They are at the 3-4 place in sales of weapons.
These corvettes are Egypt's starting customer. The lead "El Fateh" is already in Egypt. Three more ships are being built for Egypt.

From the point of view of French politicians, democracy in the UAE is flourishing, so the political risks that the French government will block the deal are very minimal.

She wouldn’t have to “blossom” with such a lot of money, and most importantly - Emirate-style democracy subsidizes expensive purchases in the form of American weapons, Russian missile defense systems and French corvettes, for which you only have to shake 11 princes and one and a half hundred officials (part-time relatives) .

Lelek, they have fun there:
... there were princes,
will become Golondrans ...
Already, he spoke in poetry from such pleasant news. As if these deprived people did not organize a revolution, class !!!

Well, they won’t become starving, they’ll leave them golden tremors and a couple of limousines, and they’ll take a few heads off, the rest will be “modest” - after all, relatives don’t take off their hide (the clan of the king has one and a half thousand relatives, so it's not great decrease).
