Germany Will Germany leave the FCAS program to join the British GCAP Tempest?

[Huelague]

Are Germany and Turkiye ideologically incompatible? Germany is a liberal, secular country.

Yes, it is.

 

[Huelague]

Join what exactly? KAAN? The first block of KAAN will not even be a full-fledged 5th gen aircraft. The aim of FCAS or Tempest is a 6th gen aircraft.

TAI finished 5. generation aircraft. Means, they are working on the 6. Why not participate Germans?

France is successful because they sell their planes with little strings attached. Kinda similar to how Turkey deals with defence exports. Qatar, Egypt, UAE - all would have had problems with US or German involvement. Indonesia gave up on Russian jets and went for Rafale. Right time, right spot. And enough funds to develop a new aircraft on their own, they don't need German involvement.

The only reason we jump on rafale is CATSA...
Basically as long as not all americans .
