Which in principle is true with any American network-embedded hightech system. After Trump's opening salvos the last weeks, I have started to see the F-35 that Germany wants to buy in a different, much less favourable light. And we, Germany, do not only need a few hightech gimmicks - we need stuff in much higher
quantities than just these few planes. If there is a lesson to be learned from Ukraine: then that sufficiently high numbers still count - and can count heavier than superior technology. In case of a war we, every participating side, must be able to digest significant own losses. Every boxer knows that: you don't just have to be able to dish it out, you also have to be able to take it. You have to be able to get up again after being knocked down. And all too often that ability is what really decides the fight.
