España apuesta por el radar AESA: el futuro del Eurofighter

The Council of Ministers, which usually meets on Tuesdays, was brought forward to Monday, June 29, 2026, and resulted in the urgent processing of two Royal Decrees aimed at accelerating the funding for the modernization of the Spanish Eurofighter fleet. We analyze what this really means: the ECRS Mk1 AESA radar, which aircraft in the Spanish Eurofighter fleet could carry it, which ones couldn't, Tecnobit's national IRST (Lizard), and why all this is happening just as the sixth-generation FCAS system has been discontinued. Without triumphalism: the confirmed, the probable, and the speculative, separated with surgical precision.
