        Money was given in exchange for an Egyptian island.
        It is as if the GDP were sold to Shumsha by the Japanese brothers in order to build armats ...

    Yet so far no one has turned away from partnership with France after the scam of Russia with the Mistrals.
    But the Egyptians are not bad at arming themselves.

      But why should anyone "turn away" from partnership with France? "Kidalovo", as you put it, concerns only Russia, all other DCNS contracts seem to be fulfilled regularly and on time. However, everyone should be happy: we received our money and got rid of the Mistrals that were not adapted to our theaters, France sold the Mistrals to Egypt where they would be "at ease", Egypt strengthened its Navy. We ourselves need to build, and not buy from a potential enemy ... it may turn out more expensive for ourselves.

        I just remembered a lot of predictions (both official and not so much) about the hopeless damage to the credibility of France as a partner and arms supplier. And we, so as not to look humiliated, did not have to rely on the NATO "partner". I think this is a good lesson for the future.
        And the fact that we must build ourselves - I completely agree with you. Only now something is not very successful, even after the experience of working with the French.

          But actually to DCNS shipyards on the history of the Mistrals, what claims can there be? got the money - the ships were built according to the contract and on time ... and the fact that further politics intervened does not affect the fact that the shipyards work well

            It seems that we even have to sell helicopters to Egypt, under the Mistral, if we have not beaten yet.

      Yeah!! Looks EFFECTIVE! And this is the ONLY thing in it ... Well, probably still high-quality equipment and control systems ....
      That's true, the characteristics are MORE than modest ..... Well, except that the MICA SAM
      I personally would give sympathy to such a "charming freak" with MORE decent characteristics .....
      Although, as they say about "taste and color ...."

        It is at the level of our corvettes 20380. But the speed of construction is amazing.

    I must admit that they are building quickly, but the price tag is just frantic.

      And what is the price tag mad? You can say the highways were budget, and the speed of construction .... we have to grow and grow at such a pace.

    Well, why are the modest characteristics? If it is positioned as a corvette, then, in principle, the characteristics are average. Displacement - 2600 tons allows you to position it as a small frigate. Then the characteristics become quite modest. But still - is there air defense? - Yes, there are anti-ship missiles - PLO is modest but there is, there is a helicopter, a small gun too. For Egypt will do.
