What level does the fighting capacity of the contemporary German army belong to in the world?

No matter how much Germans preach the fighting capacity of modern Germany, the army of modern Germany is really stretched.

The army of modern Germany, let alone the United States or Vienna, can't even beat France next door!

What I said to the author is affirmative. Modern Germany cannot beat France next door.

The author also analyzes how the combat effectiveness of modern Germany has been lengthened from the perspectives of military expenditure and equipment.

1, military expenditure

If you want the army to fight, then the government must give you a lot of military expenses, right?

According to the German government's public budget report, Germany's military expenditure in 20 19 was 47.9 billion euros, accounting for about1.39% of Germany's GDP.

In addition, it should be noted that not all the money is used for the German army, but also the related expenses of the US troops stationed in Germany.

Germany's military spending ranks ninth in the world, while India and Japan's military spending is much higher than Germany's.

The military expenditure of 50 billion euros is not enough. What can Germany do to the United States and Russia?

Judging from the military expenditure, Germany can't even beat India.

Without money, did the Germans storm the soldiers in the air?

2. Equipment

Since the end of World War II, Germany seems to rely on holding the thighs of the United States to safeguard national defense, so its military equipment also lags behind the mainstream troops in the world.

Take German-class machine guns as an example. Modern Germany is still equipped with MG3 machine guns.

As for MG3, to put it bluntly, MG42 has changed the barrel leather series, which is an old guy used by the United States during World War II.

What do you think of the Germans, using the old guy of World War II in the United States, and hitting the French next door with what?

In addition to tanks, there are more than 200 Leopard 2 tanks in active service in Germany.

As for the most advanced tanks, there are not many in Germany.

What's more, the author watched many training videos of German soldiers. The training helicopters used by these modern German soldiers are still, UH, those used by the United States during the Vietnam War. 1D

Therefore, German fans really don't expect much from modern German equipment. The more you know, the more disappointed you will be.

3. German military service system

Modern Germany abolished the compulsory military service system and changed it to a system combining contract soldiers with professional soldiers.

I didn't find out the specific number of German servicemen, but according to the data of several websites, it should not exceed 200,000.

The number of American troops stationed in Germany has exceeded 50 thousand.

To tell the truth, if Germany really wants to rebel, it may not be able to beat the tens of thousands of American troops stationed in Germany.

After all, modern Germany with backward equipment may not be much different from Iraq in front of the US military.

4. Summary

For the last time, don't expect the modern German army to be strong.

After all, the whole of Europe is staring at Germany. Germany's expansion may make Britain and France nervous, so it is difficult for Germany to expand its army!

Don't expect Germany to beat America and Maoxiong with a big bomb. If even France can't win, it's the right solution!
