Based on the analytical framework of the <strong>\u00absmile curve\u00bb,<\/strong> The study compares <strong>four major fighter aircraft programmes<\/strong> : the F-35 Lightning II, the Eurofighter Typhoon, the Rafale and the Gripen.<\/li>\r\n<li>Based on an analysis of around 1,000 suppliers, the study highlights several models of strategic autonomy. The <strong>Rafale <\/strong>is characterised by a strong <strong>national industrial control<\/strong>, but remains heavily dependent on exports. The\u2019<strong>Eurofighter<\/strong> represents a form of\u2019<strong>collective European autonomy<\/strong>, which requires complex coordination between partners. The<strong> F-35<\/strong> is based on a <strong>globalised supply chain<\/strong> dominated by the <strong>US companies<\/strong> and backed by a vast domestic market. Finally, the <strong>Gripen<\/strong> illustrates the constraints faced by smaller states, characterised by a <strong>low proportion of domestic suppliers<\/strong> and a heavy reliance on external markets.<\/li>\r\n<li>The findings highlight that strategic autonomy is not a binary situation, but a continuum of trade-offs between sovereignty, industrial efficiency, market access and international cooperation.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ecodef-ihedn.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/BRNO-2026-3-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
