Chief of Staff of the
Italian Air Force, General Luca Goretti, said that the two programs should
merge in the future. “Naturally, these
two realities will merge into one because investing huge financial resources in
two equivalent programs is unthinkable,” Goretti told Italian lawmakers.
Both projects aim to create 6th generation fighters, more modern and capable than aircraft like the Lockheed Martin F-35. Until the entry into service, expected for 2040, many things can still happen.
