And Belgium would like to join them. The Scaf might be the successor, for us, of the F35 aircraft.
Friday the government asked to be an observer of the SCAF program, a kind of preliminary status, to discuss with the 3 large countries before possibly integrating the program in its own right.
But, because there is a but… not everyone wants Belgium. Dassault in particular, the French company that is at the helm of the project. Its boss Eric Trappier has still not digested that Belgium chooses the F35 (American) as a fighter plane instead of its Rafale.
The Belgian Minister of Defense will have to convince. In the end, it is the German, Spanish and French governments that decide.
Ludivine Dedonder will therefore meet them at Le Bourget. AND the sooner Belgium manages to integrate the development program, the more there should be economic benefits for the Belgian industry, while the F35 was bought “turnkey” in the United States, with little involvement and contracts for companies with us.
