A major crisis is unfolding in the European next-generation fighter jet project!

The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) project is at risk of being shelved due to disagreements between Airbus and French Dassault. This situation creates significant uncertainty in Europe's defense industry.

Eric Trappier, CEO of French Dassault, criticized Airbus's working system and announced that they would produce the next-generation fighter jet independently. This raises significant uncertainty about the consortium's future.

Trappier argued that he should have the right to choose subcontractors and emphasized their opposition to the joint production model. This situation raises questions about Europe's defense cooperation.
