Oh goody. Why does Russia need one of these? And why is France selling them one?
It is the same with Israel selling the Russians and Chinese UAV technology. The Iranians are going to end up with it.
Russia wants this carrier so they can finish their conquest of the Caucasus nations. The French just want to make money.They should be booted out of NATO for the sale. Ul;timately when the Russians are finished they will sell it either to India or Iran.
