@aurelius.m Dreaming.

@viktorsundberg3101 Gripen uses US tech, too.
7
Too late, bro. And no one in EU will sacrifice his country for Ukraine or the Baltics...
5
 @Damogen Europes role was to legalize usa actions against international law.
5
@clausholm4130 Well, not you will decide that.
4
 @kevinh5349 And you are smart. But be realistic, there were zero security threats in Europe in the last decades.
4
@rogerkarlsson3996 Also Europe had its big opportunity after the collapse of the USSR and it missed it. From Lisboa to Vladivostok, if you remember. Europe is lost completely.
4
@ajkulac9895 Russia is just fine for what they are doing.
3
@sgjoni Cute. USSR left Europe volunteerly. I am curious when US occupation of Germany will end.
3
@sergelecluse0001 The American disconnect? Cute. Europe thinks it has a word in power politics.
3
@miknew20 About the American disconnect? I see disconnect from reality by Anders, inside the MSM echo chamber and wishful thinking + speculation related. Europe cannot do anything alone, Ukraine lost (even with US help it is done except with Nato boots on the ground when everybody loses). But Europe will do what US tells to do as Europe overall has no own foreign policy, just blah blah and whining in this case before they do what US wants them to do.
3
@memirandawong So you are still spending your life in an echo chamber.... from the video: 'Russia is losing the war...', 'Russia is collapsing' ....God, people in echo chambers have such a short memory... 2 years old video.
3
@wrongun635 When there are no arguments, Nafo has this magic word.
2
@billbradley4878 And the US has a point here: showing who is the boss. But even in cold war the US was the boss, of course that time there was a more real threat in Europe than now.
2
@ajkulac9895 Can, but could not give support. The number 1 problem is the manpower issue. Time to deal with the reality: Ukraine lost.
2
@DuckFonaldTrump And now go back to 2008: ukraine wants no nato, keeps its neutrality declared in their base law in 1991 and keeps everything: territory, minerals, cheap gas from Russia, all of their markets, etc. And no millions of wounded and dead and a sold out country. And if you have not seen this in 2008, or at leats in 2014, you were completely misinformed.
2
@FatBobGer I still remember how Mr. Orban was attacked in 2015 about the failed migration policy of the West...
2
@smartin_b5314 I suggest to take a look on other development timelines. No way to get a combat ready mass produced F35 level 5th gen in 15 years and for that time F35 will be way cheaper and way better.
2
@memirandawong Without bias?
2
@memirandawong You are not too familiar with facts then. :)
2
@memirandawong Facts require verified incoming data, which is pretty much not available at all. Speculations we have mostly, Occams razor, etc. Facts... not really. Some of the things get verified with time or historical archives left unaltered could help, but for real time events including politics... no way for having facts or being unbiased for typical people.
2
@memirandawong Just roll over his video titles... this guy suggested Russia blew up Nord Stream...no one with a single brain cell thought this by common sense....but objective and unbiased, eh? :DDD
2
@memirandawong Objective opinion or how you call it - should be based on facts. When not supported by facts, it is called speculation. Guy was wrong on 3 cases in that video based on his bad judgement and lack of objectivity. I was right on all of the 3 mentioned cases 2 years ago. Everybody called me a Putinist and here we are. Experts failed because of biases and lack of common sense. As a hobbyist I was proved right. It is possible to guess some twisted reasoning behind everything and sound like an expert, but Occams razor + Cui Bono helps a lot.
2
@memirandawong You do not disagree with my thinking, you do not think. A fact is a fact. Objective itself, no opinion needed. Water boils at sea level at 100 degree celsius. That is a fact, no need to be objective, no need for opinion. Expresses itself. It is true, water does not care about your objective or subjective approach.
2
@memirandawong Bias=not studying, examining, communicating something from an objective, neutral approach. Anders is the typical example for that. If you believe him and you are happy with the result you paid for, enjoy it. But he is speculative and heaviliy biased. But for recognizing that you need to be out of the msm echo chamber or face with his failures. And here comes the psychological aspect what typically makes it impossible for the most of people: recognizing when they are wrong.
2
@memirandawong I could not change your mind, only you could do that. Emotions are usually stronger than arguments. This is how typical human minds work. And I do not plan more arguing as it is pointless. Just think about the NS blow up video. Was it factual? Was it based? Was it objective? What became true in 2 years from the speculations? Have a nice day.
2
 @neptune5728 Europe has no top level military aviation industry.
2
