Wonder how many Rafale they have sold lately...? All the @ss kissing or licking didn't get the Brasilian, the Indians or lately KSA to sign in the doted line. Because they let you build a dubious Renault (Dacia) and their helicopter (Puma) doesnt mean that they are fiable and their equipment viable.
Russians equipments don't have the finish of the western technology but they are more reliable in the worst adverse conditions. Something that western arms lack. Just recently in the last two Iraqui war , did you how many GI's prefered an AK 47 to their M16.?
We were building french PUMA helicopters with licence since 1975,when we were a communist state,that tells a lot about french willing to respect their business.Anyway the PUMA SOCAT was exported by Romania to many arab countries,Pakistan,etc so i don't see your problem here,they didn't "let" us ,we bought a licence.The dubious Renault/Dacia is coming to Algeria,giving you a serious investment and jobs so quit the butthurting allready.
Spare me the russian praises,the Rafale it's expensive ,if it wouldn't been heads about the Sukhois the indians,which are main russian clients wouldn't have picked it up in the MMRCA.The fact remains that russian hardware was pawned by western one in recent wars.Deal with it.
As for franco-romanian relations,better shut it up if you have no ideea what's going on in there.We have many things that tie us to the french,since the 19th century,first world war,,the fact that we are the only latin based language in eastern Europe,etc.
