On December 4 local time, a confidential letter from the German Ministry of Defense to the German Parliament Budget Committee was disclosed by the media, which said that Germany planned to spend 10 billion euros to buy 35 US made F-35s to replace the existing Rafale fighters of the German Air Force. However, this arms transaction was questioned by the opposition parties in Germany, who worried that the purchase budget might be overspent, the delivery time might be delayed, and the airport where Germany planned to deploy these fighters was not ready. It is reported that German Defense Minister Rambrecht will discuss the deal with the German Parliament on the 5th local time. (Outlook New Times)
