Germany Mulls Expanding Order for Submarine-Hunting Planes

Germany may buy four additional Boeing Co. P-8A Poseidon submarine-hunting planes, according to people familiar with the matter, as the first of eight already purchased landed in Berlin amid growing security threats from Russia.

If approved, the request from the Luftwaffe would make Germany one of the world’s largest operators of the plane outside the US. The people declined to be named because the matter is sensitive.
