And, by the way, PPC, Afghanistan is the largest foreign deployment of the German Army since the end of WW2.

Yeah, I figured. 1/3 of all troops abroad, right?

Also, funny thing.

Turkey got kicked from the F-35 program for buying air-defense systems from Russia. I think it was the S-400.

The S-400 apparently cannot lock onto Russian planes. Guess which country Turkey just invaded, and what kind of planes they use.
