The failure of the German army to modernize the helicopter fleet.
The German Army's plan to modernize its helicopter fleet faced a number of technical problems that would prevent the modernization of this fleet at the predetermined time.
In 2023, Germany signed a contract to purchase 62 H145M helicopters from Airbus Helicopters, and in 2025 it activated the purchase clause for 20 additional helicopters of this type. 24 of these helicopters were to be equipped with anti-armor capabilities in order to satisfy some of the combat needs of the German Army in the period before the introduction of the main replacement for the Tiger helicopters.