@PandemoniumMeltDown The US does not allies militarily. They need allies to legalize US actions.
2
@gameburn178 European tech in some areas are top, in some areas definetely not. All pretty overpriced although for its capabilities... And do not forget, even Turkey has an own 5th generation fighter for now while we still make joke from ourselves with Gripen and Raphale.
2
@gameburn178 Some fields Europe could make quick developments. But to be honest, it is a tough question and I do not think it is viable by any means. US will never let Europe be neutral or independent. Also Europe is divided, France will always goning on its own way. I have no idea, even for a theoretical case. The good stuff is typically from countries Europe would never buy from. How an F35 could be replaced if real competitors are not available in serial production except of China? Who has Apache level attack helicopter besides Russia? Who has Patriot level AA besides Russia and China?...ok, for this Israel is a player, but Israel is US in many aspect. Europe could produce top MBTs and IFVs at least. So I do not know. But it is also hypothetical, US will never let EU off the hook.
2
Also no nukes and Europe is divided, no joint control. You would give power to Annalena BrainBlock?
2
@Belisarius277 UK nukes does not matter, France will never give their nukes under EU control. Russia has about 5000 nukes, US , too. France has how many? To be honest Isr.eal is a more serious country when it comes to army than any European player. And even they are dependent on US with the aviation.
2
@pantalaemon Adults? Funny guy you are. I suggest study geopolitics and history.
2
@giacomolg Check your numbers. USA could replace European contributors in F35 relatively easiliy. Top 1 contributor is UK, they are like the 51th state of the US, not Europe.
2
@giacomolg Europe had no fear from Russia until the US started messing with Russia. And still has no threat from their side, although Europe would deserve it as we acted like fools (not every country). Russia and Ukraine should be natural allies of Europe, parts of Europe.
2
@alcosound We do not even specifiy 6th gen, still under debate. And Europe needs an own 5th gen fighter, just never will happen. Europe is sold out to the US, long ago.
2
@diatonicdelirium1743 Relax, US will never let Europe alone completely. They need Europe for bases, for meat and for being the battlefield instead of their own country.
2
@Belisarius277 Well, China started working on the numbers of their nukes. UK nukes are US nukes as UK is under US control. That leaves France with 200 missiles. And Europe - if want to look like an equal player- should be able to deter even the US, not just Russia or China... Good luck with that.
2
@Belisarius277 And I suggest to study Russia nuclear development and maintanance. Even in their worst period after the collapse they spent money on that and working on development. Big mistake to underestimate Russia. Also overestimate.
2
@Belisarius277 BTW I suggest to study why France became nuclear power, why De Gaulle wanted so badly.
2
@davidmacbayne :)
2
@davidmacbayne I love this European dreaming about power...
2
@giacomolg I think I meant the real proportion of the F35 development by Europe, but I am not sure for now as I see some of my com.ments was deleted, so maybe yours, too.
2
@giacomolg Europe cannot defeat Russia. There are not just military factors, but political, cultural, etc. But the good thing is that Russia is not a threat to Europe. UK is special even among the other vas.sal countries. Total puppets. In some rare cases Germany had guts in the past, France was always sceptical over the US dominance in local politics. One of the good things about De Gaulle he saw the threat. But see the context everywhere, see the motivations, strategies, long term effects. Europe navigated itself to a total loser position. Saying it as a European.
2
@giacomolg Europe had multiple attempts in the past for joint development, bigger ones failed miserably. France, Germans, Uk (when they were in EU) had different approaches. Happened with aviation, with mbt development, etc. Europe has a high level know-how in many areas, but never acts like a single country. That makes development pricey and also logistics. And there is the who is the boss problem.
2
@giacomolg I told 20 years ago that Europe goes completely in a wrong direction with the lack of its own development. In that time I believed in an EU army, somehow overcoming on national interests.... not anymore. I would vote my country out of EU rather than putting my trust in Ursulas and BrainBlocks or Kallases. That ship sailed.
2
@giacomolg BTW I completely agree that military development has many great effects on technologies, economy, etc. in a country or continent. It is like space programs. It costs a lot, but gives hitech. BTW where is the CPU and GPU manufacturing in Europe? Our own operating system? We are giving all of our data to the US all the time.
2
