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 countries in NATO over the delivery of F-5 fighters from the United States, these countries are now more motivated to produce the sixth generation of these fighters themselves.
US President 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 percent, 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 countries 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 countries to participate in the development of next -generation fighters.
F -Lockheed Martin is the only fifth generation fighter available to Western armies, and many of the five countries 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 interested 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 enter the military forces of European countries. Earlier, German Defense Secretary Boris Pistorius said there was currently no alternative to the F-5, and the revocation of these fighters’ contract could tension with the US.
“If a F-1 user wants 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 country,” 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 jointly 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 contributors 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 equipment, allowing the country to deliver next -generation fighters jointly with Britain and Italy to third countries.
