Germany is back on the global defense stage — and this time, it’s armed with some of the most advanced military technology in Europe.
In this deep dive, we explore Germany’s modern military industry — from record-breaking arms exports to battlefield-proven systems shaping Europe’s security. After decades of underinvestment, Germany’s defense sector is surging, with €13+ billion in arms exports in 2024 alone, and technology ranging from Leopard 2 tanks, Eurofighters, Taurus missiles, to cutting-edge AI-powered drones and stealth submarines.
What you’ll learn in this episode: ✅ Why German arms exports hit record highs in 2024 ✅ How Gepard, Skynex, and Skyranger air defense are dominating drone warfare ✅ The battlefield success of PzH 2000 and RCH 155 artillery in Ukraine ✅ Why Leopard 2A6 / 2A7 / 2A8 remain Europe’s most popular MBTs ✅ The rise of KF51 Panther, Puma, Lynx KF41, and Boxer armored vehicles ✅ Germany’s lead in Eurofighter Typhoon production and exports ✅ Breakthroughs in HF-1, HX-2, TYTAN Interceptor, and Luna NG drones ✅ The Taurus KEPD 350 — Europe’s stealth cruise missile ✅ Why the Type 212CD submarines are redefining undersea warfare ✅ The global success of MEKO frigates (MEKO 200 & A-400 AMD) in modern navies
From Ukraine’s frontlines to global export markets, German military technology is once again in the fight — and in demand.
