Defense projects: "New era" for the air force - Pistorius receives the first F-35s
In Texas, the first stealth jet for Germany is being presented. With the capability to carry atomic bombs, the German military will also participate in nuclear deterrence in the future.
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has presented the country's first F-35 fighter jet in Fort Worth, Texas. The F-35 is considered a crucial addition to the Bundeswehr, enabling Germany to strengthen its deterrence against Russia. The German government is investing €10 billion in 35 F-35 aircraft to replace its ageing Tornado fleet, with the jets playing a key role in NATO's nuclear sharing concept. The F-35's stealth capabilities make it nearly undetectable by enemy radar.
