#Tempest - UK to invest 2 billion pounds in new fighter jet programme through 2025
Britain will invest £2 billion to 2025 to develop a fighter jet called Tempest (pictured) that could be used with pilots or as a drone, its defence minister said on Monday (16 July), unveiling a life-sized model of the new stealthy warplane, writes Andrea Shalal.
Gavin Williamson said the programme was aimed at ensuring Britain’s continued leadership in fighter technology and control of air space in future wars.
He said Britain, excluded for now from a Franco-German fighter programme launched in July 2017, remained open to partnering with other countries on the project, with an eye to seeing the new jet flying by 2035.
