Germany? Eh, I mean the war was over 70 years ago. My favorite Merkel moment was last year when Trump was talking about the NATO allies needing to beef up their military and Merkel said something to the effect of "Are you sure you want us arming up?"

Heh.. Yeah. Right. ;-)
But really, if there would be any other Gen5/6-fighter available, I would probably prefer that. Because the special mixture in this aircraft for the needs of Marines/AirForce/etc is not really compatible to German military forces.

No, we did not develop a fighter in Germany on our own since WWII. I guess there are many good reasons to this.
