BERLIN, Sept 5 (Reuters) -

The German government plans to seek parliamentary approval

for some 80 defence projects by the end of the year, including

for the purchase of additional Eurofighter jets, Patriot and

IRIS-T SLM missiles, according to a document seen by Reuters.

The document lists 81 defence projects that surpass the

threshold of 25 million euros ($29 million), beyond which the

purchases need to be approved by parliament's budget committee.

The list includes the so-called tranche 5 of Eurofighter

jets, which according to former Chancellor Olaf Scholz was meant

to comprise 20 aircraft, as well as Puma Infantry Fighting

Vehicles, Boxer Armoured Personnel Carriers and many other

weapons.

It does not specify the number of systems to be acquired

or what company produces them.
