"..the decision to procure the F-35 has been made. What this means for the Luftwaffe is explained by Generalleutnant Ingo Gerhartz.."
"...There was only one response possible to Putin's aggression and that was to show our determination to stand shoulder to shoulder with our NATO allies already operating the most modern warplane currently flying anywhere in the world. The decision to procure this jet strengthens our ability, together with our partners, to support NATO airspace and defend the alliance.

The Geschwader (Tactical Air Force Wing 33, abbreviated as 'TaktLwG 33' ) is based in Büchel (near Spangdahlem) and operates the Tornado IDS under its Kommodore, Oberst Thomas Schneider. The additional Eurofighters to be purchased will be operated in the electronic warfare role
