Germany to buy US F-35 stealth fighters
Germany is seeking to buy a consignment of US F-35 fighter jets to replace its aging Tornado fleet, the German Defense Ministry has told parliament. The decision comes after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz last month announced a massive boost in defense spending as the Ukraine conflict forces Berlin to reassess its foreign and defense policies.
Announcing an increase in military spending, Chancellor Scholz said the German army would receive $113 billion for investments and armament projects.
Germany plans to buy up to 35 of the planes, sources said.
The F-35 is considered the world's most modern combat aircraft. Its unique shape and outer coating make the jet difficult for enemy radar to detect.

No idea if their pilots can fly them or how useful they would be in current war.
Maybe just grasping at straws here.
