She is the pride of the German Navy: the frigate Hessen is a state-of-the-art military ship specially designed for air defense. Since 2006, the high-tech giant has been in service with a crew of 255. In the world's largest maritime maneuver, the "Hessen" trains as part of the U.S. aircraft carrier group in strategic interaction with six other warships.
The weapon carrier Wiesel is a small track vehicle of the Bundeswehr. Visually, it looks like a toy tank, but it's packed with firepower and power. The 20mm machine gun and the anti-tank guided missile TOW are dangerous weapons. The weasel was designed to be extra small and light so that it can be quickly brought into its field of application by helicopter and transport aircraft. It is probably the most diverse armored vehicle in the Bundeswehr.
Life on one of the most modern submarines in the world is not for the faint of heart. The tasks of the crew push even the hardened soldiers to their limits.
