minus-squareSapphironZA@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·3 days agoThe problem is Germany had too many small special weapon programs. Wire Guided anti-ship missle Jet fighter/bomber Rocket fighter ICBMs and cruise missles Mini land ship Not so mini land ship Vtol aircraft Many many duplicate projects of the above.
