Germany is planning a major military procurement program estimated at up to €25 billion to enhance its armored vehicle fleet and strengthen NATO forces amid ongoing security concerns related to Russia. The plan involves purchasing up to 1,000 Leopard 2 main battle tanks and 2,500 GTK Boxer armored fighting vehicles over the next decade. This acquisition aims to equip up to seven new NATO brigades, each comprising approximately 35,000 personnel, as part of a joint European effort to bolster deterrence against Russia. The initiative follows NATO's request for Berlin to form these combat brigades to reinforce collective defense capabilities. The procurement is considered one of the largest armored vehicle orders in recent history and reflects Germany's commitment to significantly upgrading its military capabilities. Separately, major German companies including Siemens and Deutsche Bank are collaborating on an investment initiative designed to boost investor confidence and support sustainable economic growth in Europe's largest economy.
