A representative of France’s arms purchasing agency, the Direction Generale de l’Armement, will travel to the U.S. this afternoon to talk with government authorities there about purchase conditions, including possible technology transfers, Morin told journalists at a briefing today at the Eurosatory arms trade fair outside of Paris.These are the same officials that are trying to dump A330's on the USAF after subsidizing the price. The same French officials that are ignoring NATO wishes and are going to sell Russia Mistral BPC's with tech transfer! The same French officials that have been engaged in industrial espionage against our defense sector.
The Hubris is stunning.
The Arrogance breathtaking.

Pathetic.
