They’d better hope Pakistan doesn’t have sny FPV drones.

Okay replace EU with Europe

I think this will happen eventually, but we have immediate threats which need to be countered with what’s available today, we can’t wait 20 years to do something about them.

Well yes proving a negative is usually not possible. In this case maybe it is but it would be such exhaustive work that no one would probably trust the result anyway.

That’s never been verified and pretty much every European defense expert has stated that it’s not the case.

As opposed to what alternative? Do you have a European 5th generation stealth fighter bomber in your pocket that you’ve been keeping secret?

Obviously having an EU alternative to the F35 would be ideal, but it will take a long time and a lot of money to develop. For now there isn’t another option.

Good to see UK step up in this regard, Europe needs to bolster its own nuclear deterrent independent of the USA as the USA is no longer a trustable partner.
