Krisenfall BUNDESWEHR: Wie kaputt ist sie wirklich? I frontal

The German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) are in crisis: for decades, cuts have been made everywhere. Ministers have changed, and the problems have grown. Defective tanks, a lack of ammunition, frustrated soldiers. And yet, major challenges lie ahead. Germany has promised NATO several fully equipped divisions for collective defense. There's even a substantial sum available for new equipment: 100 billion euros, the so-called special fund. So far, the Ministry of Defense has only spent a fraction of this money. Procurement projects have been bogged down in bureaucracy for months. The plan to fully equip the army by 2025 is in danger of failing. _______________ Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:00 Inside the Bundeswehr 03:28 Confidential Reports 05:38 Political Failure 06:34 Insufficient Equipment 10:53 What Happens to the So-Called Special Fund? 12:37 Outro _______________ Authors: Nils Metzger, Ulrich Stoll Camera: Frank Vieltorf, Markus Zergiebel Editing: Marcus Dippner, Florian Conrad Narrator: Meike Krüger Art Director, Graphics: Nicolas de Leval Jezierski Graphics: Marie-Louise Stoll Head of Social Media Cine Impuls Leipzig: Veronika Prütz Team Cine Impuls Leipzig: Lisa Goldberg, Dirk Nebel, Pia Schindler Managing Editor Cine Impuls Leipzig: Rita Kundt Producer Cine Impuls Leipzig: Anke Kossira Managing Editor frontal ZDF: Kyo Mali Jung, Christian Rohde Editor frontal ZDF: Karin Schilling Head of Content frontal ZDF: Kyo Mali Jung _______________ Songs in the video: “Drama Boom” - Nick Phoenix, Thomas Bergersen “Rate of Return” - Mell Wesson, Nineoneone “Reversal Dinner” - Mell Wesson, Nineoneone “The Fog of War Soundtrack OST” - Philip Glass, Norman Morrison “Laying Low” - Marco E.
