France might exit the joint tank project with Germany due to concerns over political support and budget cuts.

The claims regarding the MGCS project focus on potential France withdrawal and budget reduction. The evidence suggests these are ongoing speculations, with no definitive action taken. The main obstacle claim lacks relevant evidence, and the statement from Rheinmetall's head is an opinion on European defense collaboration barriers. In sum, the factual certainty of these claims is low, as they remain predictions or subjective opinions rather than confirmed facts.
