Boeing has said that some details need to be worked through before a deal with Germany for more P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft is finalised.
“You've all seen the recent reporting about Germany's going to buy seven more [P-8s],” Perry Yaw, senior manager of business development for mobility and surveillance at Boeing, told reporters on 15 June. “I'm waiting to fulfill that request. I think there's still some things that need to be worked through in Germany before we see that finalised.”
Germany has five P-8s on order from Boeing with deliveries scheduled to start in 2024. However, Berlin announced it would ramp up defense spending following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The war has also increased interest from other allies. [...]
The P-8 is in service or on order with Australia, Germany, India, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, the UK, and the US.