@giacomolg See what China does: developing everything. Own CPUs. They could compete with the US. To a degree, at least. But US is lucky by every means. They will be around all the time. Braindrain, lucky location, decades always in war. Experience. All type of power.
2
@kentknightofcaelin4537 Nato without the USA is weak. Very weak if US military hardware is not an option anymore.
2
@hungryghost3260 Canada has no security threats at all. Literally almost anything does the job.
2
@viktorsundberg3101 I lost that hope. EU not even represents its own population anymore, nor the leaders of the countries. I never thought they will c3nsor everything, while the base of democracy is free speech.
2
@Bengastar Sarcasm hopefully. Democracy based on different opinions.
2
@MS-Fin1917 You say pro-russians. I say anti-war or anti-usa.
2
Will work if Putin agrees. He will not.
1
@syproful Very true. Respect for Finland and Switzerland where military has respect.
1
@Kiii33333222 They should be deployed to defend borders.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 You now nothing about China, that is clear.
1
@matthewhuszarik4173 Western country leaders defend US interests, too.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 I have no idea what I replied for. I tried to find it, read some of your comments. in many things we agree. I do not agree that Russia is a threat to Europe at all which is a point our opinion differs. But I have a feeling it was about tech/miltech capabilities of China why I disagreed.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 Russia since the collapse of the USSR was not a threat at all. It begged to be part of Europe both politically, economically and militarily. It was rejected by the USA. Documented how the US decided not to help them in integrating. After Putin realized there is no place for them, they kept the economical integration mostly as a cheap and reliable partner. Worked very well. Also declared his sphere of influence, but not played tough. US never take him seriously.
1
I deliberately not mention Europe in these things as Europe is a US vassal when it comes to foreign policy.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 Russia had no intention to take Moldova. It has the intention to have Transnistria, but as you probably know, independence of Transnistria was helped both by Ukraine and Russia.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 Russia uses its own Monroe doctrine, wanted neutral countries around in key areas. Ukraine was a problem when in 2008 its Nato aspirations came up by US suggested way. Remember, in 1991 Ukraine got its approval for secession as a neutral, non blocked country, even Budapest Memoranda was based and signed on that spirit.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 After the events in Ukraine Baltics could be a problem as they have i.d0ts, not politicians. Nato would do nothing for them imho.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 But I do not think there is a real threat.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 Now China: I know the issues you wrote about, I also could add the submarine development to that. But: Chinese Flankers fly with Chinese engines since a while. I do not know the real capabilities of the Chinese 5th gen fighters, but I think you do not know either. What I see is that making a 5th gen is not some huge dev if there is knowledge in resources overall, they seem to be pretty fine to me. Of course I do not think that they are better than US planes by any means. But quantity matters a lot.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 Also AI drone tech based on their own hardware is inevitable. They have their own industry for that, not like Russia.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 I also think that Russia shares almost everything with them by now.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 China is not a threat to the West. They are a bigger threat to Russia than to the world. but they could coexist with anyone.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 And this is the comment gets deleted almost all the time: the biggest threat to the world security is the US. They move the puppets everywhere, going from one war to the other. They were behind the Ukraine conflict, too. And they reached their 4-5 decade old plan for now: completely cut the ties between Europe and Russia.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 Because Europe plus Russia combined would have been a real challenger to the dominancy by every measure. They handled 2 problems at the same time. Well done.
1
@AllanMogensen Relax, Europe is not in danger. Your politicians just want to put more money to the pocket of the MIC.
1
@shaunvduke Putin did not have too many options left. The shame is how badly it went at the start. And US cornered Russia. not Putin threatened Europe.
1
@brettgracey9682 Russia: nuclear power plants, miltech. Both are top.
1
@matthewhuszarik4173 And were sanctions implemented on US or its puppies? Were they cut from everywhere for their illegal wars and crimes?
1
