Germany’s armed forces, the Bundeswehr, has been experiencing serious technical problems with its Puma infantry fighting vehicles, according to a report in Der Spiegel magazine on Saturday.
After a training exercise involving 18 state-of-the-art Puma infantry fighting vehicles, not a single one was left operational, the report said.
The situation has caused a stir in the Defense Ministry because the vehicles are supposed to participate in NATO’s spearhead Very High Readiness Joint Task Force next year.
Is Germany’s military unfit for action?
The German military faced yet another PR disaster on Monday morning after reports emerged over the weekend that a training exercise involving one of its key weapons, the Puma tank, left not a single one operational.
OK, that’s pretty bad, they better hire more cross dressers.
