BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany has scrapped a plan to buy Triton reconnaissance drones from Northrop Grumman (N:NOC) and instead decided to buy three Global 6000 jets from Bombardier (TO:BBDb), a government document showed on Tuesday.

The defence ministry told lawmakers in a confidential letter, obtained by Reuters, that the Triton drones would not be ready for delivery until 2025 as promised and that the estimated costs of some 2.4 billion euros ($2.66 billion) could not be financed.
