Decision taken under US pressure!
‘German industry must deal with this issue on an equal basis and not leave everything to friends in the US,’ said BDLI President Martin Kroll. However, Kroll also recognized that the involvement of German firms could increase the cost of the acquisition and the US could take advantage. In March this year, Germany decided to buy the F-35. It is believed that during the Ukraine war, America has created pressure to buy weapons and that is why this deal has happened.
Germany will replace Tornado planes
The decision to acquire the F-35 was taken when France, Germany and Spain have superior fighters through their joint Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme. During his presidency, Donald Trump had described Germany as an ally of America and said that defense spending should be increased to reduce the financial burden on America. America’s F35 will replace Germany’s Tornado fighter aircraft.
Berlin: By attacking Ukraine, Russia has increased the threat across Europe. In view of this, Germany is now engaged in strengthening its army. Germany has decided to buy America’s F35 fighter jets. This decision of Germany has given a big blow to the local defense industry. On the decision to buy fighter jets from the US, local defense industry contractors said the deal would only increase dependence. The profits that should have gone to domestic producers will now go to America.
