The panel is scheduled to meet June 23 to consider a raft of last-minute, defense-spending requests before lawmakers head into the summer recess ahead of the Sept. 26 federal election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As is the case with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2021\/06\/18\/german-defense-ministry-seeks-53-billion-for-next-fcas-research-phase\/\">other large military investments<\/a> awaiting a decision, the P-8 acquisition would exceed current budget projections. The Defense and Finance ministries are negotiating an out-of-cycle budget increase to provide the necessary funding of roughly 1.4 billion euros, or $1.7 billion, through 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. government\u2019s offer for the aircraft, dated April 5, comes in at 1.1 billion. Taxes, training, spares and support make up remainder of the request to lawmakers, according to the document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The German navy has long advocated to buy the Boeing-made Poseidon aircraft to replace the service\u2019s aging P-3 Orion fleet. Those planes\u2019 readiness rates are deteriorating so quickly that the navy believes it needs an interim solution before a new, joint program with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2021\/05\/04\/german-defense-ministry-dismisses-french-offer-of-pre-loved-submarine-hunters\/\">France<\/a> is expected to field new equipment in 2035 or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new spending request, obtained by Defense News, makes an elaborate case to defend the suddenness and inevitability of the P-8 pick \u2013 two key justifications for the kinds of creative budgeting that officials are proposing in the absence of money on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, officials cite an analysis earlier this year which found the P-3 fleet to be in such bad shape that only two of the aircraft would be usable starting in late 2023 unless the government sinks considerable money into upkeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding to the P-3 Orion\u2019s woes was \u201ctanking damage\u201d sustained by one aircraft last year that officials deemed too expensive to repair, according to the document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials also cite pressure from NATO to field sufficient anti-submarine capabilities. The alliance\u2019s Defence Planning Process had identified Germany\u2019s looming gap in aircraft to that end as an \u201carea of concern,\u201d the document to lawmakers states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">German defense leaders also want to jump on the P-8 offer because it came in lower than the amount they previously thought they would have to spend beginning in 2025, according to the missive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berlin hopes to catch the tail end of Boeing\u2019s Poseidon production run before the line stops in 2024, officials wrote. If lawmakers approve the plan this week, the five planes for Germany are slated for delivery in the first half of 2025, according to the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense analysts here have pointed to Russian investments in sub-surface weaponry as a key reason for Germany to field capable countermeasures. The country also has nascent ambitions to play a larger role in the Asia-Pacific region, with naval capabilities featuring prominently in those plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As is the case with other large military investments awaiting a decision, the aircraft acquisition would exceed current budget projections
