"Germany simply does not have the political, geographic and military conditions of the UK"
You are of course correct - they have a stable govt, a budget surplus, a higher standard of living
When it comes to aircraft they have more Tornados than we have and almost the same number of Typhoons
Their Army has +60,000 men and +400 MBT's - ours has 84000 men and 227 MBT's
Our navy is bigger and better - more of everything and SSN's and SSBN's
I'd still say looking at the numbers that we have a far larger RAF estate than we'd have if we started from scratch
