German's Luftwaffe decide to buy 30 Super Hornet w/ Nuclear capability and 15 Growler as a replacement for the aged Tornado IDS and ECR (https://theaviationgeekclub.com/germany-approves-super-hornet-growler-buy-to-replace-luftwaffe-tornado-fighter-bombers/).
As shown in the Airbus' plan, France and German try to develop a New jet fighter for their own Air-Force, however, aged Tornado fleet probably needs more urgent replacement than the mock-up stage aircraft. Indeed, Super Hornet would be selected as a new platform of the Luftwaffe.
Now, Boeing, maker of Super Hornet, has new customer for its manned military jet fighter, and they could propose their upgrade options like weapon pod or conformal fuel tank. (https://jaesan-aero.blogspot.com/2018/02/weapon-pod-for-super-advanced-hornet.html)
Interesting point is that Luftwaffe also orders more Eurofighter as a partner of the Super Hornet. Super Hornet is generally regarded as a more Air-to-Ground mission platform than the Eurofighter. Although Eurofighter tried to expand their role to AtG mission, German might not satisfy the compatibility of the Eurofighter.
It will be interesting that German requires Nuclear capability for the Super Hornet. And what will be other 'German Options' for the Super Hornet?
