France and Germany scrap joint 100-billion euro fighter jet program

The Zioneer Intelligence Desk

Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 10:30

TL;DR

France and Germany have suspended their joint 100-billion euro Next-Generation Fighter program, launched in 2017, due to irreconcilable commercial disputes between Airbus and Dassault Aviation over intellectual property and technical control. The suspension is a blow to European defense cooperation aims.
