Well, Airbus could also build it alone, I think the idea was to have multiple companies involved for having the profits distributed.
And multiple countries to distribute the costs.
Exactly. There never was a doubt that a company like Dassault could build such a plane alone, but that, given the Rafale experience, it is financially unviable to do so.
They may be able to, but they shouldn’t. We need a European army and that requires a military industry that stops thinking about old borders.
Of course they can. But just because they can doesn’t mean they should. They are already in a public debt crisis, why add hundreds of billions more to that.
Come on, France24, spill the tea. What is the actual conflict line?
Just merge with some German firms and then Dassault can built it in Germany. Something like Hensoldt would be a good target.
