Plug in Berlin - For the high military expenditures, the federal government heavily criticized. FDP defense expert Elke Hoff: "The government throws money out the window. It is an affront to the German taxpayer that purchases most of the Bundeswehr are based on completely outdated war scenarios. As expensive equipment is purchased with doubtful benefits, while lacking much-needed equipment. "
It seems that the government could dance on the nose. As in the case of the "Puma". Instead of the manufacturer to insist on the contract, she is reluctant to withdraw from the contract. "The likely consequence is that it costs the taxpayers twice: once for a defective product, then for expensive repairs in order to save what can still be saved," said Alexander Bonde of the Greens.
After all, was the armed forces in air-to-ground firing range "Bombodrom" in the Kyritz-Ruppin Heide (Brandenburg) clear. At the project will be abandoned because of the crisis. 285 million euros will not be installed.
