“I informed the Chancellor of our openness to Germany joining the GCAP,” Burnham said.

"This is what we aim to promote in the near future, working with our other partners - Italy and Japan", - said the British Prime Minister.

At the same time, a representative of the German government told the agency that the decision on Germany's participation in the new fighter program has not yet been made. According to him, Berlin is “at a very early stage of reassessing its options” and is considering various possibilities. At the same time, Merz, as the official noted, prefers the European solution, rather than the independent development of a new aircraft by Germany.

As Ukrinform reported, in June, German Federal Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius officially announced the termination of the implementation of the joint German-French project of the sixth generation fighter Future Combat Air System (FCAS) due to differences between industrial partners.
