Das Verteidigungsministerium will beim Flugzeughersteller Airbus 16 neue Transportmaschinen des Typs A400M bestellen. Damit sollen ältere Maschinen ohne taktische Fähigkeiten gegen neue ausgetauscht werden, sagte Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius (SPD) beim Besuch eines Airbus-Werks in Bremen. Man denke »sehr konkret darüber nach, logistische Flugzeuge durch neue taktische zu ersetzen«, wozu es »sehr gute« Gespräche mit Airbus gebe, sagte der Minister.

Die Bundeswehr verfügt über 53 Transportmaschinen des Typs, die vorerst letzte Maschine wurde im April an die Streitkräfte übergeben. 16 der Flugzeuge sind allerdings reine Transporter ohne sogenannte taktische Fähigkeiten, etwa zur Abwehr von Raketenbeschuss, sagte Pistorius. Deren Ersatz werde einen Milliardenbetrag kosten. Der Bundestag muss dem allerdings noch zustimmen.