@matthewhuszarik4173 No. Afghanistan did not attack the USA and they had the right to keep the perpetrators in their country.
1
@matthewhuszarik4173 Iraq 2 was also illegal as the UN decision did not allow that, but Americans always try to use your arguments not to admit they violated international law. Which happens all the time without consequences as US is the biggest dog. I could accept great power politics, just cannot stand the lies about the legality.
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 Yes, I think the global west missed a historical moment when they made the wrong decision not to let Russia be welcomed in Europe as Europe. Especially after feeding them with promises. Still there was opportunity for peaceful coexistence as Russia did not started outside wars at all like the West. But they just.. there was a meme about this like 20 years ago... 'Russia wants war. Look how close they put their country to our Nato bases'
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 Why? They do not need it. Romania wants Moldova. Russia wants Transnistria. But imho Transnistria is a bad call from strategic viewpoint. It cannot be defended, same like Kalinigrad. BTW have you noticed no one talks in the MSM about the situation in Transnistria after Ukraine closed the gas?
1
@mindbodyinstitute2652 It is not without example to jump big. China made industrial spying just like everyone else. They developed own jets, too and I am sure on electronics they are in pair with US. Metallurgy...that is a different matter. That applies on several miltech stuff. For that complete manufacturing knowledge needed, reverse engineering not enough. But as I told they are not stupid and very fast learners. Compare them to India, they struggle with literally everything.
1
@AkselGAL Hmm...how many tanks you are producing?
1
@AkselGAL Another cheerleader for WW3.
1
@angusgow1887 Great comment. And using water guns, not to hurt the feelings of the greens and Greta.
1
@matthewhuszarik4173 Who cares?
1
@DanielNistrean God save us from it.
1
@Cloud-dq1mr He is right.
1
@johnadam2885 Because they do not live in a bubble.
1
@johnadam2885 Do not bother him with serious questions. He decided that Ukraine is winning.
1
@randomDIYguy-k4r That is why they win with shovels.
1
@matthewhuszarik4173 Attackers were saudis, they did not attacked from Afghanistan. Taliban never attacked the US. There was no imminent threat, nor UN. authorization. Illegal.
1
@matthewhuszarik4173 UN disagreed on this.
1
@Fsh7486 But they could win with shovels.
1
@matthewhuszarik4173 that has nothing to do with illegality of the second war
1
@provisionalhypothesis They should have known this when they started talking about nato membership.
1
@sgjoni Dreams
1
@luciferjohnson8495 they were not a satellite state.
1
@michaelrowsell1160 Yes, listen more propaganda. that helps.
1
@Mark-xv5lb They will not.
1
@user-yq2wk6yg8s they chose it in 2014.
1
@FriedrichHerschel That gift process was symbolic as Ukraine was part of the USSR.
1
@awf6554 Was same as Kennedys choice.
1
@awf6554 US removed nukes from Turkey and promised not to invade Cuba as a deal.
1
@erlenddalen4515 In reality yes if the occupier strong enough to keep.
1
@joekrusec9066 Check US government servers for transscripts, but even Reuters had an article about it long time ago. The promise was real. Not an inch...
1
@Mega6981 That is why they are retreating towards West.
1
@stevesmart2545 Wot? They leased the port, but after 2008 Nato wishes appeared and many anti russian politicians wanted to cancel the lease. Russia disagreed after Maidan.
1
@liamdolly887 In an unlawful war.
1
@awf6554 Listen Mearsheimers 2014 speech on Chicago University. Monroe doctrine, etc.
1
@erlenddalen4515 I just noted that giving it to Ukraine in Soviet times was like putting a cent from you left pocket to your right. And yes, the stronger one decides the rules. This is how societies work.
1
@awf6554 And also Cuba crisis was started by US.
1
@awf6554 So what is the point?
1
@awf6554 No. Multiple US interests exist. The first one to keep the US empire as top dog. For that Europe should be a vassal with reduced power in everything, so cutting its ties with Russia is basic interest. An emerging Eurasia is worse for the US than anything else. That part of the Ukraine project is finished successfully. Also US interest to move as close as possible to Russias border as it gives better chances tonwin a possible nuke war.
1
@awf6554 I cannot help if you do not do your homework in geopolitics/history.
1
@awf6554 Because understanding history, context, geopolitical processes of the past help you to understand the present. But I do not think you want understand anything Believing emotion-based pro.pagenda is more friendly approach for people whatever their opinion is or whatever 'truth' they believe in.
1
@awf6554 Your thinking process is lacking contextual/historical knowledge, so it based on the propagandistic 'facts' as you do not know more about the things how geopolitics and power works in the reality and how they relate to each other. That is why I cited Cuba, but you were not able to understand the analogy as you lack the contextual knowledge. I cannot help on that as it also means that you lack almost everything to understand the reasons and processes lead to this Russian countermeasure.
