In the late 60s the Germans were looking
for a replacement for its ground attack
Fiat G 91s.
As an offset against costs for BAOR and
RAF Germany the UK succeeds in selling
Harriers to the Bundeswehr and getting
Dornier involved in its production and
a joint trainer which becomes the Hawk.

Hi,
As this project (for the replacement of the French Rafale and the German Eurofighter) is different of the Airbus project to replace the German Tornado and the Spanish F-18, I open a new topic :)
Well, as the time to replace Rafale and EF is not for tomorrow, this topic may last for...

The program has however been badly delayed, leading to the procurement of 5 more K130 corvettes as a stopgap (despite their designation, basically oversized FACs)...

The primary contractors on this late 1980s program were MBB, AEG and Siemens. Unfortunately it fell prey to the post-Cold War peace dividend, being cancelled in favour of what originally had been a stopgap program as far as Germany was concerned, the US led Advanced Tactical PATRIOT, later to...
Just a thought that occurred. The German Armed Forces have been massively downsized since the end of the Cold War. Assuming a
decision were taken to re-arm to meet current threats what projects would be back on the table? Or what stuff would you like to see?
Seen today on the open house of the German Ministry for Defense, the Marder 1A3 Mod is
used as the so-called "Systronic Demonstrator". Basically the same vehicle as the Marder 1A3,
it is fitted with a drive-by-wire system, usable from three stations inside, a remotely controlled
weapons turret...

Hello,
I heard that HDW recently presented a Type 216 submarine design with vertical launcher tubes and a greater displacement than 212/214s. Is there anyone with more details?
While searching patents for French tanks, found this German tank design put forth by Wegmann. I've attached the tank image from the patent as well as the patent itself.
Did Wegmann ever build it or did it remain a patent design only?
Hi everybody
Anybody knows more about the german postwar 4x4 projects Transportpanzer-2 , Spähpanzer-3 and ATAK. Maybe anybody knows pictures of these vehicles ?
Here the prototype of the ATAK (P3 from EWK)

Here infos about the ATAK from EWK...
Found that profiles at my old mags. (Aviation & Marine International Sept. 1979)
The quality is awful (it can hurt your eyes) as it was a second hand magazine and I had no choice to get a better copy. Could any of our German members post decent drawings and brief data of the Bo 125? And can...
In the early to mid 1970's the German navy was experimenting with the navalization of both the Gepard SPAA gun system and the ROLAND-II surface to air missile system. I was wondering does anyone know if these systems were ever tested successfully and ever used? I remember seeing them in a old...
Developed as the first of the West German Army KW 90 vehicles in the 1980s (the others being the PZH 2000 and a new tank) was the Krauss Maffei Marder 2. The design won a competition in 1988 and two prototypes were built. German Army requirements published in 1984 were:
Same mobility as Leopard...
Probably no need to post more infos about this HS30 derivative, just
3 additional photos of the Kanonen-Jagdpanzer and another use of
the 90mm gun in the prototype of the "Spähpanzer mit Turm und 90mm
