Japan, on the other hand, has been developing its own home-brewed six-gen stealth fighter, to replace the, known as the F-X. It is not known if Sweden will be part of the GCAP effort, whose costs will be in the tens of billions of dollars.
A competing FCAS European consortium, led by France and Germany, are working on their own stealth aircraft, the Dassault/Airbus New Generation Fighter , slated to be battle-ready by 2040. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is visiting a Royal Air Force base today to launch the first phase, said the country needs"to stay at the cutting-edge of advancements in defence technology – outpacing and out-manoeuvring those who seek to do us harm."
He added:"The international partnership we have announced today with Italy and Japan aims to do just that, underlining that the security of the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific regions are indivisible. The next-generation of combat aircraft we design will protect us and our allies around the world by harnessing the strength of our world-beating defence industry – creating jobs while saving lives.
