In a remarkable move, five German prime ministers have written to Chancellor Friedrich Merz calling for a national solution to replace the ‘Fuchs’ armored personnel carrier. This initiative aims to strengthen the domestic economy and at the same time achieve security policy advantages for Germany. The Prime Ministers emphasize that a national armaments project could not only provide economic stimulus, but also strengthen Germany’s technological and security position.
The signatories of the letter, including Boris Rhein from Hesse and Hendrik Wüst from North Rhine-Westphalia, argue that previous considerations regarding an international manufacturer have not sufficiently taken into account the additional costs of a system change. They emphasize that the German defense industry has repeatedly demonstrated its innovative strength and reliability and should therefore be taken into account when replacing the ‘Fuchs’ tank.
A central point of the discussion is the combination of an armaments project with an economic stimulus for the German economy. The Prime Ministers see a national project as an opportunity to secure jobs and strengthen Germany’s technological sovereignty. This argument is supported by the fact that the Bundeswehr describes the ‘Fuchs’ tank as the ‘all-rounder of the German land forces’, which underlines its importance for national defense.
The demand for a national solution is also supported by the German defense industry, which has impressed people in the past with its innovative strength and reliability. The Prime Ministers emphasize that a national solution would bring advantages not only in terms of economic policy, but also in terms of technology and security policy. They are therefore asking the federal government to also consider purely national solutions when replacing the ‘Fuchs’ tank.
In addition to Chancellor Merz, the letter was also addressed to Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil and Economics Minister Katherina Reiche. This broad addressing underlines the importance of the issue and the urgency with which the Prime Ministers want to reach a decision on this matter. The discussion about the ‘Fuchs’ tank shows how closely economic and security interests are linked today.
