🇩🇪🇺🇸🇪🇺 BREAKING: Germany has reopened a major debate over fitting its next-generation F127 air-defense frigates with the U.S.-made AEGIS combat system and SPY-6 radar, amid rising concerns over Europe’s growing dependence on American defense technology. Reports say German defense circles are increasingly divided between combat-ready U.S. systems, offering proven NATO interoperability and rapid deployment and a push for a more European controlled alternative to strengthen strategic autonomy. However, shifting away from AEGIS could bring delays, higher costs, and capability gaps, especially as Germany accelerates naval modernization. The core dilemma: Operational speed vs. technological sovereignty. Source: Defensayseguridad







Europe has no "long-range strike capability". That's expensive. European governments simply expected the US to pay for it and bring it to Europe for free when Europe needed it. Is Europe now developing its own "long-range strike capability"? Of course not... that's expensive.
