Germany is considering purchasing up to 1,000 Leopard 2 tanks and up to 2,500 GTK Boxer armored combat vehicles as part of efforts to strengthen Europe's defense capabilities and form new NATO combat brigades to deter Russia.
According to reports, these weapons will be used to equip up to seven combat brigades, which Germany plans to create over the next ten years as part of its commitments to the North Atlantic Alliance. This mobilization of resources indicates a serious restructuring of the German army (Bundeswehr) and an increase in its combat readiness in the face of the worsening geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe.
The cost of this purchase may amount to about 25 billion euros, which indicates the scale of the planned changes and Germany's long-term defense commitments. According to Bloomberg and other sources, the purchase decision is related to the need to modernize the armed forces and adapt to new threats, especially after the events in Ukraine and NATO's increased attention to the eastern borders.
In addition, these plans are being implemented in the context of broader joint European initiatives aimed at creating rapid reaction strike groups, strengthening air defense systems, developing logistics chains and coordinating actions between NATO member countries.
Taking all this into account, we can say that the actions of Germany and other EU countries really demonstrate purposeful preparations for a possible strategic confrontation with Russia, even if official statements are often limited to formulations about "deterrence" and "ensuring security."
