>The Order of Malta is funded in part by Malteser International whose auxiliaries include: Military Corps, Air Force and Navy. Based out of Germany, they were a part of the military battles of the Crusades for 9 centuries. Their 2021 budget was 91.9 million euro. Additional funding for The Order is derived from Partnerships which include the UN, Bill Gates, USAID, The German Society for International Sustainable Development, WHO, WEF, governments – and others.
Well... What do you do with 100 million euros? It's not nothing, but when you talk about military stuffs... You talk about a military on a budget... Probably good enough to protect malta... Eventually... If you aren't attacked by superior military power of course...
By 2022 the value of a used Mi-24 in good condition is around $12.5 million... And it's not exactly the state of the art when it comes to attack helicopters, it's not shit I'm a big fan of that antic soviet monster https://youtu.be/rzNK_cRBcFE?t=68 , but it's completely outdated, and of course it doesn't include hidden costs, such as maintenance, weaponry, and pilots, trainings, fuel etc... An apache helicopter is 3 times that price, bare minimum... So yeah, for that yearly budget you get something like a madagascar army essentially https://www.globalfirepower.com/defense-spending-budget.php

Not the same as knights of Malta right? That's more likely a secret society
>Monsignor Pierbattista Pizzaballa of Jerusalem: His appointment as a Biship is also new – 2020. He is a member of the Order of Malta. The order claims continuity with the Knights Hospitaller led by a Grand Master. The Knights are part of a sovereign military order. It was the Knights Hostelier that annihilated The Knights Templar.
So same thing. I see
