## Resource

The Future Combat Air System is officially dead — a major blow to Franco-German defense ties and European autonomy, but maybe the right move. Years of friction, rival designs, and conflicting national interests doomed the project, even if it was always destined for trouble. While it’s a setback, some see it as a chance to reset and build smarter, more cooperative partnerships in Europe’s ever-shifting security landscape.
