Summary
Germany and France have abandoned the joint development of a sixth-generation fighter jet under the FCAS program. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius acknowledged the project's failure, attributing it primarily to tensions between the two major industrial partners involved. He stated that with current knowledge, the project would not have been launched in its original form, but denied that this decision would create tensions in bilateral relations between Germany and France.
