🇩🇪 🇫🇷 Germany Formally Withdraws from Franco-German Fighter Jet Project
Germany and France have effectively terminated the Next Generation Fighter project, the centerpiece of the €100 billion FCAS program. The collapse follows irreconcilable disputes between Dassault and Airbus over intellectual property and workshare distribution.
This failure represents a significant setback for European strategic autonomy ambitions. While the broader FCAS framework for combat clouds remains, the core sixth-generation fighter initiative is now defunct.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz informed President Emmanuel Macron of the withdrawal during a meeting in Montenegro. Merz proposed that Germany, France, and Spain continue working together on the combat cloud software architecture. The project was originally intended to replace Rafale and Eurofighter fleets by 2040.
