Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP)

I mean, the Tiger heli was pretty successful I’d say (even if outdated nowadays), but that is very much the exception

@Rambolf

anything that combines germany and france in one project always fails

I knew from the start something similar to this would happen with them.

@Kir

Would probably be Germanys best choice, even if we only get some privileges to modify it ourselves in exchange for money, but afaik Tempest and FCAS are designed for very different doctrines, so not sure if our military would be happy with that solution. Doing it ourselves (or maybe just with spain and maybe Sweden, dunno if they already have a project going tbh) would probably take too long or be too expensive.

Also, according to Reuters the meeting is currently scheduled for the 11. December

It would. Even if Germany wouldn’t want to join, there isn’t much else they can do as far as I’m aware. Unless for reason they decide to join whatever’s concept Sweden is on to right now, at this point I’ll just have my fingers crossed waiting for their meeting.
