Belgian Defense Minister Francken faces parliamentary scrutiny over F-35, army overhaul

Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken returns to parliament amid a deteriorating security environment, facing questions on the F-35 program and his 'in-depth' army transformation. The F-35 delivery status and strategic implications are partially detailed, with four of 34 aircraft delivered. This marks a routine parliamentary check-in, but the scale of defense investment and security deterioration elevates its significance.
