Translated by google
The German air force was one of the most shameful among NATO.
The total degradation of the German Air Force has led to the fact that out of 152 military helicopters, only 20 rotorcraft are suitable for flying, of which only 8 attack helicopters can be used to participate in hostilities.
“Only 20 helicopters of the German Armed Forces out of 152 are suitable for flights, this negatively affects the plan for training new pilots. This was announced on Thursday by the German newspaper "Bild" with reference to the confidential report of the Bundeswehr. According to the publication, only 8 out of 53 Tiger helicopters, as well as 12 out of 99 transport helicopters NH90, are in operational readiness , according to the Nezavisimaya Gazeta , a Russian information and news publication.
A similar situation is observed in the German Air Force and with military as well as military transport aircraft, which, according to experts, is unacceptable for one of the main members of the North Atlantic Alliance.
“As one of the most valuable members of NATO, Germany is showing complete degradation in the ranks of its Air Force. Neither fighters, nor bombers, nor helicopters are actually ready to participate in real hostilities, and this despite the fact that Germany annually spends space sums to maintain its defenses , ”the specialist notes.
