Mediators fail to salvage troubled European FCAS warplane project, report says
Mediators tasked with salvaging the troubled European FCAS warplane program have failed to reach an agreement and produced separate final reports, the German press reported Saturday.The FCAS program is a flagship joint effort to build a next-generation combat aircraft between France, Germany and Spain, and is seen as a bellwether of European defense and security cooperation.But the multibillion-euro project has faltered as disagreements persist between France's Dassault Aviation and Airbus, which represents Germany and Spain.
