Cheap, stingy, miserly? Guns or butter and all that?

From Russian media outlet Sputnik yet one more item the lack of German military preparedness.

"Most German Military Helicopters Not Ready for Use - Report" 

"The readiness of the German Armed Forces, the Bundeswehr, has been the topic of heated debate amid reports of staff-shortages, problems with ammunition, weapons, and even aging jets – as well as under-funding. Germany has also been the target of US criticism for spending less than 2% of GDP on defence, as NATO countries agreed to do years ago."

HELICOPTERS OF THE EUROCOPTER TIGER VARIETY. ATTACK CHOPPERS WITH SOME FORMIDABLE COMBAT CAPABILITY.

20 % NOT AVAILABLE FOR COMBAT AT THIS EXACT MOMENT IF CALLED UPON. THAT IS NOT SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM?

Refusal to budget for and spend money to enhance military preparedness to blame? See previous blog entries as most relevant:
