I understand that V.Zelensky needs to light a counterfire to divert attention from corruption cases. However, he should know by now that French industry does not like to make public announcements about ongoing transactions.

A comment (and a smile) on the performative thinking of many so-called experts regarding Russian missile interceptions in Ukraine.
They do not want a PAC3 MSE missile to be less effective than the previous generation Aster 30, so for them it is impossible that this could be the case.

Wagner is going to leave Mali. The Africa Corps will replace them, with a more state-oriented dimension. Not only were the remnants of the first group unable to hold the country, but they were probably incapable of ensuring the security of the exploitation and transport of country resources.

This post claims this is the largest arms export contract.

This type of misinformation comes as no surprise.
FYI, the rafale deal with the UAE was much bigger, 16 billions.
This is the second rafale contract with India and not the last one.
