Germany expects decision on new fighter cooperation by March 2027
Published
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius expects a key decision on the development of a new air combat system to be made by the end of March 2027. The decision concerns fighter aircraft and how countries will cooperate in their development.
The air combat system is a large and complex project. Its development requires a great deal of money, time and technical expertise. For this reason, countries must decide in good time what they will do together and what they will do on their own.
According to Pistorius, making the decision on time is important for Germany's defence. He wants the continuation of the project not to be delayed. The final decision has not yet been made, and the situation may change before March.
The matter is important for Finnish readers because European defence cooperation affects the security of the whole of Europe. Finland is closely following how the major European countries are developing their own air forces and what joint projects will emerge from them.