1
@awf6554 So go, learn and maybe a few months later we could talk again.
1
@awf6554 I cannot, I am stupid. Go, learn.
1
@awf6554 Still lacks factual data for your opinion to be based. Factual data is the key to be realist and Europe is a joke as power player. Self determination by law is a perfect excuse for Crimea belonging now to Russia. Same for Donbas. Checkmate. Good night.
1
@awf6554 Self determination is basic human right and does not need to political approval from different sides as a 'theory'. On the other hand Russia asked for the typical observers, who refused, so had observers from other countries. That was even more what West used to organize. They just go in if external regime change does not work and decides who is the next boss. So the double standard here is pretty nice. Also do not forget that international law has its flaws when it comes to soveregnity and self-determination. Typical secession works through bloodshed, not much happened without it (Czechoslovakia worked without blood). But Catalan movement was not accepted as an example as it went again Spain interests, sonthe EU and the morally superior West just looked elsewhere while they happily assisted to the breaking up of Yugoslavia.
1
@peterc4082 Talking about Crimea.
1
@Grouse2275 Practical approach for Europe is to leave Ukraine immediately and normalize relations with Russia ASAP.
1
@Grouse2275 Russia is dominant in nukes over China and China does not want war. They could buy whatever they want from them.
1
@Grouse2275 The only warmonger in the world is US and its puppet vassal EU leaders.
1
@Grouse2275 Russia has no interest to hit nuclear plants anywhere. Anytime. They have tactical nukes with less, almost no fallout.
1
@NiklasVonDyrendahl Then elect competent politicians, not US assets.
1
@melodyprogressive No way brits in EU anymore. We have enough US assets already.
1
@miknew20 BTW I do not like Trump at all but underestimating him is like underestimating Russia. Same for overestimation.
1
@mlann2333 Well if you did not live under a rock in the last decades it should be not a new information for you. The West invaded countries permanently.
1
 @SebastianLarsen another joke helicopter from Europe.
1
@ZoltanBojas-ug6nf With US stuff inside Europe could never be independent. The good news is that US will never let Europe to be independent, so no worries. We remain vassals.
1
@richardhasler6718 Because until US intervention Europe had no reason to fear from anything. It was a mostly peaceful continent where people lived in peace together. Then US decided to put Georgia and Ukraine to Nato while Russia opposed it. The rest is history. Say thanks for vassal EU leaders..
1
@LRRPFco52 Finland painted a huge target on its forehead IMHO. They made a stu.peedo move.
1
@a0flj0 Never will have wartime production as the possibility of war here is almost zero, except the US pushes us into a war with Blackrock Herzes and Annalena Brainblocks.
1
@midnike8783 Cant wait for some Gripen suggestions, forgetting the US tech it uses.
1
@TheRobGuard There is no Ukrainian drone technology. That is Chinese drone tech. You could put together in 2 weekends with some mediocre engineers their drone tech.
1
@blacklion8208 That helicopter is a joke, just like Eurocopter was.
1
@Axel_Andersen F35 with pilot works until US does not decide to switch it off. Drone works until it is not fooled/failed by countermeasures.
1
@Axel_Andersen Stealth tech is one of the most important component missing from this war.
1
@yannduchnock Dreaming again. French tech is not bad, I personally love Rafale, but it is far far away from F35 and I would any time choose Abrams over a Leclerc (or a Leo).
1
@yannduchnock That is literally untrue.
1
@Axel_Andersen Cannot and wil not.
1
@MrOneball1 None of these will happen as Europe is not in threat. But Europe will buy more US weapons.
1
@unduloid No. European system are overpriced and in many cases utterly inferior.
1
@KrispyNuggetBoutique No, not in pair. Elint? almost zero with satellites, with awacs. Attack helicopters? Bad joke. Competetive tanks? Kidding? 5th gen fighters? Dream about it. Patriot-level long range SAM systems? Not yet. People who want to fight for EU leaders? Zero. And no nuclear deterrence.
1
@RK-cj4oc Gripen is partially US.
1
@KrispyNuggetBoutique Please update you knowledge.
1
@a0flj0 Europe has not to defend against Russia as Russia has no intentions for war, never had. But after what EU did, maybe they will annex the Baltics and I could understand that move. And no Europe or Nato could do anything against it.
1
@michaelpilos Best weapons like...
1
@unduloid Oh, educate me, please, please....
1
