The German government currently has no plans to purchase additional F-35 fighter jets from the US. “There are no plans, there is no decision,” a government spokesperson told Reuters news agency on Thursday.
Previously, Reuters had reported, citing people familiar with the plans, that negotiations were underway to purchase additional F-35s. One insider spoke of 35 additional fighter jets. Government circles rejected any connection to the uncertainties surrounding the German-French-Spanish FCAS air combat system.
On Wednesday, Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) once again questioned the joint fighter jet project with France: “I would like to have this question clarified now: Will we still need a manned fighter jet in 20 years’ time? Do we still need it, given that we will have to develop it at great expense?” He said that Germany and France had very different requirements for such an aircraft.
Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) said he shared Merz’s skepticism. However, he added that this did not reflect any political discord with France. “This is a problem that exists between the industries, which we cannot easily solve.” Demands by Dassault to take clear leadership in the consortium with Airbus had shaken the hundred-billion-euro project. Joint drones and a combat cloud are to be further developed even after the fighter jet project has been scrapped.
At this stage it is a submissive kink, IMO. Bitchslap me daddy Donald.
Wonderful
So, nothing has changed. Merz doesn’t know if FCAS will pan out and doesn’t know if Germany should buy more F-35s.
Well then comes the question to mind: what are they going to use to replace the other 35 Tornados able to carry US nukes? Or do they just let this part of their air force shrink?
“someone” yesterday:
pssst, germany is gonna buy more F35’s
germany today:
no we’re not?¿
“someone” tomorrow:
psst, yes they will. trust me bro.
Yes they are. If their chancellor said that they don’t know if they need a 6th gen jet right now, it means that they’ll need something to bridge the gap until whatever is supposed to replace the Typhoon is ready (be it drones or an actual 6th gen jet). Therefore Germany is definitely considering ordering more F-35.
> There is no planning, there is no decision
The spokesperson simply said that nothing is decided yet not that they’re not considering it, considering something doesn’t mean yes or no. Therefore the headline is FALSE.
