I’m not sure being beholden entirely to the french is that much better than being entirely beholden to the US. Plus Rafale just doesn’t meet the same sort of mission requirements that are fulfilled by something like the F-35. And the French and Germans have been expertly torpedoeing any joint EU fighter project from within too so…. I don’t see things improving any time soon

I had a German military plane fly at low altitude overhead today, and I said to my family “these are our friends”

Emmanuel, tell that insufferable Dassault boss to zip it, otherwise there won’t be FCAS.
You’d think this project to be too important to be derailed by an “eccentric” CEO (yet again!), but here we are.
Airbus Germany is already looking for alternatives for the unmanned fighter jet project, which IMHO is the the most important aspect of FCAS anyway. Airbus has the lead on the unmanned aircraft, while Dassault has the lead on the manned fighter jet.
But now there are rumours that [Airbus Germany is going to cooperate with Saab (Sweden)](https://www.hartpunkt.de/bauen-schweden-und-deutschland-gemeinsam-ein-unbemanntes-kampfflugzeug/) to build an unmanned aircraft, independent of FCAS, as both countries need those type of unmanned aircraft ASAP to integrate them in their air-forces, to complement the Eurofighters and Gripen fleets.
Even if you have a finished product, you need years of training, need to find ways to coordinate attacks with unmanned drones – all of that takes a lot of time and time is running out.
Wasn’t this the plane that got knocked out of the sky in Pakistan by a chinese j-10 fighter?

The Rafal is beautiful but India losing one or maybe two isn’t inspiring

I’m not the most well versed in fighter jets, but is that not somewhat outdated as a model? I mean I’m sure it’s fine but not sure why it’s coming up now, if anyone could enlighten me?

It’s ok if we don’t copy any of the shit Trump do, like really. This is cringe, the whole french gov online communication is cringe. First the awful “ia pov short”, now this. No one wants that.

As much as I love my country, I’m afraid million euros planes in a drone war, and human pilotes in front of AI swarms, feel like a replay of when we sent horses against german tanks.

Plus, today the [Eurofighter producing nations announced that they are going to increase production numbers](https://www.hartpunkt.de/eurofighter-nationen-wollen-die-produktion-hochfahren/) from 14 to 20 jets a year and even 30 in the longer term. So it’s not just Dassault that Europeans can call, monsieur.
