【Latest News: The Germany-France Joint Fighter Jet Project is Indefinitely Postponed】

On January 1, 2026, Berlin time, the German news agency "DPA" stated in a press release:

Citing a statement from the German government spokesperson, Germany and France have indefinitely postponed the decision to continue the development of the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) fighter jet project. The reason is that Germany and France have extensive agendas in foreign policy and security, and it is currently not possible to consider the issue of creating a joint fighter jet at the level of the German Chancellor and the French President. The further implementation prospects of the bilateral project are currently uncertain. We cannot now determine a new date for making a decision on this project.
