Christopher Sidor, you are 100% right. With the loss of MMRCA, the brits were furious and they accused Germany. It is right that Germany is less concern by defense than UK or France and they often delayed important developments of the Typhoon. Dassault and BAE know very well each other, and British ...

According to Dassault, the Rafale M can be used on a STOBAR aircraft carrier, without modification.

As expected Germany said "nein!". The merger talks were initiated to save the Eurofighter, Dassault must be laughing, Finmeccanica must be happy. Failed merger 'opens Pandora's Box' and puts BAE in play http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/damianreece/9598947/Failed-merger-opens-Pand...

Viv, You are probably right regarding BAE and UK. I've read two interesting statements today : Finmecanica seems to be furious about the merger and consider that BAE should merge with them... Finmeca is a also a huge company even if currently they loose a lot of money, they still have good potential...

kelesis

In EADS, I don't think so, or a very very small stake... You need to obtain approvals from 3 differents states! Maybe it will be possible to invest in Saab, Dassault/Thales or Finmecanica because if the merger goes on, these companies will need parterships.

kelesis

Yes Jaybhatt, This is a very difficult deal. In this case, France, UK, EADS and BAE already agreed on terms and conditions but Germany is blocking the deal. Actually the proposed scheme is : main headquarter, Airbus, Astrium, MBDA and Eurocopter in France, and BAE (probably merged with Cassidian) in...

Saik, If the merger is authorized by the french state (which is very unlikely to happen), EADS will probably have to sell its stake in Dassault. Actually the EADS members of the Dassault board are named by the French state, the situation is not comfortable for both parties and they have been asking ...

So not much future for EADS. EADS is the parent of Airbus, so they will still be in the aircraft business.

AHAHAHAHAHAH!

This is sooooo good , With the support of India, no doubt Brazil and UAE will follow soon.

This is very very painfull for EF consortium... Wait for public reactions. I think brits and germans will split definitely and some program upgrades will be dropped.

Dassault has just hired an Indian PR firm for MMRCA. This is not something you do a few days before losing a 4 year long tender.

On the Swiss deal, it seems that the story is not really over. The choice of the gov needs the parliament approval and according to the MP in charge of the trials, the Gripen offer has 100% chances to be rejected.
