Probably not a good idea to pee off the Israelis. Frances record of late in the face off department is ...lousy. Even there tanks have 1 forward gear and 5 reverse. I remember the fast moving ocean craft that the Israelis bought from them and they wouldn't deliver. Israelis snuck and "liberated" them with the entire town near Marseilles complicit in the "liberation". In the 70's I think.

I had not heard of this. Can you give a few more details or a link? Sounds like a fun read.
