If you think the United States has problems with the constant price increase of new-generation programs like the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), take a look at the situation with the four-nation consortium Eurofighter program.
Several news reports, including a January 26 story in the Washington, D.C. based Defense News, state that the bill for the Eurofighter is going to now cost some €10 billion ($15 billion) more than the most recent cost estimates had previously projected. The Defense News report is based on a story from the German magazine Focus, which published its article after having obtained a copy of a letter from Eurofighter GmbH, the German branch of the multinational company that manages the program, with these details. The letter in question was addressed to the German Ministry of Defense (MoD).
