When the whole world turned their back on India and Pakistan because of their nuclear games; Russia, China and France were the ones rushing in to fill the void.
During the 11 year armistice with Iraq, it was the French who along with the other bottom feeders rushed in and most likely even were involved in Roland sales shortly before wars begin (Although they deny it, but we own the missiles found in Iraq). Look at today with Libya. If you look at some of the Russian planes with advanced avionics you’d be surprised where much was developed or even came from, France. In fact India is looking at the MIG29 with a French HMCS, GPS etc. You might want to check out where some of the newer Chinese GSR systems came from, what the newer Russian FLIR technology is based on……..
Oh yea, among the NATO counties and the West, the French are the bottom feeder. They will do deals with those others won’t.
