Mistrals And Poland: All The Markets France Might Lose

-


As Euronaval is going on, here is a good detailed reminder for the French government about each tender France might lose in Poland if it decides to go ahead and deliver the Mistral to Putin.

Polish Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak explained on the 29th of September that Poland might prefer to chose the American Raytheon instead of the French MBDA/Thales as missiles shield supplier for an amount of 5.8 billion euros, would France decide to deliver the Mistrals to Russia.
He only mentioned the most important market where France is competing in the big upgrade of Poland's Army. Here are the details for the other markets France might lose in case the Mistrals are delivered to Russia:
MarketAmountFranceCompetitor
Missile shield system5.8 billion eurosAster-30 (Eurosam, MBDA/Thales)Patriot (Raytheon, USA)
70 multirole-oriented helicopters2.5 to 3 billion eurosEC725 Caracal (Airbus Helicopters)S-70 (Sikorsky, USA)
3 submarines1.8 billion eurosScorpène (DCNS)U212A (TKMS, Allemagne)
6 corvettes1.3 billion eurosGowind (DCNS)Sigma (DAMEN, Hollande)
32 attack helicoptersmore than 1 billion eurosTigre EC-665 (Airbus Helicopters)Apache AH-64 (Boeing, USA)
You can add to that:
- The potential market of 64 multirole military airplanes where the French Dassault could try to sell its Rafale (competitor is the American Lockheed Martin with the F35)
- A nuclear plant (15 billion euros). Even though it is not military equipment, this market is potentially endangered too.
- Rumors of Poland willing to order a BPC Mistral (BPC-140) (DCNS)
For DCNS/STX only (which is building the Mistrals), more than 3.1 billion euros can be lost, years of work for hundreds of people in St Nazaire.

La page Facebook RT France gagne depuis début Décembre 2017 entre 70 000 et 110 000 abonnés par semaine sans raisons particulière. Elle est ainsi passée subitement de 500 000 à 850 000 abonnés en un mois et est en passe de devenir l'une des plus grosses page d'information sur Facebook. La plupart des nouveaux abonnés proviennent d' Afrique et non de France. Détail de l'analyse et mise à plat des donnés disponibles. NOTE: Cet article est une version restaurée de l'article pru sur "NoMistralsForPutin.com", lequel a été piraté et n'est plus accessible. Par rapport à la version initiale, il manque de nombreux graphiques.

No Mistrals for Putin is a non political activist group and none of its actions can be endorsed by any political party

Dear Friends, We were a very small group of French people, based in Nantes, Dublin and Kyiv. We started to alert the world opinion about Mistrals at the end of February 2014. In France, nobody used to care about this deal that was supposed to create jobs and deliver vessels with no military resources. These vessels were supposed to be some kind of ferry boats or floating hospital. We knew they were war ships that could be used for invasion. We knew they were the best tool for Russia in order to keep control of Crimea. We knew they would be a serious threat for many countries of the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. We remember our first messages to Ukrainian people. They could not believe what we were saying: France selling invasion war ships to Putin, Ukraine's invader??? Eventually, we were lucky enough to have some great people following us from the beginning and spread the word. All together we succeeded in step one: alert public opinion and create international movements. All t...

Sabordage des Mistral: récits d’une Маскировка Kremlin – Front National à Saint Nazaire

-
Image
En mai 2015, Jean-Claude Blanchard et Gauthier Bouchet, deux élus du Front National de Saint Nazaire, ont étroitement collaboré avec les services de propagande du Kremlin en relayant, voire en inspirant, l’hallucinante mystification du sabordage des Mistral, les grands navires d’invasion initialement construits pour appuyer le néo-impéralisme de Vladimir Poutine. Même si les années ont passé, cette opération de désinformation et de manipulation de l’opinion ainsi que des médias reste un modèle de maskirovka (Маскировка) conduite en dehors de tous principes moraux dans le cadre de la guerre hybride que les siloviki mènent contre des pays qu’ils veulent pousser à la discorde et au chaos. Un évènement aussi insensé aurait été impossible si ses promoteurs n’avaient pas eu une connaissance intime des faiblesses de notre société grâce aux lumières et aux conseils de leurs complices locaux. Cette affaire scandaleuse présente, malgré ses ramifications internationales, l’avantage d’une qua...
