The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) project in Europe is on the verge of collapse because France and Germany cannot reach consensus on too many aspects, and they are constantly arguing. So far, not only has the aerodynamic design of FCAS not been determined, but the project leader has also not been decided. Both France and Germany are now sticking to their own views, wanting the other side to listen to them, so the FCAS project can't move forward at all, and its failure seems almost inevitable.
At present, the only thing that France and Germany can agree on is keeping the combat cloud system in the FCAS project; nothing else can be discussed. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has not hidden the possibility of the FCAS project failing, without any intention of saving it.
