Airbus emphasizes the need for European countries to direct their defense spending to EU companies to minimize dependency on US military products. Michael Schoellhorn, head of Airbus Defence and Space, warns that relying on American-made defense equipment fortifies this dependence, especially in light of geopolitical uncertainties. The article highlights specific concerns regarding NATO alliances, exemplified by the Danish reliance on F-35 jets amidst tensions regarding Greenland. Calls for increased defense budgets in Europe suggest a growing recognition of security threats and the need for greater military autonomy in the region.
Airbus makes a range of military aircraft which include manufacturing the C295 transport aircraft and the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet.
If we spend extra money for defense on products off the shelf from the USA, we are cementing our dependence on others.
The Danes are seeing right now that this might not be such a great idea, if they ever needed to defend Greenland with their American F-35 jets.
Berlin must realize that Europe is under threat and too weak in this new era of history, both economically and militarily.
