Nice. More F-35 is good, and 35 was always a very low number for Germany
Gentle_Capybara on
European nations buying F-35s believe that the USA will be back to sanity soon? Or are they confident that they will reverse-engineer stuff if the shit hits the fan?
prueba_hola on
still buying more stuffs from the enemy?

Once again Germany leads the way in buying European systems.

6th Gen birds can’t come any faster. For now the f35s the best the west has to offer.

How many F-35’s does Europe realistically need against Russia?

Hell yeah, by next year the retirement age will be increased to 90 years old to pay for these planes.

“Well you know, the Germans they like our planes better because they are the best… So if Germany does not behave, we can switch them off, like that, as a King, I have that power.”

idiots , can’t they buy in europe.

If they do it to count towards a military spending, then it is better to cooperate with other EU countries and invest in 6th gen. The 5th gen will be old in a few years, considering what has been announced by China and America.

And that’s where our record debt goes to. Pensioners, social security system, international aid, and US of A. Meanwhile our own industry struggles to keep up and move their factories to Eastern Europe or even further.
We are so cooked.

Never buy a fighter when it’s kill-switch comes from the USA

I know they are buying more Eurofighters as well, but I do wonder – Do we really need more F35’s? The only opponent we might actually use these jets on is Russia. Do they have something that more Eurofighter Tranche 5 can’t handle?

Terrible. We cannot increase our military reliance on the US. Just because the F-35 is the best plane it doesn’t mean that we need it. Russia doesn’t even effectively have 5th gen fighter jets and this whole theory of nth gen jets and the strategy to deploy them has all been written by and centered around the American military industrial complex anyway. It’s not an absolute truth. If aircraft becomes more vulnerable due to better and cheaper missile technology, the solution is not to buy an advanced and expensive aircraft that is supposed to evade those missiles. The solution is to buy many cheap and dispensible aircraft and equip them with remote control.
The only reason why we might have to buy F-35 is for the US nukes but for that we don’t need them in large quantities.

Now we know why they need to raise retirement age, those planes are not cheap

It’s also made in Europe, and is genuinely the best stealth plane you can buy.
I get the anti USA thing, but Europe needs an option for this.

And few month ago the slogan was ” we don’t want to be dependent from the Us so Rearm program is using money to buy and produce only European “.
And now millions of euros to the US to buy American.
In the meantime discussions to tell everyone that Trump is not working for Europe, that is not good etc…
Good job.
