Cancel F-35
It cannot be operated independently.
Thatβs it.
Since the US is a belligerent antagonist to all European values, this is a no brainer.
Buy European
Gripenπ

This uninformed pie in the sky thinking is not helping the situation.

The french fighter "Dassault Rafale" is not, only a small part that can also be manufactured in Europe itself.
Sorry intrusive thoughts
We now cannot trust the US.
In fact, the US is our biggest threat right now...literally.
Gripen, however... it's not just that Gripen would be shot down before it even knew a F-35 was around. It has nowhere near the production capacity to serve Europe's needs.

Europe's nations has the technology and in silence many have made the preparations trough the decades, some might even have the bomb itself, even no ICBMs. It's fucking 1940's tech.
Nukes for EU!π
In the face of necessity anything&everything's possible
& must.
High altitude air defense systems. Mobile rocket launchers with range. Solve. Takes time thou, so meantime millions of drones. All kinds. Artillery shells. Optical fiber.
The f-35 is the least successful weapons development in recent times. FYI, that expensive stealth will be obsolete in the near future. π¨π¦πΊπ¦π¨π¦
Yeah. Dump f-35 for sure.
- US engine.
- Short range.
- Low weapons load.
You should buy Eurofighter or Rafale now.
For the future, buy into GCAP (Tempest) for a 6th generation fighter.

We can't go fully independent from the US in this department, not in short nor medium term.
What need to do is to invest heavily into European military aerospace industry and start producing all parts within Europe.
Europe needs to begin building everything without anything American. Biden prohibited French and British from letting them allow Ukraine to use their long range missiles. Trump will do that with everything as Israel & the Swiss do.
look the component of the engine......they r all from USA
if trump wanna cut the spares, in few months all the fleet could be unable to fly.........
If someone know different please tell
I can't believe LMT (Lockheed) stock is not cratering. I suppose once orders start being cancelled is when this will happen.
Let the Rafales of the wind of freedom blow the US traitors out of our homeland
We should keep it simple
The Gripens use American engines and the US just stopped Columbia from buying them. If we cancel our F35 plans again the Americans would 100% stop us from buying Gripens instead.
So, we'd have to go with either Eurofighters or Rafaels.

The days when Europe trusted the US with anything close to national security are bygone days.
