U.S. extends decade‑long advantage in sixth‑generation fighter jets after FCAS collapseExecutive summary: The U.S. is leveraging the collapse of Europe’s FCAS program to dominate sales of the F‑35 and advance the F‑47, securing a ten‑year lead in sixth‑generation fighter capabilities. The lead strengthens U.S. defense exports, undermines European aerospace ambitions, and influences global defense procurement strategies. U.S. aerospace firms (e.g., Lockheed Martin), European defense consortium (FCAS partners), European governments, NATO allies European states may re‑evaluate defense budgets and seek alternative collaborations, while the U.S. continues to push F‑47 development and export sales.The United States is aggressively selling the F‑35 despite known operational issues and accelerating development of the next‑generation F‑47, while Europe’s FCAS program stalled after Germany’s coalition fell. This shift reinforces American market dominance and raises questions about European defense self‑sufficiency. The development highlights broader strategic competition in advanced military technology.Connected developmentsVodafone launches cyber‑defense line to capture military spending surge in SpainEuropean technology dependence on the USA examined in Handelsblatt InsightOrange CEO sees ambitious growth plan for SpainLuis de Valdivia (Ecoener) augura una fase de crecimiento y rentabilidad virando hacia Europa y países OCDEStoccaggio della CO2, target 2030 a rischio in EuropaHalbleiter: Dieser US-Konzern könnte Europa von Chiplieferungen aus Übersee unabhängig machenOpen the full case file on Beyond →
