Time pressure, they said, to maintain the "nukleare Teilhabe". The existing license for the German carrier aircraft runs out, the Eurofighter'S licensing was endlessly delayed by the americans to make us buy their F-35 (r F-18, I am not certain wether the Hornet was also offered). The French-German cooperation on a new plane has collapsed or is close to collapse. A new fighter design is too many years away. 10+ years.
There is the Gripen and the Rafale and the Eurofighter. Which are the way to go regarding conventional armed fighters. I think the nukleare Teilhabe is sooner or later a thing of the past anyway. I think a new major update version for the Eurofighter is in devklopment, and far advanced in progress, I think I red that. We should go with that. The price of the EF drops the more are beign ordered.
We need to push the numbers.
Numbers matter. Lesson from Ukraine.
