Germans cannot say no to American order for long. The Luftwaffe inducts the first fully foreign-made fighter jet in over 80 years.

Are they not making one with France? They could use this fund allocation for accelerating the project. It's not like Russia has any interest or financial capability to invade Germany at this point.
My bad. Didn't know that F-4 Phantoms were in German service.
Pretty sure the Rafale eater wasn't acquired by the Luftwaffe in 1942
Old, but still going strong, the German Phantom. It should already have been retired years ago already, delays with the Eurofighter Typhoon program kept her in the air. However, the end is now in sight with an EF.2000 simulator building and other facilities now apparantly under construction at Germany's last F-4 base Wittmund. The Germans may have made short work of one or more Rafales during mock combat however, judging by the "Rafale Eater" inscription on the intake splitter plate of one of the jets.
