RED FLAG TORNADO: A Luftwaffe Tornado strike fighter takes off from Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, prior to the start of Red Flag 20-2. Photo taken March 5, 2020. Yes, it is a German jet that’s in flying condition. In 2018 the Tornado was “being retired” very slowly, but still had a better ready rate than the more modern Typhoons.

From that 2018 update:

When the Americans press Germany to meet its NATO obligations there are promises but no performance. Meanwhile, the United States spends nearly four percent of GDP on defense, accounts for 70 percent defense spending in NATO and is now telling the Germans that they can no longer automatically expect the Americans to bail them out when Germany comes up short in meeting its NATO obligations. This got some attention in Germany, but not a lot.

Burden sharing in still-free Europe? Poland and the U.S. take defense seriously.
