It's funny we didn't even bother to have an FCAS thread, and it's already basically dead in the water. Let's hold off on a GCAP thread unless there is tangible progress. France-Germany-Spain are NATO allies and close culturally and same time zone. UK-Italy-Japan are even more disparate linguistically, culturally, and working style wise as you can get. Just the time zone difference would be a massive challenge.
