Reuters: Germany Is Preparing The Largest Orders For Aircraft And Armored Vehicles

This is part of Friedrich Merz's plan to create the most powerful army in Europe.

Germany is preparing a series of multi-billion dollar purchase orders for 20 Eurofighter fighter jets, up to 3,000 Boxer armored vehicles and up to 3,500 Patria infantry fighting vehicles.

Two sources familiar with the plans told Reuters. The purchases are part of Chancellor Friedrich Merz's efforts to build Europe's most powerful army, as well as to reduce dependence on the United States and take greater responsibility for European security.

The order for Eurofighter fighter jets alone is expected to cost 4-5 billion euros, the sources said, while the Boxer, which is produced by KNDS and Rheinmetall, is estimated to cost 10 billion euros. The Patria is estimated to cost around 7 billion euros.

Sources said the Defense Ministry is also drawing up plans to buy additional IRIS-T air defense systems and several hundred SkyRanger drone defense platforms, noting that the financial details of these purchases have yet to be agreed.
