Two youths charged with second degree murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #halifax #police #newstodayPARIS - France and Germany agreed on Friday to move to the next phase of a project to jointly develop a battle tank by 2040, their defence ministers said, as they seek fresh impetus despite reservations and differences on each side.
The support of French Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu and his German counterpart Boris Pistorius to drive things forward maintains some momentum. Development of a next-generation tank is also seen as vital in highlighting how Europe can create its own defence autonomy, compete with new players like India and China, but also take the lead over Russia and the United States, who have yet to unveil plans for tanks to replace their existing models.The two sides have agreed on a way ahead for the distribution of work between manufacturers and hope to sign their first contracts by the end of year.
"There is still a long way to go before our Franco-German land combat system of the future, MGCS, is realised. And yet today's signing of the MOU is another important milestone," Pistorius said.
