Re: Brazil buys 50 helicopters, 5 submarines from France
... The US is still in a debacle in Iraq and Afganistan over this issue. What are the rest doing? Just waiting to see what the US will do for taking the following one of the following options: 1.

Re: Brazil buys 50 helicopters, 5 submarines from France
The Foch was sold for 80.000.000 of francs (12,2 millions of euros). My opinion is that this ship had to be sent to the brokers.
Regarding MEK, I think it is a endless debate, French and Britsh have their parts of responsibility on the loss of these 1297 crewmans.

I agree with ostriker, examples of unreliability can be found everywhere. My point is: please do not praise a supposed better reliability of French gear, simply because, as noted before in this topic, they are not better nor worse than the other's.
That's the point.

Re: Brazil buys 50 helicopters, 5 submarines from France
Nelson, I must agree with Bill, Brazil has not to complain for having bought a second hand carrieR. The Foch was out of date and Brazil was aware of what they were buying... for steel price... In my opinion, - I won't be so harmfull as Bill is -, is that every nation is proud of his own technologies...

Re: Brazil buys 50 helicopters, 5 submarines from France
Karl, it seems you are forgetting the main point: Business. It is useless to be narrow-minded, industrial powers have sold, are selling , will sell, weapons everywhere. Infortunately, the moral hasn't her place here. And it is not the case only for your -loved- France. I remind you that other count...

Re: Brazil buys 50 helicopters, 5 submarines from France
Sadly it seems that populist socialist Ignacio Lula da Silva, Brazil´s President, is keen to put his country and Latin America in trouble with an armamentist race. Not even during the dictatorship periods of the 60ies or 70ies a Latin American country has developed such an agressive and excesive pl...

Hey Karl, don't worry; it is not sure at all that the Russians are going to order anything to the "Frogs". You can sleep well. :wink: I will really hope the French sell to the ruskies their idea of stationary defense system (Maginot). Maybe the western powers sometine need them to act like...
