Verteidigung: Drohende Milliardenklage: Bund bestellt trotz möglichen Rechtsstreits vier weitere Fregatten
Der Haushaltsausschuss soll an diesem Mittwoch den Weg für den nächsten Auftrag an TKMS frei machen. Doch ein Wettbewerber will sich noch nicht geschlagen geben.
The German government has decided to order four additional Meko A-200 frigates from TKMS, despite the potential legal dispute with Dutch shipbuilder Damen Naval. This move comes after the cancellation of the F-126 contract due to significant delays and high costs exceeding 18 billion euros. The Bundeswehr Minister Boris Pistorius announced the termination of the F-126 contract in June, citing the excessive expenses, which had already amounted to over 2.3 billion euros before the project was halted.
The decision to replace the cancelled F-126 order highlights the Bundeswehr's efforts to maintain a modern fleet, despite the legal risks involved.
