Reply to comment by egotim in German chancellor says he won't send fighter jets to Ukraine by El-JJ
Germany also has Tornadoes, which are multirole aircraft. While very old, Germany could still send those if Ukraine wanted.

Tornados are for the nuclear deterrent and a couple roles eurofighter cannot currently perform.

Next to logistical issues for such old jets, the tornadoes are used in the nuclear sharing program. So by delivering them to Ukraine, Germany would give up its (already limited) nuclear deterrent in a time where risk of nuclear escalation is higher than it has been in many decades.
Let’s be honest, no country would do this.
