Economical:
Germany earns a lot of money by selling subs or fregates to South Korea, Greece and South Africa. Germany is the third biggest exporter of war technology with 9% after USA (30%) and Russia (24%), but Germany also buy war technologiy, for example in 2012 Germany bought drones for 40 million euros from the USA.
Teenager:
In Germany a few of teenagers are very interested in military technology. A few have pro arguments and a few have contra arguments. I asked a few of my classmates and they answered: “It’s good for protecting us but sometimes the weapons are used for bad things.” or “Maybe it would be better when no country have weapons ore tanks.”
Government:
The government could defend themselves and the country if somebody attacks Germany and they could help other countries if they get attack by terrorist.
Traditional:
A tradition is that Germany exports military technology to Africa or poorer countries. They also export military technology to countries which have war like Syria.
