With the already announced 280 KF-51 Panther (with 130mm), the restoration of the original plan of 120 F-35 and 120 Eurofighters, the newly delivered aircraft carriers, the delivery in the next few years of 4 huge DDXs and the new agreement with Baykar for the drones, Italy is aiming to be the European country with the best armed forces

I hope you can beat Ethiopia this time. But somehow I highly doubt so.
Oh the 2 best friends at it again 😀
German-made, all built in italy????
UI looks nice, what platform does this game come out on?
Wait.. this is serious?
Damn, that’s 15 million a pop, pretty pricy for an afv
Nice to see european countries work together. But pls no switching this time
The best armed forces? So who are they going to hire to drive these machines?
Oh look, apparently countries *can* buy european and even get technology transfers instead of throwing billions at 2nd best Korea and the ameritards.
Built in Italy…few…so we are safe as long as it’s not 23°C and dry weather.
nice so that means the italy tech tree in war thunder gets another Lynx, amazing.
more buyers means more owner of said vehicle wich in turn means a higher chance something dumb getting leaked again.
sadly they are not 240 Eurofighters and sadly we still rely on Israel for things like air defence
but at least this is something
Made in Italy, I presume it has a gearbox with 14 speeds back and 2 foward as well as the possibility to display a second flag to switch sides just in case
Getting the band back together
Let’s fucking gooooooooo. I love Europe, simpl’as.
Let’s finally have a European Army, shall we?
Luv’ me Mare Nostrum
Simple as
Italy better military than Barry.
German engineered, Italian built. What can possibly go wrong?
I’d love to see more of these types of purchases in the future.
Hey! I got Rheinmetall shares. Going nowhere but up anyways, but thanks, Italy! We appreciate your business!
The four new nfs submarines are also being built

Sounded interesting until you reached the “built in Italy” part, after that I just felt sorry for you guys.
European nuclear program when??
This headline is contradictory. How can it be both German made AND built in Italy? Fabrication in Germany, and assembly in Italy? Did German win the big one after all?
German made, built in Italy.
Both those statements can’t be true.
When switching sides once is not enough:
16 variants, so they can fight for additional 15 countries at once.
Nice. Military integration is the key for a more succesful Western Europe.
I love seeing europe invest in its own military!
Why do Italian tanks have rearview mirrors?
So they can see the battlefield!
