Germany and France agree on details for the development of a new tank system. Mainground Combat System (MGCS) not only has a cryptic name, but many details of the development cooperation were also unclear until now.
Both sides agreed on the distribution of all tasks for the project, "without any scope for interpretations or misunderstandings, even from outside," said Boris Pistorius. Germany is leading the MGCS project, France is leading. the FCAS project. The two countries agreed in 2017 to jointly develop both a modern fighter jet and a main battle tank.
