Italy seeks a stronger role in the GCAP jet fighter project, aiming to compete as an equal partner with British and Japanese partners. The project's budget is expected to be split among the three nations, with Italy's defense ministry dismissing reports suggesting it will pay only a fifth of the overall cost. The UK is set to be the headquarters for the project, with Japan and Britain dominating design and manufacturing. Italy has committed to funding the programme, with a line of finance in the defense budget for 15 years.
