I didn’t say that.
I said that there isn’t any br progression of any of those ships, a logical step forward would be something like the Gneisenau and Kron with the 38CM guns or Stalingrad, or Lexington or some other lightly armoured high calibre ship and then slowly rack up the armour. Although Gneusenau would be a level above the others.
Program started in 93 with france, germany and the uk.
France left in 99, netherlands joined in 01 when everyone was prototyping.
Britain left in 2003 and rejoined in 2018.
IIRC the UK pulled a dumbass move and left literally a few months before the unveiling of the first prototype, the mismanaged ingenuity of our defence decisions never ceases to be treasonous.

It seems strange how there is a Mirage 4000 in there even though only one was built
Is it? The suggestion thread says it is a modified SEPV2

The program started with Germany, France, Britain and the Netherlands in 1995. France left in 1999 to develop the french Boxer (VBCI), Britain left in 2003. The first vehicle was delivered in 2009. Britain rejoined the program in 2018. So yes, it’s mostly german.

I dunno they seem to have a great industry thing going for them, at least outwardly when it comes to export, look at when the UK tried to export stuff (Challenger 2E to Greece).
BAe did a better job marketing the the Gripen for Sweden than they did the bloody harrier.
but look at gajin doing a 180 and giving the boxer to israel because of the turret and it being their first IFV and spike carrier
Interesting
Wait, France started on the Boxer ?

The prototypes appeared the same year the UK left, the newer modules sure you can say things like the one with Rheinmetall weapons systems I concede that but the actual chassis still used British parts even after we left.
