European build fighters jets are considered among the dearest in the world. This is so true when you compare them Russian and American made ones. Their high aquisition cost negatively effect their sales, and we have not begin to compare them to present or even future Asian made jets. At the end Europe Aviation companies will lose out to their competitors, especially the Asians.
One way out of this mess is that the Europeans must build assembly lines in a few Asian countries to bring down the cost of manufacturing them so that they can be successfully sold back to the Europeans as well as other customers in the middle east and Asia at cheaper rate.
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and even the Philippines are countries Europeans can build their parts in. The parts can later be export to Europe for the final assembly in European factories. Better yet assembly lines should be build in Asia to build these aircrafts. Both option will definitely make their aircrafts a whole lot cheaper, the second option more than the first of course. That way European fighters are more affordable and many sales can be made there on. Money gain from the sales shall be used to finance the design and build their future stealth fighters and even futuristic drones as well as weapons. Furthermore they need to compete with Americans and Russian stealth products right now instead of later. And this is the only way to do it.
Even by the ways mentioned above the Europeans can dratiscally bring down on their acquisition as well as their maintainence cost when they buy into these aircrafts. Of course this will cause more unemployment in Europe. However money saved from buying cheap aircraft and operating it and also the profit made from selling cheaper aircraft can be use to create future as well as other lines of products where new jobs are made available for them.
