>The main reason for the project's difficulties is said to be massive problems with the IT interfaces and the transfer of construction plans between Damen Naval and the German subcontractors. At least according to the official language. Mastering the French Dassault software, which is essential for the design drawings, is causing difficulties and leading to extensive reworking by the contractor itself and at the German shipyards. This has led to a standstill in the detailed design phase, delaying the delivery of the first unit by at least two years. Insiders are now assuming four years. Members of the German parliament now see the project as a failure and are calling for it to be cancelled and for a national solution to ensure the navy's operational capability.
>The financial implications are severe. Documents from the German Bundestag show that a cash flow of 1.829 billion euros is already demonstrable in the context of the F126 project - a sum made up of actual expenditure for 2020, 2021 and 2024 as well as target estimates for 2022 and 2023. These funds are likely to include advance payments for planning, infrastructure or technology transfer. The discrepancy between the public presentation and the documented budget estimates raises questions about transparency.
