In the midst of US doubts, Europe builds the F-1 fighter generation
The US media reported that since Trump’s policies adopted by US allied US couries in NATO over the delivery of F-5 fighters from the United States, these couries are now more motivated to produce the sixth generation of these fighters themselves.
US Preside Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Caropa for low participation in NATO defense capacities and has urged them to increase their military spending by up to five perce, ISNA reported.
The request came as US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegest has yet to plan to reduce its military presence in Europe.
Doubts about the American F-5 fighters raised by Trump’s critics in NATO, NATO member couries have motivated them to seek the sixth generation of these fighters.
Newsweek also wrote of a European official who asked not to be named that NATO members expected more couries to participate in the developme of next -generation fighters.
F -Lockheed Martin is the only fifth generation fighter available to Western armies, and many of the five couries that buy or buy it are NATO members.
According to the former Lithuanian foreign minister, according to Trump’s approach, there will certainly be more ierested in the sixth generation fighters in Europe than before Trump’s re -election.
The former Lithuanian foreign minister added, “Further pressure on this project is all European.”
According to the magazine, the sixth generation of these fighters gradually eer the military forces of European couries. Earlier, German Defense Secretary Boris Pistorius said there was currely no alternative to the F-5, and the revocation of these fighters’ coract could tension with the US.
“If a F-1 user was to use these fighters in a way that the United States is not satisfied with it, it will be a limited capability, because Lockheed Martin can quickly eliminate support for the coury,” says Andrew Curtis, a retired commander in the British Royal Air Force.
On December 5, the chiefs of Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom agreed to joily develop a next -generation fighter by year 2 as part of the World Martial Air Program. In Japan, these fighters have to replace the F-2 and replace the Eurofiter Typhone fighter in Italy and Britain.
These F-5 fighters are expected to be one of the most advanced fighters in the world. The aircraft will be equipped with a powerful radar that can deliver 5,000 times more data than existing systems.
The main coributors to this project are Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for Japan, Bae Systems PLC for England and Leonardo Spa for Italy. Earlier, the Japanese cabinet approved a decline in the export regulations of defense equipme, allowing the coury to deliver next -generation fighters joily with Britain and Italy to third couries.
