The race to develop the next generation of fighter aircraft is accelerating across Europe.
🇬🇧 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 The Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) has reached a major milestone after the United Kingdom, Italy, and Japan awarded a £4.6 billion development contract to Edgewing, the industrial consortium leading the project. The agreement keeps the ambitious sixth-generation fighter on track for the coming decade.
Meanwhile, 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 the long-running Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program has encountered serious setbacks following disagreements between the industrial partners, prompting renewed discussions about Europe's future fighter strategy and defense cooperation.
