If you don't know anything about our own military you could at least not spread bullshit comments based on one incident from 10 years ago. What extremely outdated equipment do we use? G36 and fn scars from 2017 that all personnel are equipped with? The brand new IFVs equipped with 30mms and antitank missiles and oshkosh JLTVs? The pzh2000? Did our HK GMGs and NASAMS age by 50 years over the last few when we bought them? Maybe multiple anti armour weapons per squad like AT4 and the new M72 LAWs aren't enough? Not to mention the javelins we've been buying each year over the last decade. And the defense budget is planned to go up to 2.5% gdp too. Maybe try going to a military expo for once and read the news of what we are buying to get an idea.

Not true. >people were pocketing all the funding up until recently by writing it off as the army buying spoons and forks worth 200€ each.

The company has returned the money and got their spoons back.

Anything else?
