Germany Sticks to F-35 Purchase Despite Concerns

Defense Minister Boris Pistorius reaffirmed Germany’s commitment to purchasing 35 F-35 stealth fighters from the United States, despite concerns over dependency on U.S. military technology under the Trump administration.

The €10 billion package covers aircraft, maintenance, spare parts, and munitions.

Reports of a possible “kill switch” that could allow the U.S. to disable the jets remotely were dismissed by Germany’s Defense Ministry, stating:

“There is no way to shut down the F-35 remotely.”

Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger warned against canceling the deal, saying:

“We have no comparable alternative. Walking away could harm Germany’s reliability in defense partnerships.”
