Israel: Teure U-Boote
(18.01.2022)
Die israelische Zeitung Haaretz berichtet, der Preis für drei in Deutschland bei ThyssenKrupp bestellte U-Bote sei deutlich gestiegen: „In 2017, the government signed a memorandum of understanding according to which the Defense Ministry would purchase three submarines at a total cost of 1.8 billion euros ($2.05 billion), based on a 2016 price estimate. The German government agreed to cover a third of the cost of the deal, some 600 million euros. […] A few months ago, […] the Germans had raised the price of the vessels to 3 billion euros, and […] the German government had not increased its subsidy. Israel, which originally was to pay 1.2 billion euros, was now required to pay 2.4 billion euros.” (jw)
