NO.
We canceled the Mistral deal to be fair with others european country, specially north east one (Poland....).
We can't see Russia supporting civilian war in Ukrainia and taking Crimea without reaction.
It was the political decision of our President. I was not for, but it is the real reason.
If en israeli's update of M2000 cost less, why dealing with Dassault? think a lot with your brain and not your d..k
Scorpene? The first boat is only on sea (and not Under) that you conclude lack of ToT.... It's at the end you can conclude. The first is always made with a great amount of supplier component, and after there is a transfer to local Producer.
But are the local Producers at the right level to made such high tech component? It's just a question. Remember Boeing cancelling a contract for spares for lack of quality.
I believe you need some english lessons, thinking with your brain isn't proving good for you, you look like more of a dumbass than ever. Secondly, all those feelings for Poland weren't apparent while signing the deal & all of a sudden you feel bad for them, Russia has always had plans to grab a lot of those areas, this is even older news. Fact is unkil made France sing like a canary.
Unfortunately Dassault has habit of paying off folks in the right places to get things done.
Scorpene delays with TOT and cost increases were hardly because of local suppliers, the issues were primarily because the French as always started getting greedy and asking for more money. Suppliers world over audited quite often specially at airframers and if Boeing cancelled a contract from an Indian vendor doesn't mean a door is closed for that vendor and having audited many a French, UK, German, US, Israeli vendors in the defence industry, I know for fact that often quality of parts from France are often the worst. Delivery performance has always been shoddy, quality often mediocre, efficiency is a term best not given to French vendors. Many private companies like L&T still supply to Boeing & Airbus etc.
