therefore decided on a deployment without knowing that there is obviously an ammunition problem with frigate class 124," said Hahn.
