November 5, 2000

German opposition parties complain that the Social Democratic Party government has not allocated enough money for defense modernization and procurement. Over the next 12 years, the Germans expect to buy:

@ 180 Eurofighter Typhoon multi-role fighters

@ 134 NH90 multi-role helicopters

@ 73 Airbus A400M transports

@ One SAR-Lupe radar surveillance satellite

@ 80 Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopters

@ 3000 MRAV armored vehicles

@ Five K130 corvettes

@ Three type-124 anti-aircraft frigates

@ Eight Type-212A diesel submarines

The opposition parties say that these will cost 100 billion Deutchesmarks (about $44 billion), while the government has allocated only 70 billion.--Stephen V Cole
