ILA Berlin Opens Amid FCAS Collapse and Iran War Shadow
Germany’s ILA air show opens under the twin shadows of the Iran war and the collapse of the FCAS program, underscoring Europe’s struggle to build military capacity as Airbus eyes Saab for future collaboration, leaders weigh the fate of a manned sixth‑generation fighter, and Berlin rolls out a 15‑year aviation strategy amid rising defense spending and NATO concerns; the event brings hundreds of exhibitors as industry reshuffles and protests reflect the push to accelerate re-armament and compete with the United States.
