There is no longer any doubt that Germany will be forced by the United States to acquire the F-35 from Lockheed Martin to carry out the nuclear mission within the framework of NATO. A mission that has been confirmed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
The purchase of the American F-35 fighter plane by Germany is now apparently inevitable. If this decision is surprising and irritating, it will not be a war machine against the European program, the future air combat system (SCAF) launched by France, Spain and the Germany.
Everything will depend in particular on the number of American aircraft purchased and what will be the mission or missions of the F-35. New German Chancellor Olaf Scholz offered three leads in a major speech to the Bundestag on February 27 on Germany's defense policy. Three tracks where he had assured that his priority was to build the next generation of combat aircraft ". Which is a very important statement for the sustainability of this program, and beyond that, Europe's sovereignty in combat aviation.
And at the same time, Olaf Scholz had indicated that he wanted to continue to develop the crucial electronic warfare capabilities on the Eurofighter and that he saw the F-35 as the platform that could carry the B61, the NATO nuclear bomb.
