BELGIUM SHUTS MERZ: FCAS Sixth-generation Fighter Project Declared ‘Dead’ | World News

Описание: Belgium’s Defence Minister Theo Francken has publicly criticised German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over remarks on nuclear deterrence, urging European leaders to exercise restraint in discussing sensitive security matters. Merz suggested German fighter jets could carry French and British nuclear weapons, sparking concerns about a shift in Europe’s nuclear posture. The exchange comes as debate intensifies over Europe’s strategic autonomy ahead of French President Emmanuel Macron’s upcoming speech on nuclear policy. Francken also warned that the Future Combat Air System programme could collapse, highlighting growing divisions within Europe’s defence framework.
