BOOKS & MORE: Well equipped

It's high time to do something again. For those who have been languishing on the verge of extinction, when times change, they need a lot of stuff. And no, it's not about "militarization", but about procuring the essentials for a German Bundeswehr that is functional and works again. With the beginning of the Ukraine War, armament is once again moving into the societal spotlight of interest – and it is difficult enough for a layman to get an overview there.

For those who like videos, Clemens Speer's highly informative YouTube channel and his weekly reports are very helpful. For those who want to "study projects", his book "Rüstungsprojekte der Bundeswehr" is recommended, which summarizes the most important projects from the Army, Air Force, Navy to Cyber and Information Domain concisely and briefly.

"This e-book, as already mentioned at the beginning, is about the largest and most important armament projects of the Bundeswehr, in order to achieve the full equipment mentioned", Speer describes his project: "In total, this e-book describes 100 armament projects. So clearly more than, for example, the regular reports published by the Federal Ministry of Defence on armament matters. According to my research, it is the most comprehensive overview of the armament projects of the Bundeswehr, at least in the German-speaking world, if not worldwide. Nevertheless, this overview expressly does not claim to be complete. Because the number of individual armament projects runs into the thousands and would thus clearly exceed the scope of this e-book. In addition, there are some armament projects for which there is only very little publicly accessible information, which is not surprising and also understandable given the sensitive nature of the topic."

Because a table of contents says more than 1000 words, we are giving it to you right here:

CONCLUSION: An extremely exciting overview of procurements for the Bundeswehr, ideal for reading for people interested in armament or even just in technology or taking part in the development of the Bundeswehr. SPARTANAT reading recommendation.
