The Helsing CA-1: Germany's Upcoming Unmanned Fighter Jet

This Megaprojects documentary covers Germany’s Helsing CA-1 Europa, an AI-piloted unmanned combat air vehicle being developed in Munich as a loyal wingman for crewed fighters. It explains the stealthy multirole design for scouting, electronic warfare, and autonomous strike, with a targeted first flight in 2027 and series readiness around 2029. The video places the real German defense-AI program in the wider European push for sovereign combat drones after lessons from Ukraine, and weighs the ambitious timeline against technical and trust hurdles for armed uncrewed jets.
