France and Germany were unable to continue their fighter jet project as German authorities decided it was not possible for the companies involved to continue, French officials say.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the project in Montenegro last week and concluded there was no way of breaking months of deadlock between the arms firms involved in the plan, the officials said.
Both leaders agreed that the countries involved in the project known as Future Combat Air System, or FCAS, would continue to develop a related drone system and data network, sources said.
