UK PM Burnham offers Germany role in GCAP fighter jet program

During his first visit to Berlin, UK PM Andy Burnham signaled openness to German participation in the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), a next-generation fighter jet project currently involving the UK, Japan, and Italy. This marks a potential expansion of the program's membership, though no formal commitment was made. The move could reshape European defense industrial cooperation and affect the balance of military aerospace capabilities.
