France and Germany end fighter jet collaboration
France and Germany have decided to abandon the joint fighter aircraft development project, known as the "Future Combat Air System" (FCAS), due to disagreements between the French company Dassault Aviation and the German company Airbus. The goal of the project, launched in 2017, was to replace the French Rafale, Spanish, and German fighter jets, and to strengthen European defense cooperation in response to tensions with Russia and relations with the United States. Despite efforts to save the project, an understanding has not been reached between the two companies, although work will continue on other parts of the project. Both the French and German defense ministries plan to develop a new defense cooperation plan that includes realistic and relevant projects.
