Part of this is the euro inability to collaborate on defence projects. There’s IRIS-T SLM by Diehl and NASAMS by Kongsberg for low to medium altitude and SAMP/T by MBDA and Thales for high-altitude and anti-ballistic, but low production volumes. And now there’s FREYJA, but usually when a large coalition is put together, it will collapse before results (ref: FCAS) @fj@mastodon.social @ErikJonker@mastodon.social
