Canada Eyes GCAP Observer Role in Next-Gen Fighter Initiative

Canada's defence minister said Ottawa is interested in learning more about the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) and could join as an observer, following talks with Japan's defence minister in Tokyo. GCAP is a tri-national effort by Italy, Japan and the UK to develop a sixth-generation fighter and related tech. The comments signal potential deeper involvement as Canada weighs its future fighter options, including a possible split buy between the F-35 and Saab Gripen.

Europe fights to salvage sixth-gen fighter tech after FCAS setback

German and Spanish FCAS leaders urge continued funding to preserve sixth-generation fighter expertise after Berlin and Paris dropped the fighter segment, warning that halting support would erode European capabilities; they advocate for a new multinational setup—potentially joining GCAP or an Airbus-led project—and keep the door open to partners like Saab, while Germany weighs options such as purchasing F-35s, GCAP membership, or a European-led program.

Mitchell Institute urges 500-strong sixth-gen air fleet to deter China

A Mitchell Institute policy paper argues the U.S. Air Force must field at least 500 sixth-generation fighters and bombers—300 F-47 fighters and 200 B-21 bombers—beyond the current plan of 185 F-47s and 100 B-21s. The analysis warns China could establish a western Pacific sanctuary, risking attritional warfare unless the U.S. can project long-range air power in force. It calls for interim steps: keep legacy B-1/B-2 until at least 100 B-21s are available, accelerate B-21 funding, boost F-35A and F-15EX purchases, and expand autonomous drone wingmen. To reach 300 bombers, the Air Force would need about 224 B-21s, given its 76 B-52s, alongside a one-for-one fighter recapitalization strategy.
