Probably first deployed caseless ammunition, if the cold war hadn't ended (and it wasn't a swiss watch) the G-11 probably would have made it to field trials.

The best part is that wasn't even technically Germany, that was the North German Confederation of which Prussia was the de facto leader. They have never won a war since Germany unified.

>The French-German project to develop a future combat air system appeared closer to failure on Wednesday, after aircraft maker Dassault Aviation blamed partner Airbus for no longer wanting to work together on the next-generation fighter at the heart of the plans.

>“If Airbus maintains its position of not wanting to work with Dassault, the matter is dead,” Dassault Aviation Chief Executive Officer Eric Trappier said at a press conference outside Paris on Wednesday, where he showed a slide on FCAS with only a question mark, saying, “I don’t know.’’

pretending that ww2 was just one war is retarded. germany beat poland and france, and several smaller states. if beating germany with the combined might of the rest of the world counts as a victory, then germany beating fucking denmark counts as well.

A more accurate statement for anything regarding joint development.
>>
>>64993048
le deindustrialisation is meme logic, most of the people going on about it have no interest in the reality of the situation, the reality is europe and the US both still control an extremely large portion of global manufacturing, and the majority of it is very high end very high value add things that take decades to develop, which nobody else on earth can do. ASML is a good example of this.
it's most of the easier, rougher heavy industry that was moved to third world countries.
>s-so there isn't a problem
didn't say that, re-industrialisation because of the changing geopolitical situation is important, but the people screeching that the west has zero industry are fucking retarded.
>>

sneaky fuckers
>>
>you're a peasants are still ignoring the fact that photolithography is an American technology.
>>
>>64994947
well no, the technology at it's peak is currently being developed in the netherlands and has been for a long time.
>if i keep screeching it, it will become true
yeah, but it's not, sorry, americans have a part to play, but it is ultimately a multinational company based in europe that has parts being manufactured in germany, the netherlands, japan, and many others.
also final assembly is done in the netherlands, lockheed uses plenty of foreign parts in it's supply chain too, but we don't pretend it's a european country, because the final assembly that actually produces their products is in the US.
>>
>>64994968
a third of their machines are assembled in Wilton and cannot build a single EUV machine without US approval
It's thoroughly multi-national but Euro nationalists pretend like its an achievement entirely their own and that the US unfairly asked that they not export it to China. There's obvious reasons why ASML complied
>>
>>64994979
>b-but we're a part of the supply chain!
good for you, still not an american machine, sorry.
>and cannot build a single EUV machine without US approval
yeah, they also can't build a single EUV machine without german approval, because they're a part of the supply chain, what's your point?
>e-euro nationalists try to pretend
i don't think they do, i think you just got upset at a spectre that you invented in your head and needed to tell it whatfor.
it's a european company, and it's products are european, because they are made in europe, and they are headquartered in europe, and most of their talent is european.
>>
>>64994991
>yeah, they also can't build a single EUV machine without german approval, because they're a part of the supply chain, what's your point?
They are beholden to US export controls because they bought Cymer. I'm sorry Eurokeks but that's how it works
>>
>>64991810
Probably not much, these things aren't some genetic race trait like in fantasy. German militarism has been atrophying for 3 whole generations now, they're not gonna just wake up tomorrow with the skillset and innovation of their forefathers

owned by ASML and also it is German again

>German company TRUMPF supplies the high-power CO2 drive lasers critical to the LPP process (used to vaporize tin droplets). This laser technology is a key European input integrated into the San Diego-built source.

nice try thought
>>
>>64995170
>TRUMPF (officially TRUMPF SE + Co. KG) is a leading German family-owned high-tech company headquartered in Ditzingen, near Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It specializes in machine tools, laser technology, electronics, and Industry 4.0 solutions for industrial manufacturing.

>Ownership: Remains a family-owned business (Trumpf and Leibinger families), emphasizing long-term innovation and independence.

American minds cant copperhead that European companies are family owned for centuries and they have zero need to play clown publicity games for stock circlejerks like they do in the usa most of machines they use there are still all European made

the US single handedly defeated the Nazis in both world wars. the Nazis would have beaten and enslaved the bongs both times without US intervention
>>65003276
the dutch have not. they are just cheap brown labor like bangladesh. the dutch have never been at the forefront of anything but sodomy. the dutch make the samalis look white and smart and the smalis pray to mecca fewer times per day.
if I was brown I'd live in the islamic caliphate of holland. all science and tech comes from the US, not third world brown nations like holland, india, somalia, germany, the balkins, bangladesh or haiti
>>
>>65003722

it was literally given to them by the department of energy in the late 90s. they continue to exist because of combined, deliberate investments from the us chip majors about a decade later.

there was a reason why the federal government decided to implant this technology in europe in a middling company at a point in time when us companies could have acheived the exact same result. i have as yet not quite been able to work it out.
