Airbus's plans to increase production of its Eurofighter jets have been held back by the German government and other countries being slow to commit to orders, its defence boss has said.
The company has been unable to scale up despite a push by Nato for output to be accelerated as the Russian war in Ukraine approaches its first anniversary.
Airbus Defence and Space chief executive Michael Schoellhorn said Berlin's restrictive stance on arms exports outside Ukraine has played a role.
He expects an uptick in orders for jets, drones and space-based products in the coming years.
However, the absence of even a handshake deal has meant aircraft have not been made a priority.
Instead the company is focusing on ammunition and tank production for Ukraine.
Mr Schoellhorn said at the Munich Security Conference: "Currently we don't have the orders to ramp up any further, we're waiting for orders to reconfirm that we can keep the lines running."
