Boeings F-47 lægger nyt pres på Japans GCAP sjettegenerations jagerflyplan
U.S. Air Force budget documents show F-47 research funding will top $5 billion in FY2027, rising to nearly $5.3 billion in FY2028. Japan, the UK, and Italy have awarded GCAP’s first joint contract, but Tokyo remains concerned about delays and the 2035 retirement of its F-2 fighter. Japan’s defense ministry warns reliance on foreign suppliers could threaten operational control.
