This weeks Flight has an article on the lack of availabilty of German military aircraft....

Sea King. 21/ 5/ ???/2023
Sea Lynx. 32/ 19 /6 2025
CH53G. 72/ 40/ 16/ 2023

H145M. 15/ ??/ 10
A400M. 15/ ??/ 3
Eurofighter 128/ 81/ 39

Lack of spares, people and money........ less than 100 deployable

No Tornado in service anymore?

I thought the same thing but Tornado availability was not mentioned in the article.

I think the torpedo was mentioned some weeks ago - also in very low serviceability levels.

Interesting that these figures are made publically available. As these figures are a direct indication as the ability to defend the country.

Perhaps they're boasting.

Let's face it.............. it's not the sort of thing that Mrs Merkle and her cronies have the slightest interest in.

Until they get someone in power who gives a FRA it's not going to change.

Arc

Be interesting to see uk numbers as our leaders also don't give a stuff

Only the RN seem to give numbers on ships

And you think we will be better?

That’s because they can only count up to ten :rolleyes:

Herman Goering will be rolling in his grave!
