Germany is exploring options to push ahead with the development of its next-generation fighter jet without France should industry partner Dassault Aviation SA continue to insist on a controlling role in the program.
I think it’s important to remember that this is a move away from a single unreliable choke point. For the F35 (probably the best fighter available right now) that’s the USA, newly unreliable. Making Dassault the new choke point is as good as the company is reliable, and “not being able to play nice with peers” is not the best start.
