An email from the commander of the armored division shocked the German Ministry of Defense recently. The email claimed that the "Jaguar" infantry fighting vehicle of the force had serious technical problems during the training exercise, and 18 fighting vehicles were lying in a group. Embarrassed, these vehicles and their armored infantry brigades were originally planned to join NATO's task force to prevent Russia from the beginning of 2023. According to the website of the British Times, this "failure of all staff" incident will weaken the composition of this leading force of NATO. According to a report by German news agency on December 17, during a training exercise involving 18 combat vehicles, the combat readiness of these vehicles "dropped to zero" within a few days. According to the report, Major General Ruprecht Butler, commander of the 10th Armored Division, wrote an e-mail to the leadership of the Federal Defense Forces and the Ministry of Defense, which caused a great stir in the Ministry of Defense on the 16th: the reason was that the 37th Armored Infantry Brigade of Major General Butler was originally scheduled to be equipped with these vehicles from the new year to participate in the NATO High Readiness Joint Task Force. The general wrote in his letter that the last two operational "Jaguar" combat vehicles were "lying down" due to turret defects one and a half hours after the drill. According to the report, the electronic equipment of this high-tech combat vehicle is particularly prone to problems. A serious cable fire occurred in the cockpit of one of the vehicles. This email was first exposed by Der Spiegel, a weekly magazine in Germany. The email said that the military had known about these defects before, but they "never occurred with such frequency".
