BERLIN, June 22 (Reuters) - Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) said on Wednesday it could deliver first F-35 fighter jets to Germany in 2026 and expects more orders for the aircraft in Europe as Greece and the Czech Republic have expressed significant interest.

"You'll hear more about it soon," J.R. McDonald, the vice president of F-35 business development at Lockheed Martin, told journalists at a news conference at the ILA Berlin Air Show trade fair.

As per some US senators Germany can replace Turkey as a partner in programme plans are Turkish F 35 wing plants to be shifted in Germany as Germany already have industrial muscle to carry out operations of F 35 wings manufacturing further

Lufwaffa already ordered F 18 from USA

I wonder who is supposed to buy eurofighter then ?

 

[BHAN85]

I dont see the point of buy expensive flying killing machines that can be remotely hacked by USA.

No one, with the kinds of political strings they attach. And without more sales of the Eurofighter, funding for the tempest project will probably slow.

They may be able to get Turkey if they give Turkey ToT on the Rolls Royce EF200 Engines.

The Germans need a platform to carry the B-61 once the tornados retire. The Stealth features of the F-35 make it an ideal candidate and gives German industry a platform to catch-up to as it hopes to create another platform with its European partners to sell to the GCC and provide jobs for the next 20-30 years.

The F-35 is replacing Tornado as a carrier of B61.

Serviceability of Eurofighters are pretty poor.

The new government appear to be a sell out to USA.

Yes forget security, the money can be used to subsidize purchase of EVs, shoes, foods, fridge.

Arrogant and useless comment.

Typical in people brainwashed by authority fallacies.

In a real war scenario you will get a dose of humility.
