@his dudeness: Somewhere I've heard, that vdL and her associates might be responsible themselves for some or even all of the "accidental" leaks which are popping up all over the media right now. She can easily point fingers at her predecessors, and at the same time prepare both fellow politicians and the public for the budget increases that have to come now.
IF (and that's a big if) that's true, it would be pure genius. So I'm somewhat in doubt ...
Maybe she or her team just started to look at military matters more intensely, in light of all the fuss that has been going on lately (Ukraine, IS, Gaza).
Regarding the Eurofighter problems, they are grossly exaggerated by some (not all) media.
