(FILES) This photograph taken on June 18, 2023 shows a mock-up of the European New Generation Fighter (NGF) for the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) under development by Dassault Aviation, Airbus and Indra Sistemas during the International Paris Air Show at the Paris–Le Bourget Airport. Germany does not need the same fighter jets as France, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in an interview broadcast on February 18, 2026, signalling that Berlin could abandon a flagship joint defence project. "The French need, in the next generation of fighter jets, an aircraft capable of carrying nuclear weapons and operating from an aircraft carrier. That's not what we currently need in the German military," Merz said on the German podcast Machtwechsel. The Future Combat Aircraft System (FCAS) programme was launched in 2017 to replace France's Rafale jet and the Eurofighter planes used by Germany and Spain by 2040. (Photo by JULIEN DE ROSA / AFP)
