Germany may ditch £90billion fighter jet project with France in favour of UK deal AND allow Britain to sell Typhoons to Saudi Arabia - potentially saving 6,000 jobs
|
[DM] Germany is considering ditching a £90billion fighter jet project with France and joining a rival programme with Britain.
Ahead of a potential deal, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is in discussions about removing Germany’s veto on a delivery of Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Saudi Arabia, which the UK considers important strategically.
A pact of this nature would amount to a coup for the UK and reflect a progressively intensifying rift between Germany and France, with the two nations holding contrasting views on issues including diplomatic protocol, air defence and energy.
The fighter jet issue has left Scholz with tough choices that will factor in his nation’s alignment in Europe and worldwide.
He must decide whether to keep the Future Combat Air System (FCAS), a leading Franco-German-Spanish programme to construct the next generation of air power, which some analysts have hailed as Europe’s most significant defence project.
