Rüstung: Jagdbomberdrohne erst 2035? Rheinmetall warnt vor verspäteter Beschaffung
Rheinmetall wollte zeitnah erste Deep-Strike-Drohnen an die Bundeswehr liefern. Nun könnte der sicher geglaubte Auftrag platzen. Der Bundeswehr drohe eine Fähigkeitslücke, mahnen Experten.
Rheinmetall warns of delayed procurement for deep-strike drones, with potential delay until 2035. The German government had planned to procure "Jagdbomberdrohnen," or deep-strike drones, with a small contingent of about twelve units to be in service before the end of the decade. However, disputes between the procurement office and the defense ministry may result in the cancellation of the initial procurement.
The federal government is now planning an open competition, with bids from Rheinmetall, Airbus, and Helsing, as well as the US company General Atomics.
