No Deal? France Says it Might Never Deliver Mistral Ships to Russia

[MarkusS]

Legally France will have to pay 1.6 billion to Russia before France can do that. If not, Russia can sink it with an air strike.




Russia extended the olive branch by buying a French ship. France will have none of that. Then fine, don't expect India to buy your Rafale. France will always remain a small country and not a super power like Russia is.

russia can sink nothing. That would be an attack against NATO. And russia can go to court over this. The court is in Brussels. Wonder how fair it will be ha ha

And a super power should be able to feed its people. Russia can´t. Its bancrupt.

France should deliver the ship. They should oblige with their contract...simple. It was signed before the current mess....no need to hijack the ship.

Why should europe sell weapons to an enemy and watch as this enemy uses this weapons later against us?

What's Germany going to do about? Germany would never fight Russia for France

Can somebody tell me why Russia doesnt build this class instead? Or does Russia lack the tech?

 

[MarkusS]

France has never been a naval power. Lost to Britain on the seas countless times. Humiliated by Horatio Nelson. Don't know why anyone would buy a French ship

Guess you have no clue what you talk about. France die build some of the most legendary ships ever constructed. Some have become legendary. The great Normandy for example.

Nope countries will still deal with France irregardless of if France cancels the deal or not. Russias case is different and unique, and wont apply for other countries. Reason France is still selling its weapons systems with several countries in the world, afterall i havent seen India cancelling its Rafale purchase(worth billions of dollars which moscow was eying and got angry for not getting the deal.lol). So many countries will stillkeep up their trade with France.

There are two issues concerning France:
1) The economy of France is not as good as some people think.
2) EU as a community is not in a position to bail out an other member state if it goes into recession (which France most likely will.)

We are NATO. An attack against one is an attack against all.

As you see we already wage a full economic war against russia just because ukraine. If Ukraine is enough reason for us to push russia into economic abyss you can be sure what we would do if thre russians attack europe. Our home

Ask Medvedev. He signed the deal.

Economy today is a farce. Silver and gold are real. Your electronic money manipulation is meaningless. Anything to do with infinity is meaningless.

As long France economy is roughly 120 times bigger than Pakistan...i think you are in no position to talk bad about them.

 

[ACE OF THE AIR]

Exactly, China as far as i know doesnt even have an LHD yet,they are still 'planning' on building one. So he can keep calling France's mistral LHD as 'crappy', while they themselves haven't been able to build one yet. thats an irony.

May be the Chinese want to buy this ship but think that it is too expensive so they might be falsifying its capabilities so that they may get price reduction.

Good enough that Putin denies pay rises to employees, tells russians that bad economic times come and that their economy is on the brink of collapse.

Don't worry neighbor.... it's just a question of time.

Germany had no money between 1939 and 1945. Didn't stop Germany from conquering just about all of Europe

Attacking a ship that legally belongs to Russia and even had the aft section built in Russia and is occupied by Russian sailors is not an attack against NATO but an attack against their own ship. If Russia was foolish enough they can just get the sailors to rig C4's to the Mistral and sink it. France would be pissed but there is nothing it would be able to do about it other then demand Russia pay for the removal of the ship, however, Russia would not be obligated to pay anything since France would owe money.
