Germany Seeks New Partners for €100 Billion FCAS Fighter-Jet Program

Summary
Germany is looking for additional partners to rescue the €100 billion Future Combat Air System, a flagship European fighter-jet project now under strain.
The push reflects Berlin’s effort to keep FCAS alive as Europe faces rising security threats and deeper uncertainty about long-term US commitment to the transatlantic alliance.
FCAS was originally designed not just as a defense program but as a symbol of European unity, making any restructuring politically significant beyond the aircraft itself.
