Chill
the f35 is an emotional topic for me
I know, but even if the Sondervermögen gets a few Kürzungen, I think most of our politicians have realized that the Bundeswehr needs much more money / a much larger budget in the long term. Eventually reduced numbers or cut projects will be back on the list. Also why the frick do we need additional K130? Some navy shit doesn't make sense at all.
>100 billion extra is now worth less because of inflation and dollar vs euro
>because this is a special budget this had to go trough special hoops to get acknowledged
>now has to get adjusted
>commence chimpout by everyone
cutting the navy shit is unironically good. some of those ship configurations are just dogshit for low intensity pirate hunting
This. But this very same thread will be spammed ad nauseam by morons nonetheless.
Justifiably. Germans are dickheads and must be mocked mercilessly.
They manage to be incompetent, but smug, have an abhorrent history, but consider themselves morally superior. Them laughing at Trump about the gas thing, and subsequent events, have (in my mind at least) confirmed that, of all the whites, they are the worst.
The worst thing Germany did was not killing enough israelites.
have a nice day
>tfw we finally invest in the military but don't buy or arm drones because it's le morally wrong
our country is a witz

good news! but i have to chuckle that we lease our drones. can't have shit in germany
Eurodrone is under development and Airbus Germany is the primary contractor
That's a big drone
>4me a
Seriously, that's a really big drone.
Also
>First study in 2015
>First expected flight 2027
Lmao, Europe, lmao.
The first flight was in 2009, they used a discarded BAE design called mantis. see >
Armed/ISR MALE drones are getting larger. Eurodrone is a little big for it's payload but it seems like it's going more for payload.
Mojave is going to be insane though, better payload than Akıncı and meeting or exceeding all other statistics.
Not to mention piggybacking on existing pred infrastructure and being optimized for expeditionary use.
Mojave is a step down for the already in service MQ-9B (Sky Guardian / Sea Guardian / Protector). They just gave it shorter, fatter wings and reduced the payload a bit to make it short take-off.
>40 hrs endurance
>4,800 lb
holy fricking tapdancing christ I had no idea.
What a goddamn monster
Thank you for the clue-in anon, I'm in love
>Germany is the primary contractor
That was BAE mate, you were given a working design and you made it heavier and slower and later.
no, BAE and the UK at large isn't involved, go fantasize elsewhere
also nearly double the payload
>BAE and the UK at large isn't involved
Thankfully.
It's founded in their design though, whether you like it or not.
>no, BAE and the UK at large isn't involved, go fantasize elsewhere
>also nearly double the payload
basado. at least something
It looks large and expensive. Why is Europe trying to build Predator or Global Hawk 30 years too late? The future is drones cheap enough that you don't mind losing them.
>double as heavy as the american reaper drone
He is a big guy
for europe
>for EU
Is it confirmed that the German Eurodrone will be armed?
the drone will be capable of carrying weapons for sure, and Germany ordered weaponry for its current Heron TP drones, so there's no reason to assume the Eurodrones won't be armed
>there's no reason to assume the Eurodrones won't be armed
We talk about Germany here.
>le morally wrong
Wasn't there some stupid law related reason Germany couldn't fly drones within their airspace?
Kinda hilarious considering the German model plane guys I know are turbo autist to the point that I would bet they could outdo the shahed in like a week tops
They realized with inflation, the money they announce yet will not be the same worth than. And i hope they correct the processes and less expensive consulting companies that doesnt really help with anything.
Won't make a difference if we wait additional 5 years for these projects.
>They allocate x amount of money to rearmament
>things get more expensive
>x amount of money will now get them fewer things than before
ok
but it's Germany anon, this means we need 5 spastic meltdown threads
frick. your. f35.
build another plane
>Das Bundesverteidigungsministerium schreibt in seiner Stellungnahme an den Rechnungshof, dass es gemeinsam mit dem Bundesfinanzministerium den Entwurf des Wirtschaftsplans mit Blick auf die abschließenden Haushaltsberatungen noch überarbeite. Von Streichungen einzelner Projekte ist noch keine Rede.
Let's wait.
the military will suffer. Abdul and Ayse got their 7th child and need child support
yikes
