    Not doubting his general point. But it is a bit weird of Mr Gomart to pick the Rafale to prove it.

    It is precisely what happened there (France leaving the Eurofighter Typhoon programme and doing their own model due to not being able to find a common compromise) that cripples European alternatives and enables American models to dominate our market.

    Would we be able to agree on common standardised models, we could have far more for far less and it could be European.

        …and there’s nothing wrong with that. We just all (!) need to understand the errors from the past in order to not repeat them. I would have liked him making a slightly more deliberate statement more.
