I'm not in the market for fighter jets right now, but thanks for the info.

This topic is mostly centred on how this affects the job market in Germany and France.

If I were to buy a fighter jet I would definetly buy it from France so that would help the local market

I agree with the comments here, I subscribed for european products and alternatives for me to buy. I don't want my feed filled with news articles :/

This is likely to cause drama in the comments.

I just don’t get the relevance of this article for my buyer’s decision making.

It’s not like I’m going to buy my personal Future Combat Air System elsewhere. Neither will I boycott D’Assault and buy my 4.5th fighter jets at SAAB’s outlet.

However this does affect which options your country buys. That’s your taxpayer money.

That’s why it is discussed in political communities 🙂

Buying European is political.

On a very different level.

This is a general european community focusing on the market.

My mistake.

Didn’t know peeps here are in the big arms market now. I’ll carry on.

How are you supposed to form a citizen's militia to do your civic duty without being to able to contend for air superiority?
