German air force winglam

The German air force is facing major problems with the Eurofighters fleet.

Der Spiegel even holds only four aircraft that are fully deployable for NATO missions, for example. According to the magazine, the problem is a defect in the cooling of a sensor in the wing that is vital for a system where enemy aircraft can be traced. The problem was discovered half a year ago and apparently still not solved.

Due to the defect, Germany can not actually fulfill its NATO obligations. The country has registered 82 aircraft for crisis cases.
