The latest German fighting vehicles don't work ...
... at least they didn't until Rheinmetall bought into Vickers (or BAE or whatever it is called these days) to get their hands on British technology.
I saw on TV last year that many aircraft and ships are also unfit for purpose. Vorsprung blah blah blah.

If your head is on the floor, looking up at the rest of you ... they have arrived.

Always breaking down, underpowered for their weight, dodgy, unreliable transmissions... They had a few things going for them though - great armour, great gun, great layout, great comms, AND... they LOOKED the business, a very formidable appearance. Sounds like they've not learned much in 70 years. Oh, the Leopard... I was forgetting that!! .
