I read Germany has about 90 ready to be decommissioned but capable Tornado fighters being replaced by F-35’s. If they are serviceable capable jets why not send them all to Ukraine at the very least it would save him having to trans get them to the aviation junk yard. NATO will send fighters eventually but to late Scholz will make sure of that dragging his feet and wasting as much time as possible, that man is a total Dick Head.

these aircrafts are highly specialized to transport nuclear bombs. unless you plan to transport nukes you cant use them.

Germany also has Tornadoes, which are multirole aircraft. While very old, Germany could still send those if Ukraine wanted.

Tornados are for the nuclear deterrent and a couple roles eurofighter cannot currently perform.

Next to logistical issues for such old jets, the tornadoes are used in the nuclear sharing program. So by delivering them to Ukraine, Germany would give up its (already limited) nuclear deterrent in a time where risk of nuclear escalation is higher than it has been in many decades.

Let’s be honest, no country would do this.
