Germany's Defense Ministry Has Spent All Funds Allocated for Purchasing Spare Parts

The German armed forces have already spent the portion of the defense budget allocated for purchasing spare parts for military equipment. This was reported on Thursday by Business Insider, citing sources.

The budget for the German military in 2023 is €51 billion, of which €5 billion was allocated for spare parts, and this amount has already been expended, the article notes. No significant details have been provided.

At the same time, the German Defense Ministry has not confirmed this information.

In late February 2022, the German parliament voted to allocate €100 billion for defense needs. This involves the purchase of new equipment, ammunition, and technology, as well as the development of new systems. German experts have repeatedly pointed out that the Bundeswehr's logistics base has not improved in recent months.
