New announcements made about German Tornado replacement. However, Germany's F-35 Lightning II procurement seems to be in another spring.
Tornados, one of the legendary planes of the Cold War, will be replaced by another aircraft. German Ministry of Defence, which is carrying out the new aircraft procurement program, did not shortlist the F-35 Lightning II aircraft. The last two candidates were the Eurofighter Typhoon and the F / A-18 Hornet family. Last year, the German Air Force Commander told the need for a ”European“ solution to be preferred.
