I’d just pull Germany and Spain over to GCAP and let France do a Rafale with FCAS tbh. The French have always been a PITA to work with on military aircraft.
Never saw PITA in the wild before though I have often thought about using it but found it’d be too cryptic but, hey, you proved me wrong.
French always are a PITA whatever subject they address
It’s because France wants a carrier plane and Germany have no use for it. If UK (carrier) Italy (small carrier) Japan (small carrier) join, the extra money for development could allow for 2-3 variants like the f-35, that would make everyone happy
Even FCAS is at its breaking point because France and Germany cannot agree. Merging the two would ensure that nothing is build in the end.
