Given how costly a 5th generation fight is to R&D, prototype, manufacture and maintain the question has to be asked. Can those three fund it? Germany won't fund its own airforce enough money to keep it flying. More European posing for the press I think.
Germany? What are they going to provide, the broom sticks.
But...but...but...it looks just like the Turkish fighter unveiled yesterday, which looks just like the Chinese fighter, which looks kinda like the F22/35.
