Don't worry, it's a terrible air force. We have two types of combat aircraft - one is a sort-of-good 50+ year old design MRCA that will be replaced by the F-35 (genius move!) and the other is an interceptor designed in the 80s that was pushed into the fighter-bomber role. The project was so bad that France left and developed their own plane - they managed to finish the design faster and cheaper.
Oh and the entire Bundeswehr is basically the worst army money-efficiency-wise. We pay almost as much as Britain or France, who have like nuclear subs and actual nukes. Germany has less tanks than Poland. It's a giant grift, maybe worse than the friggin' Pentagon. Everybody thinks it's money well spent.
That’s comforting to hear! Critical support to the German government in their fight against the German military
