Britain to Take Control of £12 Billion Sixth-Generation Fighter Program Spending, Defense Cooperation Faces Challenges

Without even having prototypes, they've already spent 12 billion pounds—truly a nation worthy of the H2S railway.

The Financial Times: The UK Treasury will directly take over expenditure control of the GCAP/"Storm" sixth-generation fighter project, which has cost over 12 billion pounds and faces risks of budget overruns.

As part of a total 15-billion-pound UK defense package, approximately another 6 billion pounds in funding is expected to be added.

This move is urgent—the interim funding for the trilateral UK-Italy-Japan collaboration project will expire on June 30. Without timely signing of long-term contracts, more than 4,000 engineers face potential reassignment.
