German Bundestag confirmed an above-plan Bundeswehr budget line
As the brief logged it
The underlying PDF resisted clean text extraction twice, so the exact line-item wording is [TIMESTAMP UNVERIFIED for content, CONFIRMED for the Drucksache's own 2026-07-15 date] — this is a Tier-1 structural signal (a named budget caption about commercial operator/cooperation models), not yet a confirmed policy shift. SES/GovSat remain excluded from both SatcomBW4 and Spock 2 per standing doctrine; this line item doesn't reverse that on its own, but the specific "operator/cooperation model" framing is worth a retro read of the unredacted Drucksache text to check whether it signals any commercial-satcom sourcing appetite beyond the two primes' consortia.
