Alors que la question de la dependance au materiel militaire americain est au coeur des discussions, Berlin annonce conserver sa commande d'avions de chasse aupres de Lockheed Martin.
Despite criticism and debate regarding reliance on U.S. military equipment and potential control over the aircraft, Germany confirms it will proceed with its order of F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin to replace its Tornado fleet. The purchase, costing 10 billion euros for 35 aircraft, aims to maintain its role as a carrier of U.S. nuclear warheads. While other countries are reconsidering their F-35 orders, Germany dismisses concerns about remote deactivation ("kill switch").
