Christine Lambrecht, the defence minister, said the failure of the tanks was a “bitter setback” and that soldiers "must be able to rely on weapon systems being robust and stable in combat".

No new Pumas - the most expensive infantry fighting vehicle in the world - will be bought until the reliability issues are overcome, she said, before telling Nato allies that Germany would still meet its commitments to the Alliance.

Article (in German) with a bunch of detail on the Diehl IRIS-T derivative for the EU HYDEF projects. Interesting details include a multi-spectral (IR/RF) seeker and a possible air-breathing lower stage.
