Marea Britanie deschide ușa Germaniei pentru participarea la dezvoltarea unui avion de luptă de ultimă generație

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham expressed openness to Germany joining the GCAP program for a new fighter jet, following talks with Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The GCAP partnership, involving the UK, Italy, and Japan, aims to develop advanced military aircraft. Speculation about Germany's participation increased after a rival Franco-German project failed. The program allows for varying levels of involvement from other nations, with Canada already joining as an observer. Experts see Germany as a suitable partner due to its increased military budget and existing collaborations. However, Japan may require further persuasion for expansion, while some defense industry representatives warn that adding new partners could delay development.