@iivin4233 You are clearly know nothing of great power politics. Europe will never be a power. Cannot be as it is divided and cannot be as it is under US control. Europe had a one and only chance: after the collapse of the USSR integrating Russia to the EU. That was vetoed by US, because US was smart. China is not a threat, Russia is not a threat (yet, because our US asset leaders could change that). Somwhat will happen? We will spend more on US weaponry. US wins, we remain vassals.
1
@unduloid No, I am really curious where I did not make my homework. Really. I do not even know for what you made your comment. But as I am in this area for a while, I am curious, so please do not run away from a debate. Maybe I am wrong on something.
1
@unduloid No, you did nothing like that. As I wrote I do not even know with what you argue.
1
@unduloid But what I think you realized you were wrong and just trying to get away.
1
@unduloid Right on what? What was my comment you reacted?
1
@unduloid I still do not know what comment you reacted to, but i watched the video partially. I do not know who made it. but had no overview on military development, geopolitics or anything overall, even the prices were a joke. there is no F35 alternative for Europe and F35 is cheaper than typical European 4th gens. South Korean, US co-development and israeli weapon system are flawed in the same way: US knows everything about them, also controls 3rd party manufacturers. Gripen is partially US btw. So yeah, as I thought you have no idea.
1
@smartin_b5314 Russia has 5th gen, just not enough.The 6th gen is not even specified correctly by experts, its requirements are under debates. Ongoing developments happen all over the world, but seeing how joint developments worked in the past in the EU I have strong doubts how will it end.
1
@yannduchnock Gosh, that was enermous amount of .... lets say politely not knowing things.Rafale is a great 4-4.5 gen fighter, but not a stealth fighter. In air combat it cannot detect the F35 while it could see and aim it. Nothing matters then. But at least costs more than F35 wirh less advancement. The only area it is better when it comes to hourly flying cost.
1
@smartin_b5314 China as far as we know got top secret docs about f35 through spying. Still the J20 is not in pair with F35 as far as we know. And money does not solve everything. Germany will not make huge spenditure on military, they already suffer on economic level because of their own stu.pedity. Big words as always and no guts for anything. Germany in a few words.
1
@smartin_b5314 And I state that in Europe there us no real security threat, we are used by fearmongering to put more money on US accounts on longer term. There will be no massive rearmament in Europe as there is no reason to do that. Even our dum.b leaders know that, that is why they did almost nothing in the last 3 years. Now they say things, but words are cheap. Russia HAS 5th gen fighters, we saw them on various occasions. Not as sophisticated as F22 or F35, but there are some. On the other hand we do not know if they were used in Ukraine or not. They claim they were used, we cannot prove or disprove it. Stealth is about this. Also they do not need to risk them as regular planes just do the jobs well.
1
@smartin_b5314 It seems YT dele.ted my comment again.
1
@smartin_b5314 So. Turkish development timeline is questionable for me. Compare the timeline with F 35 dev while the US had experience with not just F22, but earlier stealth planes. Shape is a thing, sensor fusion, metallurgy, composites are a different thing. And F35 is still not perfect and suffers a lot, almost every year they discover something. I do not think for a moment Europe would do better.
1
@smartin_b5314 European joint project typically failures. Happened with MBTs. Happened with Eurofighter and Eurocopter. France and Germany simple cannot work well together in the most of the cases. Even when it is not a complete failure like Typhoon, it results terrible pricing with less capabilities compared to competition. There are successful projects like the Meteor will be (probably), but Europe is divided like hell. It means terrible logistics, conflicting national interests, etc. You want artillery? From which European manufacturer? Which should give up its profit and make boots instead of sophisticated weapon systems?
1
@smartin_b5314 Also including UK to project means sharing dev data with the US. Not a great way of independency, when US knows literally everything about your systems. And where is nuclear deterrence? UK nukes are US nukes, French nukes belong to France, whatever Micron says. After struggles in De Gaulle era France will never sacrifice Paris for Warsaw.
1
@smartin_b5314 I test if I could reply wit.out del.etion.
1
 @jorgenlarsen775 Europe will not. There is no country called Europe. An no threaths in Europe.
1
@billalumni9142 China is not a problem at all. USA just want to be the hegemon forever. Well. all empires fall sooner or later.
1
@Lawrence-lj5jz No, Trump just did what puppet masters wanted. Russia will lick its wounds, Ukraine is demolished, but mosg importantly Europe cut ties with Russia, what weakened Europe in every aspect, so no more competition from there. US now has left only China to deal with.

