UK ‘open’ to Germany joining next generation fighter jet programme, says Burnham伯纳姆表示,英国对德国加入下一代战斗机项目持“开放”态度。
Linus Terhorst, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, said Germany joining Gcap could be a positive move, bringing the project more financing and introducing economies of scale. But he suggested German entry could “disrupt” the programme if Berlin took a “confident” approach to negotiations, demanding a significant say in the design of the aircraft and the share of the project given to German industry. "There is always a risk of the project being taken back by a very confident approach to negotiations and a very German-specific set of capability requirements being brought in. “It will have to be very carefully managed.”

英国皇家联合军种研究所的研究员莱纳斯·特霍斯特表示,德国加入德国通用航空能力计划(Gcap)可能是一个积极的举措,能够为该项目带来更多资金并实现规模经济。但他同时指出,如果柏林方面在谈判中采取“自信”的态度,要求在飞机设计和分配给德国工业的项目份额方面拥有重大发言权,那么德国的加入可能会“扰乱”该项目。“如果谈判中采取过于自信的态度,并提出一套非常具有德国特色的能力要求,那么项目就始终存在被叫停的风险。因此,必须非常谨慎地处理此事。”
