Germany is planning a multi-billion-euro arms boost, including jets and armoured vehicles, to build Europe’s strongest conventional military force.
Germany will meet NATO’s new defence spending benchmark of 3.5% of GDP by 2029, well ahead of many alliance members.
The move comes amid mounting concerns about European readiness, especially following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
The invasion exposed deep vulnerabilities within the German military, prompting the country’s army chief at the time to lament that the Bundeswehr was “standing there more or less empty-handed.”
The new procurement plan is widely seen as a response to that critique and a signal of Germany’s evolving role in global and regional security.
Germany’s defence ministry has yet to publicly comment on the reported figures, while alternative estimates have also been cited by other outlets, including Bloomberg.
Nonetheless, the scale of the planned investments underscores a historic turning point in Germany’s post-war defence posture.
