FCAS (Future Combat Air System)

[ajamba]

Ahora dicen que no hay planes para incorporar más F-35A.

Me encanta Europa.

Tambien en todo esto, a parte del desacuerdo industrial y político, hay todo un entorno mediático de rumores, globos sonda, influencia etc…

[ajamba]

Pues no lo se señores, ¿ahora qué hacemos?, Suecia se está planteando unirse al GCAP y Alemania, un día dice una cosa y al otro día dice lo contrario.

Ya se que no os caen bien los franceses y eso pero...

Eso se dice de una manera tan evasiva, que se podría pasar un autobús por la puerta abierta.

I now see why it was evasive

Germany Planning 100 Percent Increase in F-35 Orders as European Stealth Fighter Program Falls Further Behind

The Germany Defence Ministry was reported on February 19 to be considering placing an order for up to 35 additional F-35A fifth generation fighters, doubling the number of the aircraft it plans to field, in response to the continued stalling of the pan-European Future Air Combat System (FCAS) stealth fighter program being pursued jointly with France and Spain. Discussions with the United States may involve more than 35 additional aircraft, according to informed sources cited by Reuters, raising the possibility that the F-35 could form the backbone of the German fleet as it increasingly has for a growing number of countries across Europe. The F-35 is the only NATO-compatible fighter of its generation in production anywhere in the world, which has allowed it to comfortably win every tender in which it has competed.

@dogg No me has entendido, si quiere comprar F-35 me parece bien, lo que no entiendo es que un dia diga que sí y otro día diga que no los va a comprar, o puede, o que no lo sabe...

[dogg]

Es un político, ¿necesita otra razón? La FCAS está en problemas y nadie quiere decir que se ha acabado y poner las cartas sobre la mesa. Examinarán todas las alternativas y tomarán 70 F-35 para llevarlas adelante hasta que se tome una decisión a largo plazo. ¿Quién sabe cuál será?
70 es un número viable que da para tres escuadrones de tamaño decente. Australia tiene 72.

India eyes 6th generation FCAS, looks at tying up with France for possible collaboration
Initial talks held on the possibility of India entering the programme that was started in 2017 between France, Germany and Spain to ensure European sovereignty in defence and security.

New Delhi: In what could be a major collaboration in the aviation sector, India is exploring the possibility of teaming up with France for co-development and co-manufacture of a futuristic sixth-generation fighter under the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) programme, ThePrint has learnt.

Initial talks have already been held on the possibility of India entering the programme that was started in 2017 between France, Germany and Spain to ensure European sovereignty in defence and security.

Me huele a maniobra de los franceses para sacar adelante su versión del FCAS, aprovechando el tirón del Rafale en la India, le sugieren a los indios el tema y luego los periodistas hacen de las suyas

[ajamba]

@rblazquez La posibilidad de un FCAS íntegramente español ya no me parece tan descabellada.

Necesitaríamos un partner para la fase de diseño y prototipo ¿Boeing, LM o Northrop Grumman?
