French officials said Wednesday that they will not deliver the first Mistral-class amphibious warship that Russia had ordered from Paris as part of a $1.7 billion weapons sale, a strong rebuke after months of aggressive actions by Russia in eastern Ukraine.

French officials said in statement that they assess the situation in Ukraine to be "serious," and believe Russia's actions undermine security in Europe. The statement did not say whether France will deliver the ship in the future, but said the conditions for it to do so at this time "have so far not been met," despite the possibility of a cease-fire in Ukraine. "The recent actions by Russia in eastern Ukraine are contrary to the basic notions of security in Europe," the statement said.


india should be wary of signing mmrca deal for rafale as in future they can stop supply of spares and further aircrafts as the production starts by not suppying critical components. iaf top brass should open their eyes now this is a wake up call for all indian armed forces and politicians that the security of our nation is at stakes when you buy foriegn products. no nation can become strong on borrowed strength as this is only for shows but when it is needed the most it will be of no use as there will be no supply of critical parts and weapons. and above all who knows if it is coming with kill switch. so when you have to fight any nato nation the birds simply won't fly. lca and amca is the way to go.

@lcafanboy, I think we should continue cooperating with the French w.r.t. our Kaveri engine. We should also get a small batch of Rafales off the shelf. Plans for ToT should be postponed indefinitely.

Not a good idea to compare apples and oranges.

MRCA has nothing to do with Mistral deal.

Do you mean get two squadron off the shelf and see you later.

Do you mean get two squadron off the self and see you later.

I am not going to commit myself to the number of squadrons, but I would peg that at 4 squadrons. I would like to bait the French to get things moving with the Kaveri K10. Our long term interests lie in making things in India. I wouldn't mind being monetarily generous with them. Once we get the turbines into the production line, we can easily build upon the LCA to build a twin-engined MCA. Rafale has one significant advantage in the number of engines, over the LCA. I do not acknowledge LCA being a replacement of Rafale.
