The text reports that the German Army's new communication and control system is inoperable despite a cost of over 1.2 billion euros. It faces issues like unstable communication, interference in voice messages, inadequate range, and a non-functioning friend-or-foe system. The system is deemed risky for military personnel.
The claims revolve around the operational efficacy and cost of the German Army's new communication system. Evidence gathered does not directly substantiate these claims. The budgets and costs mentioned in the available evidence do not refer specifically to a communication system budget. There is a lack of specific verifiable facts about expenditures or the operational failures described. The evidence is mostly general and does not specifically confirm or refute the claims about the communication system's cost or technical shortcomings. Various general issues are mentioned, but none directly confirm the inoperability or cost of 1.2 billion euros of the system, or risks associated with its use. No external evidence specifically describes these claims. As such, the claims remain unsubstantiated by the provided evidence.
