German-French cooperation to build the next MBT is running deeper into a dead end. I'm not sorry to hear that, I never liked the sharing by KMW with Nexter. The French should build fighters, the German tanks and conventional submarines, the Bris nuclear submarines, the Swedes IFVs and stealthed naval units. Something like that as a job-sharing. These international cooperations for one and the same platform make things expensive and take more time. Lets distribute projects amongst nations in the NATO and EU, but keep one project fully under one nation's responsibility. Germany simply does not need the French cooperation on tanks, its a purely political motivation behind this.
When I was student, I HATED work groups. Inefficient to the max, and afterwards I nevertheless still had to relearn everything myself, others cannot learn for you. Waste of time. In companies the idea of brainstorming sessions and group meetings are loosing ground, too, I red some months ago.
