Berlin: Germany is planning to acquire 15 additional F-35 fighter jets from the United States in a deal valued at around €2.5 billion ($2.9 billion), according to media reports.
The move is part of Berlin’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its defense capabilities and modernize its air force amid growing security concerns in Europe.
The F-35, developed by Lockheed Martin, is regarded as one of the most advanced stealth multirole fighter aircraft in the world, capable of carrying out a wide range of combat missions while integrating seamlessly with NATO’s defense systems.
Germany had already placed an initial order for F-35 jets in 2022, and this latest purchase signals its continued commitment to defense modernization and transatlantic military cooperation.
