Saudi Arabia Pursues GCAP Fighter Project Despite Japan's Opposition

Antipolo Magazine 2020


Saudi Arabia aspires to play an integral role in the development of the sixth-generation fighter jet through its involvement in the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).




In the previous year, the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP) united the UK, Italy, and Japan, aiming to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet by 2035 for air superiority. 

While the UK and Italy are receptive to Saudi Arabia's inclusion in the project, Japan holds a firm stance against it, conveying their perspective to the program's partners. 

Saudi Arabia's potential involvement would necessitate substantial financial investments, projected to be in the tens of billions of dollars, as reported by Nikkei Asia based on undisclosed sources.

Japan has made strides in relaxing its arms export restrictions, sparked by its involvement in GCAP and the potential for expanded market access. Nevertheless, Japanese officials express reservations about Saudi Arabia's participation in the project, citing complications in choosing export partners and potential delays.

Riyadh's interest in GCAP emerged as Germany prohibited the delivery of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets due to an arms embargo imposed in 2018 following concerns over journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder and the conflict in Yemen.
