Abstract

The article discusses Germany's plans to secure over 60 military procurement orders by the end of the year, including the acquisition of 20 Eurofighter jets and thousands of armored vehicles. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius outlined the government's goal to strengthen the Bundeswehr, aiming to make it Europe's strongest conventional army. The annual defense budget is projected to exceed €162 billion by 2029, facilitated by a special fund exempting defense spending from constitutional borrowing limits. Additionally, Germany intends to modernize its military satellite infrastructure and is exploring various procurement options, including Leopard 2 battle tanks and drones, while facing challenges related to production bottlenecks in the defense industry.
