Tyskland søger alternativer til kampfly efter FCAS-projektets afslutning

Efter afslutningen på det tysk-fransk-spanske FCAS-projekt undersøger den tyske regering flere muligheder for et nyt kampfly.

Forsvarsminister Boris Pistorius har udtrykt åbenhed over for et positionspapir fra Team Gen 6-alliancen. Den består af otte virksomheder anført af Airbus og har indsendt et forslag til Next Generation Weapon System til forsvarsministeriet. En anden mulighed er at tilslutte sig det britisk-italiensk-japanske GCAP-projekt. Leonardo-chef Lorenzo Mariani har betegnet Tyskland som en særligt værdifuld partner i denne indsats. Luftvåbensinspektør Holger Neumann har talt for anskaffelse af yderligere F-35-fly fra USA. Han pegede på et hul i kapaciteten efter leveringen af de sidste Eurofightere i 2035. Den belgiske premierminister Bart De Wever kritiserede afslutningen på projektet som værende fuldstændig tåbelig og spild af tid. Den tyske og franske regering annoncerede ophøret mandag.