@jorgenlarsen775 I know too much. Unfortunately. For Europe.

@JaZy-0_0 No, I live in CEE. No security threats were here, except from US side regime change attempts..
1
@dethtongue945 Completely wrong. The only thing is what more overpriced than a US military hardware is the European equivalent. Except that the European one is typically half as capable.
1
@TuckFrump-AAB463 The US never loved Europe. Are you living in some alternative universe? Western Europe was a US interest, handled that way.

@francescoguzzetta My nation is surely not EU as no nation called EU exists. And EU cannot save Ukraine.

@francescoguzzetta :d

@aimformyheadplease You are clearly have no idea what top tier means in 2025.
1
@aimformyheadplease God, why guys who has no view on military comment about military?
1
@gameburn178 That is ridiculous. Gripen. God save me. That is partially US made, too,

@sardo.numspa UK is not a major power, just the 51th state of the US without voting rights.

@SteveLoughran Ukraine is not building stuff. Assembling stuff mostly.
1
@Qwerty-jy9mj Because 15 years ago there was no military threat in Europe and the corrupt politicians on US payroll were active in destroying European military industry.

@Slavic_Goblin Us does what is its interest.

@TomEugelink No own CPUs, no own OS, no own satellite coverage and no nations could working together without permanent tensions. Take a look on past joint developments. Nearly all failed or resulted a failed product with a higher price tag than an american one.

@markbkjaer On which issue?
1
@mag-s7 More like a joke.
1
@angusgow1887 They sent their junk because it was cheaper if Russia disassembles them. ;) But funnily before that they were called superior western game changer wonder weapons.

@dethtongue945 Eurocopter Tiger? Eurofighter?
1
@sardo.numspa And your reply clearly defines your skills.
1
@dethtongue945 Check your numbers, please. F35 exists in 3 different versions. And that 5th generation plane costs less than a Eurofighter or Gripen which are 4-4.5 gen. Also from manufacturing aspect the cost of a weapon program does not matter at all. The per unit price matters.
1
@sardo.numspa Still no arguments. Nafo Macbook Air Battalion?

@gameburn178 You somehow think Trump rules the USA. No. America is ruled from behind the curtain. And the ruling elite will always keep the interests of the US in mind. US will never let Europe to be independent. It took decades to cut it from Russia completely, very old project. And in a multipolar world US needs Europe even more as an asset. So no, USA just wants Europe to pay more for the US military complex. And that will happen. Also US - who is behind the war in Ukraine - will put as much cost of rebuilding on Europe as possible. That makes Europe even more weaker.

@dethtongue945 You just wrote: the scale of production matters. I do not know you want to argue or you are really interested. But example: make your own smartphone, just 1 piece. Develop everything for that phone. Screens, cpu, ram, etc. Everything from zero. It will cost enermous amount. But it will cost less than a full iPhone factory where the same happened and makes millions of the same phone. And that phone is in your price range because all dev and manufacturing cost paid divided on million pieces. Aviation is similar. F35 by its capabilities should be more expensive than Eurofighter. But so many F35 was ordered and delivered and so few Eurofighter that the less capable costs more at the end. Funny, but this is how 'mass production' works. Development cost does not matter. What matters how many plane manufactured to cover that development cost with a proper profit margin outside the manufacturing cost.
1
@grahamstrouse1165 In what?
1
@dethtongue945 I give up then as basic logic does not work for you. For others: F35A is better then Eurofighter Tranch 4 (simplification) F35A price in 2024 is about 80-85 million USD. Eurofighter Tranch 4 price is about 110+ million USD in 2024. Everything depends of course on the magnitude of the order, the buyer, the training, the accessories, etc., the political background, were they part of the development or not..Many factors.

