A very good article by Laura Pitel from the @financialtimes:
“The German government has been pursuing a stopgap or even an escape route from the #F126 should the price and conditions asked for by #Rheinmetall be more than Berlin can bear.
But any decision to formally terminate the project would signify that the €2bn already spent on it would be lost for good.
Last month, the government announced plans to buy four off-the-shelf #MEKO A-200 frigates, made by the German shipbuilder #TKMS, with the first to be delivered in late 2029. Costing about €1bn each, they are smaller and not tailor-made to German requirements like the planned F126s. German officials have not ruled out having both.”
