Verteidigung: Pistorius unterzeichnet Rüstungsvereinbarung mit den USA
Der Verteidigungsminister hat zum Auftakt seines US-Besuchs eine Absichtserklärung für Zusammenarbeit in der Rüstungsindustrie unterzeichnet. Worum geht es genau?
Washington, November 3, 2022 - German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and his US counterpart Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum of understanding to enhance cooperation on defense projects during a meeting in Washington, D.C. The German Defense Ministry announced that the two nations agreed "that the current security challenges require a robust and mutually beneficial defense industry base on both sides of the Atlantic."
Both countries possess strong defense industries capable of further complementing each other in the production of advanced weapons systems, components, and complex ammunition. The high demand for defense goods necessitates increased production capacity, shorter delivery times, and reliable supplies on both sides of the Atlantic to ensure the alliance's security and readiness.
The memorandum of understanding sets a political framework for future projects, including development, production, licensing of manufacturing, and maintenance of defense goods. Additionally, it aims to strengthen supply chains, review technology transfer regulations, and foster increased collaboration in research and development.
