So we are moving ahead swiftly in Franco-German cooperation,\u201d she continued, adding that other programs are also being considered by European allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany is close to pulling out of a planned Franco-German program for a new air-to-ground missile for the Tiger Mk3 modernization program, opting instead for the Israeli alternative, La Tribune reported on its website. A meeting of French and German defense ministers is scheduled June 19, when Berlin\u2019s decision may be announced. The Direction G\u00e9n\u00e9rale de l\u2019Armement (DGA) and MBDA declined comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany potentially opting out of the cooperative program reportedly stems from a preference for Diehl to adapt the Israeli Spike missile for the Tiger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dGermany\u2019s apparent decision to withdraw from the new missile program [for the Tiger upgrade] is an indicator of just how much Germany values Diehl and is prepared to direct business to keep it going,\u201c said Sash Tusa, an analyst with equity research firm Agency Partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201dDiehl has a pretty narrow product range and is overly dependent on variants of IRIS, so Eurospike would be a valuable extra business line,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A German decision to pull out of a European missile program could hurt the export prospects of the Tiger, said an industry executive, who declined to be identified. A choice of one or two weapons helps the foreign sales outlook, but a pick of between a U.S. or Israeli missile for the Tiger limits the prospects in the Middle East and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA European missile is needed to be exportable,\u201d the executive said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Airbus Helicopter Tiger can be armed with the Hellfire or Spike air-to-ground missiles. The French Army is drawing up its requirement for a Future Tactical Air-Surface Missile, dubbed MAST-F, which would arm the upgraded Tiger Mk3. At Eurosatory, MBDA\u2019s chalet displayed a model of the Tiger armed with various missiles, namely Brimstone; an air-to-air Mistral; and MLP\/European Modular Missile, a proposed long-range version of its MMP anti-tank weapon which has been delivered to the French Army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says one expert, a Tiger armed with a European missile will be far more
