Firstly it’s my preference since its virtually a 50/50 split in production and we are now off topic so please stop pestering me about what I want to call a tank 😂
As stated in my reply and given that KNDS is a conglomerate between KMW and NEXTER, this really shiuldn’t be a point of contention.
Its the same as if we would start saying the rheinmetall challengers
They are RBSL tanks (C3 and C2 RH anyway)
C3 and challenger 130 are rheinmetall tanks shrug
Its the same case as your nexter embt
I can’t wait until every jet with a capable rwr gets the ability to lock/slave sensors to enemy AD/Ground Radars
I would not care if it’s made by nexter or whatever, as long as it goes to both france and germany.
The project is called EMBT not FranceMBT anyway.
This is offtopic, and there’s a lot of people already bitching in the official EMBT thread, don’t spill out.

That’s the point…? KNDS is a conglomerate, so saying:
NEXTER EMBT
Is wrong. It’s a product of KNDS. So is this wrong:
since NEXTER produced the turret and KNDS produced the hull
KNDS produced the turret & the hull, or, to be more specific, its subdivisions, i.e KNDS France produced the turret, and KNDS Deutschland produced the hull.
You’re attributing just one of the parts of EMBT to “KNDS”, and trying to make the other look like it has got nothing to do with it by saying “Nexter” which is a nomem dubium since 2024.
I think we are getting a bit off topic here
Don’t want the thread to get nuked

I fail to understand why you’re talking about tanks in here… cut the off-topic.

What did Germany pay for the Eurofighters? The UK’s cost more than the price tag of an F-22 Raptor;
UK taxpayers will have shelled out no less than £215m for each of our 107 jets – that’s $350m at today’s rates, rather more than the US taxpayers have been made to pay for each of their 185 Raptor superfighters.
Article from 2011.
Why do you quote me?
Am I the MOD?
I did not mean to reply to the last post.
And yet you did…
Woops
Found an news article from the Bundeswehr, (tranche 4 EF)
5,5 Milliarden Euro für 38 neue Eurofighter freigegeben

145 million Euro per fighter is a massive improvement. I figured the Germans would have brought that cost down. Neat.
this isnt just 38 eurofighters though.
if you read the rest there will be 4 instrumented aircraft (IPAs or ISPAs, idk) and that will be expensive
7 twin seaters
extra engine[s]
bla bla.
the exact price of a single seater eurofighter without instrumentation is not known afaik
Yes generally procurement costs are not “per fighter” but still - this is how they split it up even when discussing F-22 or others. In fairness, the lifetime cost of the Eurofighter will be considerably less than an F-22 as the maintenance requirement between a stealth fighter and non stealth fighter is insane.
