Dassault Aviation is seeking compensation from Airbus over procurement changes to the delayed Eurodrone programme, inflaming tensions after the collapse of their joint fighter jet project.

The FCAS project, intended to develop Europe's next-generation fighter jet, was abandoned after French and German companies failed to resolve disputes, despite political intervention.

An Airbus-led consortium has proposed developing a next-generation fighter jet following the collapse of the Franco-German warplane programme.

The failure of the European fighter jet project FCAS highlights structural weaknesses in the EU's defense cooperation, raising concerns about future multinational defense projects.

Following the collapse of the FCAS fighter effort, Airbus and a group of German defense and aviation companies have formed 'Team Gen 6' to develop a sixth-generation fighter aircraft.
