UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has approved the Global Combat Aircraft Programme (GCAP), a collaboration between the UK, Italy, and Japan to develop a 6th-generation stealth fighter jet. This advanced military project merges the UK-Italy Tempest Project and Japan’s F-X program, with the UK initially investing £2 billion. Designed to strengthen defenses against potential threats from Russia and China, GCAP represents a significant strategic step for G7 partners. Starmer and his cabinet finalized the approval last week, with a full announcement on the project anticipated soon.
