We are not Under US control !
I hope UK leave EU.
Our only link with USA is NATO. To have a unit army and politic entity, it's that our goal.

And we wil never forget US help us during WW1 and WW2...
Yeah... Just learn your main parties history to prove yourself under US control.
Another one is Bretton-Woods financial system by which none of EU countries have its own gold but have dollars as reserve currency.
And a NATO of course...

I'm OK with the beginning.
A super power? There is no superpower today. US are looking Inside their own borders. China is growing and it will probably be the next superpower. Russia is to weeak, even if you're better.... but oïl price is a new threat for you.
Oil and gas are just under 25% in GDP. The rest is hi tech industry, agriculture and services. So it is not so dangerous if not the FRS submitting Central Bank, but this is another interesting story :)

What happened in WW2 should not be a reason to create a basis for WW3.

Think about it and then answer.

The discussion about superpower (who is and who is not) is a needless discussion.

The discussion should be about human values and a just society.

NATO militarism has gone beyond reasonable limits. Aggressive behaviour of NATO inspires Muslims, China and Russia to do the same. It has become law of the jungle.

Quality of your engineers are not seen in your car industry... or submarine one (Koursk) !

Quality and quantity are two différents things.
Every country has its speciality and where it dominates, Russians are never known for their cars, the Germans are, When anyone talks of top 5 cars, they are now either German or Japanese followed quite far off by the americans . The French are there just to make up the numbers. The Qualify of Russian engineering is excellent, and specially in designing. The Russians have came up with many designs those have seen operations. Also.
Lets see, There are the MiG15 to 19 and Su-7 which are swept back wings, There is MiG-21 and Su-15 with its triangular wing, There are Mig-23 Mig-27 Su-22 Su-24, Tu-144 with the Variable Swept wings. There is Yakolev planes which are VTOL and in a way, there seems that Lockheed were adviced in technical area by the Yakolev engineers for the F-35 B version VTOL version.. Also lets not forget the long ranged bombers T-16, Tu-20, Mya-4 the worlds heaviest plane An--225 .. the worlds most destructive Submarine Typhoon class, Then there also is the worlds deepst going attack submarine Alfa class, Also first Sattleite... first man in outer space.... Does anyone remember any french in outer space? Maybe an author who just wrote a fantasy. Now these are all the various enginnering achievements, Further in aviation there is Su-30, Su-35 and now PAKFA... unparalled...
In all these years, the French hav ejust come up with one design, and just tried to squeeze it out .. Mirage III, Delta wing,,,... Mirage 2000 again a delta, and inspired by SAAB viggen the french decided to add Canards to Mirage 2000 to make it "excellent plane" Can the french boast of an operational heavy or medium transport that was actually designed to be a military transport plane? How about VTOL plane, any ever operational aircraft made? How about Variable wings made on your own and in operation? Let the french not talk of Engineering achievements or Quality of engineers. By the way, when we buy defence equipment, we buy seeing their defence equipment and not cars..

China has edged out India in consumer products. When India cannot compete with its cheap labour, how can Russia compete?

I am hearing that quality of Russian made vehicles has improved a lot.
By the way, do get over the notion that China has cheap labour, Even the cheap factories in Guangdong are no longer viable, the cost of labour has risen in China. The only place now where China can compete is Automation and they are doing en masse. The cost of labour has risen highly in south China in particular and China over all. It seems that now the Chinese are using their surplus to now pump into the economy

Once again : NO !



This is one of the most secure areas of the French Republic. Sise eighth basement of the Bank of France , in the Ist arrondissement of Paris , " the Underground ", a spectacular bunker - hall of 11,000 square meters , houses between its 658 columns gold reserves of France 2435 tonnes precious metal coins and bullion. At current gold prices , the national hoard amounted to over 110 billion euros. After the US and Germany, France is neck and neck with Italy , the third holder of gold in the world. But the robbers changed their minds , the Saturn temple is inviolable...

Who think about WW3? No one in Europe.
a kind of WW3 is already running, against islamic terrorism.
And next hot point will be china sea.... between US (and its regional allies) and china. It's my opinion. But everybody may have its own idea.

Aggressive behaviour of NATO
??? aggressive behavior of NATO ?

Discussing of that with another european is reasonable (and Russia is in the european continent and share european history), but such an assesment from a stranger...... I'm afraid you're not perfectly informed my friend.

About french plane, you just forget Ouragan and Mirage F1, Etendard and Super Etendard: classical tailored planes, . You forget Super Mirage 4000 which is a delta canard plane (not a pure delta). Delta is not a Dassault invention. Why do you think other european fighter makers used this for their last production (Ex Panavia was a swept wings.... why do they change? answer to that and you will understand why Dassault is THE Delta specialist) ?
You forget others manufacturers : Sud Aviation Vautour (classical plane used by Indians).

Mirage 2000 doesn't have Canard. They are called "aigrettes" in french. It's the name of a bird (see right picture). Why ? II don't know...

EF has the same dispositiif. Added to Canard, because it's two different things.

Japan is unlikely to fire the first shot in south china sea. So it is a waiting game between USA and China, as to who blinks first.

If China is really pissed off, the first marker would be North Korea doing something stupid.

However I see a lot of stupidity in Europe right now. I give problems in Europe a higher probability of starting a war.

Russia is mostly in Asia. Check your map. The European part of Russia is less.

The eastward expansion of NATO, stationing of nukes in Poland, and forward deployment of NATO land forces are landmark events.

German and American meddling in Ukraine has a greater probability of sparking a world war compared to Muslim problems.

So you come with just one name? Maybe add Super Etendard, which has very high accident rate..
Mirage 4000 was it operational ? I dont think so, Sud aviation.. does it exist?
Dassault has only one design and thats what they are trying to use... ITs like extracting juice out of sugar cane..

When did this thread become Russia VS France thread? Russia on any given day is a lot wealthier, they are sitting on some of the largest deposits of dimoands, oil, natural gas etc. Russia on the long run has way more tangiable assets & natural resources. Russians only need to make more babies.

It's your opinion. Not mine. Let's see.... Hope nothing wrong arriving.

See what NON DELTA these planes are....

And about Sud Aviation which become Aerospatiale (which create Exocet... just open Google) :

"Sud-Aviation is a French aircraft manufacturer born March 1, 1957 the merger of the National Society of southwest aeronautical constructions ( SNCASO ) and the National Society of Southeast aeronautical constructions ( SNCASE ) .

It is known to the public by its Caravelle and Concorde aircraft , its Alouette helicopters, Hornet and Puma.

It is also manufacturer of household appliances (washing machine , dishwasher ) under brand names for consumer FRIGEAVIA / Téléavia at the turn of the 1960s .

In 1970, it merged with Nord Aviation and Aerospace SEREB to create the National Industrial ( SNIAS ), called Aerospatiale"


Anything else my poor Smestarz ?

Variable geometry planes? VTOL? Too complicated for French "superior " technology?
