Airbus-led alliance lobbies Germany on fighter jet project

A defense industry group led by Airbus submitted a position paper to the German government outlining contributions to the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) project. The group, called 'Team Gen 6,' includes companies like Diehl Defence and MBDA, but the move is not a new project launch following the collapse of a previous Franco-German effort. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius acknowledged ongoing discussions about FCAS challenges without specifying next steps.
