Modernization of Individual Soldier Equipment: In addition to ballistic and load-bearing gear (), the comprehensive deployment of modular backpack systems and new combat uniforms for active-duty soldiers was completed in the year — six years ahead of the original schedule.

It is the new standard-issue rifle of the German Bundeswehr, designed to replace the currently in-service rifles. This new rifle sets a new benchmark in terms of shooting accuracy, reliability, and modularity.

The new off-road motorcycle of the German Bundeswehr is the Yamaha (), which demonstrates outstanding performance. The first batch of motorcycles was delivered to the Kummersbruck Driver Training Center at the beginning of the month.

All-terrain (unprotected transport vehicles) trucks have proven their worth in the German Bundeswehr. In 2022, Germany ordered over 1,000 trucks, marking one of the largest truck procurement contracts in history. These trucks come in various body configurations and can be equipped with armored cabs as needed.

In the year and month, the new medium armored ambulance "Eagle" was delivered to the German Bundeswehr. As a replacement for the "Duro Yak," this vehicle plays a crucial role in the medical evacuation chain for the transport of wounded personnel.

The German Bundeswehr has officially ordered "Wolf" light armored vehicles, with the potential for the order quantity to increase further. As the successor to the "Wolf" armored vehicle, this new model will provide the German military with a powerful and reliable next-generation equipment.

The "Wolf" light armored vehicle is also the first vehicle to come standard with the new Land-Based Combat Digital radio and command system.

The German Air Force's "Arrow-" missile defense system is capable of intercepting ballistic missiles above the stratosphere. The radar, a component of the "Arrow-" system, was deployed in 2021.

The (Directional Infrared Countermeasures) system installed on transport aircraft can blind incoming infrared-guided missiles, thereby ensuring the safety of the aircraft.

The largest combat aircraft of the German Bundeswehr—the anti-submarine patrol aircraft—entered service in 19XX and is used by the Naval Aviation for reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare missions in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.

Recently, the German Navy received the "Sea Tiger" helicopter, an advanced multi-purpose shipborne aircraft specifically designed for anti-submarine warfare.
