Served for nine years in NATO Headquarters in Belgium and Sarajevo, specializing in intelligence and information security. Participated in military missions across Africa, the Americas, and Europe. Lecturer and speaker on topics such as jihadist terrorism, migration challenges, and maritime security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Everything seemed to be on track: each country responsible for a third of the next-generation fighter jet program. But France, through Dassault, wants more. It is now demanding 80% of the design and production of the sixth-generation FCAS fighter. And this is no rumor\u2014Reuters confirmed it, and Dassault CEO \u00c9ric Trappier has doubled down: if things don\u2019t go their way, they are ready to go it alone.<\/p>\n<p>Why this bold move from France? The same old argument: experience. They\u2019ve already developed the Rafale, and that supposedly gives them the upper hand. They call it \u201cthe principle of the best,\u201d but in practice, it sounds more like: \u201cwe lead, you fund.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Germany Strikes Back: More American F\u201135s<\/p>\n<p>Berlin, no stranger to France\u2019s unilateral moves in defense cooperation, responded quickly. It is now \u201cconsidering\u201d an additional purchase of 15 F-35s, on top of the 35 already ordered. The message to Paris is clear: if FCAS collapses, Germany has alternatives. And to increase the pressure, some German military and political voices are already referring to FCAS\u2026 in the past tense.<\/p>\n<p>But this is about more than just aircraft. Germany\u2019s Defense Ministry is reportedly growing weary of French intransigence. Politicians like Christoph Schmid are warning that FCAS risks becoming \u201ca French-led project financed by others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Can FCAS Fail? Absolutely. And Faster Than Expected<\/p>\n<p>The FCAS is more than a fighter jet. It\u2019s an entire ecosystem: a manned aircraft, accompanying drones, a combat cloud, sensors, and more. It requires trust, collaboration, and a shared long-term vision. At the moment, none of those are present.<\/p>\n<p>If France imposes its model, Germany could walk away\u2014potentially dooming the project within months. Phase 2, set to begin shortly, might be halted indefinitely. That could delay the aircraft\u2019s entry into service until 2045\u2014or beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Spain: Silent\u2026 But Directly Affected<\/p>\n<p>Spain holds a one-third stake in FCAS and has already invested over \u20ac1 billion. It plays a key role in sensor development, electronic warfare, and radar signature management\u2014led by Indra, with crucial participation from Airbus Spain.<\/p>\n<p>But if the project stalls or collapses, Spain currently has no plan B. The Air Force\u2019s Hornets are nearing the end of their operational life. The Eurofighters still have years ahead, but they don\u2019t cover the full spectrum of capabilities. And unlike Germany, Spain has not purchased a single F-35.<\/p>\n<p>If FCAS fails, there\u2019s no domestic alternative\u2014leaving Spain dependent on the U.S. or falling (far) behind technologically. It would also mean losing industrial ground and strategic influence in European defense. The very idea of \u201cEuropean strategic autonomy\u201d would suffer a major blow. Once again, we\u2019d rely on the U.S. for something as fundamental as defending our own airspace.<\/p>\n<p>What Now? Three Possible Scenarios<\/p>\n<p>Several outcomes are on the table:<br \/>\n1. France pushes ahead and launches the project largely on its own, with minimal support from others. FCAS becomes a glorified Rafale upgrade. The project loses its European character.<br \/>\n2. Germany and Spain walk away, each going their own way. Berlin with the F-35s, Madrid trailing behind without clear direction.<br \/>\n3. All parties step back, reset the negotiations, and sign a new agreement. Today, this is the least likely\u2014and the only path that could truly save FCAS.<\/p>\n<p>In the background, a new idea is gaining traction: a merger with GCAP, the British-Japanese-Italian sixth-generation fighter project. Impossible in the short term\u2014but less impossible than before.<\/p>\n<p>What Can Spain Do?<\/p>\n<p>Spain must demand that the original agreements be upheld. It cannot afford to be a second-tier partner. At the same time, it should quietly open a channel with the United States to explore a limited purchase of F-35s\u2014just in case FCAS falls apart. It wouldn\u2019t be the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, Spain must defend its defense industry. Indra, Airbus, and dozens of other firms are already developing critical technologies for FCAS. That know-how must be preserved and protected.<\/p>\n<p>FCAS was born as a symbol of European sovereignty in defense. Today, it stands at a crossroads\u2014trapped between the ambition of some, the skepticism of others, and the passivity of the rest. If this trajectory isn\u2019t corrected soon, there will be no European fighter of the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00d3scar Ruiz Migration Expert and International Analyst A career military officer in the Spanish Navy Marine Infantry with over 30 years of experience.
