It would appear that Mr Juncker is an ignoramous when it comes to defense matters.
The chief of the European Union's executive branch said Friday he wants to streamline defense procurement and industries in member states to make them more efficient and less dependent on U.S. military protection.
Reasonable statement.
"We have in Europe 174 kinds of weapons" when "one European helicopter and one European tank would be enough," Juncker said.
That's downright stupid. You'd need one purpose built for cargo and one purpose built for attack, at a minimum. The design tradeoffs based on mission requirements appear to be something Mr Juncker has no understanding of. I won't comment on how many tank types would be needed, but I suspect that the experts in land warfare may have similar views regarding that utterance.
