And France gets their weapons from .... Where?
Do they actually make any?
Dassault Aviation, EADS and NEXTER, a government-owned arms manufacturer. They have their own aircraft carrier, the Dassault Rafale fighter jet and the LeClerc tank.
Remember, the French build their own nuclear weapons. The French are independent and don’t want to be vassals to other nations.
Back in the day, the French where the only country willing to sell Israel modern fighter jets.