@gbosman5874 Airbus makes great civilian aircrafts.
1
@TomEugelink Yes, we have the theoretical potential. Making it work requires decades. BTW I did not thought for navigation satellites, I thought of recon satellites with global coverage. AI based drones require high end chip manufacturing. Linux is the simplest solution, afaik Russia uses a Linux for their stuff, too. But check joint development programs in the past.... total headache. MBTs, fighters...where France and Germany have to work together...pain. And eveything is crazily pricey, what kills export compared to US assets where the size of the internal market and the heavily war-dependent politics together makes a more viable business. And US will do everything to reduce the competition, it is a miracle that Airbus was able to beat Boeing in airliners.
1
@mag-s7 They offer outstanding products fot competitive prices like....oops, they do not.

@v8pilot De Gaulle was a pita, but he knew US would never sacrifice Washington for Paris.

@aimformyheadplease Not really a word meets facts, but hey, who cares.

i cannot stop laughing on the circus we get, while nothing changes....
1
@rogerkarlsson3996 Gripen is a joke in 2025. Whatever you put in it, it is still 4th generation. Europe has no top level military aviation products at all, not even a dam.ned attack helicopter what works properly. See the Chinese, they do real development. And South Korea... they allied to the US and on the opposite side of Eurasia. Good luck with that distance.
1
Not even mentioning internal tensions made all joint development crazy in the last many decades and the leaders happy to sell out national interests as US vas.sals.
1
@alcosound Remember for the middle of the last century when almost everybody had own military industry...No we are in the hand of the USA. They could even control when and who we could engage, nog just controlling spare parts. Even Nasams is a joke if it could be turned to brick by the USA.
1
@alcosound And no stealth, no proper attack helicopters, no satellite coverage, no proper awacs, barely nothing. Some IFVs and MBTs, that is all we have. Not mentioning how pathetically german ifvs performed on a practice...it was a scandal..
1
@pantalaemon Not really.
1
@pantalaemon UK is under USA control. Geographically they are Europe, in reality they cannot even take a breath without US approval.
1
@CrassSpektakel That is probably a misinfomation.
1
@hosermcmoose Actually big countries without threaths needs only huge patrol time, low cost and some armament to take care of airliner problems if any comes up. So Gripen has no use there, nor the F-35 where you pay for stealth...
1
@oglordbrandon Yep and here is the problem, we have a paradox here. Europe is safe from any wars. Politicians knew it, new politicians should know it. Actually we only need to protect borders against immigration. So there is no sense in military spending. On the other hand we support acts of the US what makes us enemy in the eyes of others with a reason. But tell me, if EU countries really think that Russia is a real threat why they do not increase manufacturing?
1
@viktorsundberg3101 No way. I was pro-EU, but after the last 15 years I rather vote my country out of EU than trust in Ursulas or Annalena BrainBlocks with anything affects my country.
1
@goshky EU economy was bigger than US economy for several years. But with US forcing cutting ties between Europe and Russia that will never happen again.
1
@viktorsundberg3101 No, basic interest of the US to keep Europe far from Russia and China, also keeping it down. And we have politicians like De Gaulle anymore, just Olafs and BrainBlockeds...
1
@TehJumpingJawa Your approach is shortsighted. Trump does not make calls, he is a talking head like everyone in the WH. And the end will be as always: keeping US hegemony. But even powers behind the curtain cannot stop multipolar world which is a necessity.
1
@TehJumpingJawa Seems YT del.ated my reply.
1
@TehJumpingJawa Multipolar world is good.
1
@peterc4082 US will be happy to sell renewed MBTs to Europe.
1
Only PPP makes sense, but Russia in PPP is far stronger than Europe. European made miltech is typically overpriced like hell while remains inferior and inrcedebly huge amount of European stuff relies on US tech in manufacturing. Like Gripen as an example.
