The French were smart to keep all their military tech home-produced, and not rely on anything American. All of Europe (& Canada & S American countries, too) needs to do the same.

    It's hard when the USA send lobbyists and pays a bunch of people in high places to cancel local projects and convince others that it's a waste of money and time to developed technology since they can buy it from the USA.
