Selling the most advanced aircraft that you are capable of building
to obviously hostile, repressive regimes is not the act of a "friend"

Al, you do realise that France is not part of the Eurofighter consortium
and so is only interested in selling Rafale? (Which story hasn't
appeared... yet).

Hum,hum!...
Who builds the Typhoon?Isn't it EADS?
Which is....xx % french! (40 as far as I remember (?))

Of course,we are far more interested in selling Rafales that Typhoons.
But we're still concerned by the last one.


Now me, I'd be more worried about how military technology seems to go to
Israel and then appear in Beijing shortly thereafter, but that's just
me.
