Guests can expect an extensive exhibition area of the army, air force and navy. Modern large-scale equipment will be presented and insights into the capabilities and mission of the armed forces will be given.
Specifically, submarines as well as demonstrations of combat swimmers and mine divers, the large equipment of the army and air force with Leopard 2, the Puma infantry fighting vehicle, the Biber bridge-laying tank and the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system are to be expected.
Residents, guests and visitors are cordially invited and welcome.
