Deutschland und Frankreich stoppen gemeinsamen Kampfjet FCAS

Die Entwicklung des gemeinsamen europäischen Kampfjets wird nach SPIEGEL-Informationen beendet. Darauf haben sich Kanzler Merz und Präsident Macron verständigt. Der Jet sollte den Eurofighter ablösen.

@noelreports How many, when, and are they upgraded versions or just old fighters? That will determine whether it’s an asset for this war. A squadron of upgraded Gripen aircraft equipped with Meteor air-to-air missiles would be a real asset. Older Gripen without Meteor is just another F-16.
@Dienstag, the bathroom was easier to clean than the cat. Partial success, I guess this will be her new color for a while. It was a new experience for us since she chose me to take care of her a year ago. Some scratches were involved.
She was white this morning but returned gray. I guess she found ashes from a neighbor's barbecue and thought it was a good place for a nap. A difficult bath awaits us.

@jakebroe that was also my first guess. Probably it’s not just one thing and it has a lot of confounding factors. Anyway it’s a reason for celebration, not everything is getting worse, some things improve despite our best efforts 😉

And this is just in the Middle East, never mind Africa and South America.

I have converted to e-books since 2011, but beyond the usual caveats on ownership, I really dislike the automatic change in covers when books are turned into movies or TV shows. I usually prefer the original cover art over the movie poster style (or lack thereof), and have no say in the matter. At least the choice to update to a new edition should be mine.

@matt_birchler it's much worse in Europe, and we didn't start this war. It's costing the EU 500 million euros (587 USD) a day, it doubled Russia's oil revenue, and the moron in the white house threatens us because we're not joining the war.

@realcarlallen, no one is the bad guy, probably neither of you meant any offense.
@realcarlallen He’s delivering on promises made. Only he can deliver these deals
