„our requirements are unique, we can not build a fighter together with France because it does not fit our requirements!“

Then they go ahead and want to buy standard American fighters… what a joke.

Wasn't the first batch of the new Gripen E delivered in 2025? Is there a newer version of the Eurofighter?

Because of nuclear sharing which would never really happen anyway. But it's a great way for the americans to say: "you got to buy our shit, we make sure nothing else is compatible"

For years social media has happily parroted the right-wing German media and screamed and screamed to get those corrupt conservatives back into office.

And now the same people complain about corrupt puppets doing corrupt puppet things... 🤣

Ohh okay, you are just going by first introduction, not latest model released.

Well, the bombs are already here, you can probably jailbreak them like an F-35. And AFAIK Germany didn't want to handover the plans for the Typhoon to get compatibility for the bombs.

The Typhoon gets upgrades too, latest model is called Tranche 5. Not sure about the official "release date", they haven't been built yet but are expected to be delivered in 2030 or so.

My guess is that as Dassault is difficult to negotiate with for the joint fighter program, they are pulling a 'look how unreasonable we can be if YOU don't get reasonable' stunt.
If so it makes sense

Strangely, German government seems to have a strong affinity Zionists and the uSA
