<p><strong>The country will spend around $40 billion on military equipment amid economical hardships</strong></p>

<p>Germany is planning to spend $41 billion on military space equipment, including spy satellites and offensive lasers, the head of the nation&rsquo;s Space Command, Major General Michael Traut, has told Reuters.</p>
<p>The move is part of a rearmament push that Berlin says is necessary to counter Russia and China. The EU&rsquo;s biggest economy, however, is grappling with what the government has described as a <em>&ldquo;structural crisis.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>Germany plans to spend $582 billion on defense by 2029, in line with Chancellor Friedrich Merz&rsquo;s vision of making the Bundeswehr the <em>&ldquo;strongest conventional army in Europe.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>In an interview published on Tuesday, Traut said the procurement would include more than 100 encrypted surveillance satellites, as well as lasers, sensors, and other systems designed to disrupt enemy satellites and ground control stations.</p>

<p><em>&ldquo;Space has become an operational, or even warfighting, domain, and we are perfectly aware that our systems and space capabilities need to be protected and defended,&rdquo;</em> he said.</p>
<p>In 2008 and 2014, Russia and China proposed a global treaty banning weapons in space, but the initiative was never adopted, largely due to opposition from the US.</p>
<p>Germany has announced the defense spending increase amid a recession, with the country&rsquo;s central bank warning last year that the government is on track for its largest budget deficit since the early 1990s. In August, Merz said <em>&ldquo;the welfare state as we have it today can no longer be financed.&rdquo;</em> He later urged Germans to work more, arguing that labor costs were too high and productivity too low.</p>
