France 6th Generation Fighter Jet Shocked The Russia And China

The most important role in this ambitious French-German project will be played by two companies - Dassault Aviation, which created the Rafale, and Airbus.

By the way, why has France become the leading player in the program out of all European countries?

The fact is that the Fifth Republic is the only European country capable of independently producing modern fighters.

Germany, recall, was deprived of such an opportunity after World War II and built combat aircraft together with Italy and Great Britain.

There is also the Swedish Gripen, but its propulsion system is built around American technology.
