Political Turbulence Grounds European Fighter Jet Meeting
The trilateral ministerial meeting to discuss the development of a European fighter jet involving France, Germany, and Spain has been postponed due to a political crisis in France. The project, involving Dassault Aviation, Airbus, and Indra, faces challenges around workshare and intellectual property rights.
A meeting between defense ministers from France, Germany, and Spain regarding the European fighter jet project has been postponed amid a political upheaval in France, as confirmed by a German defense ministry spokesperson.
Originally planned for mid-October, the meeting aimed to overcome current obstacles experienced in advancing the FCAS project. However, following a governmental transition in France, the timeline has shifted.
With France's President Macron in search of a new prime minister after the resignation of Sebastien Lecornu, the meeting awaits rescheduling until a new French defense minister is in place to discuss the future of the collaborative military initiative.
