my bad, didnt know france resumed production! are you sure they can produce enough to supply ukraine with what they need though?

The Alliance of the Willing, until it isn't ...

Lenin once said that “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” Update: "The Europeans will squabble over the crumbs of who gets which weapons order, until we hang them one by one."

But this is from the Daily Telegraph. Take with a pinch of salt.

The UK is already produces storm shadows at full capacity and is expanding, with their own funds. There is no reason for EU funds to come bankroll the UK on this while they already produce at max capacity themselves.

Telegraph trying to stir up nationalism in the UK - nothing to see here!

That’s fair. 🇬🇧 left the 🇪🇺 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷

The Telegraph's article is behind a paywall, so we have no idea of the actual content. But yes, my taxes should go to EU-made weapons. Brexit sucked. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Bullshit. You are gullible.

Let's not forget what lying little englanders are like. France did not sell any Exocet to the argies during the conflict. France provided Mirage III for dissimilar combat training to the FAA during the conflict so Shar pilots had a good idea of the tactics to use against the Argie Mirage III.

Another win for farage and brexit. Rus win of course.

Yes

Je pense que de toute façon, la situation doit être plus complexe qu'il n'y paraît dans la mesure où les Storm Shadow et les SCALPS sont un seul et même missile issu d'une coopération franco britannique antérieure au Brexit.

Thanks for the translation heads-up. Firefox makes it easy..

This is how Defeat gets snatched from the jaws of Victory. Over and over and over again.

Interestingly, it's a 4 tier system. With France apparently trying to make acces to the 3rd (🇬🇧) tier more difficult (but not impossible):

It should be spent on whatever is needed.

* Storm shadow and Scalp are the same missile, it depends who produced it BAE or MBDA

Nobody excluded the UK. There is a tiered priority for the use of the eu funds eermarked for ukraine. Ukrainian industry, then EU industry, then UK industry, then the world. These are EU funds. The UK was offered to contribute proportionally to have equal access (like EU states) but you refused.

Sipri also shows the UK globally manufactures 33bn and France 22bn ... the argument still stands as the UK builds lots of things in the US for the US...

This is a story from the Telegraph, not the highest standard for journalism. If the UK have them to spare, I'm sure they would just give them to Ukraine. Moreover Storm Shadows are a joint French/UK production, so no reason for France not to invest in their production either... I doubt it's accurate

Which is why this reporting sounds a lot like fake outrage baiting by the Telegraph, as they often do

A more in-depth look at this issue. However it leaves open the biggest question, which is time-to-deliver. www.aerotime.aero/articles/fra...

Give Ukraine 🇺🇦 the Storm Shadows 👍

The Telegraph *says something bad about France and the EU* The brits « Let’s vote for Brexit then. Oh, Wait ! »

The UK is already producing at full capacity and expanding, with their own funds. There is no reason for EU funds to come bankroll the UK on this while they already produce at max capacity themselves.

Torygraph, or should that be deform now? Bullshit.

Who ever would have thought the once august Telegraph would print anti-French propoganda? The standards slip, then they fell!

I don't disagree but for the sake of Ukraine a few stormshadows from the UK should be allowed.

Yet another ‘benefit‘ of #Brexit - we don’t get to sell our missiles.

The Telegraph supported Loony Liz Truss 🥬 for Tory leadership, lied about Covid lockdowns, and denies climate change. And brexit, of course The only thing that surprises me about the Telegraph is that it's not printed in Cyrillic GBNews picked it up from Telegraph, but that's backed by putin too

Exactly the point. In order to produce and build new production lines, we need orders.

I'll confess I haven't done an exhaustive research, but not that I could find, no.

yet There whole political system looks awfully like the US. Brexit was a result of Cambridge Analytica with deep roots with Trump and the Heritage Foundation ( project 2025 ) which has roots with Kremlin propaganda network. "pings" between a server at Trump Tower and Russia's Alfa Bank.

Ah, the EU dance.

France produces the same and is part of EU, why don't they buy 2/3 in France and 1/3 in england ?

But maybe the article is just anti-EU/France bullshit, let's take that with a grain of salt when it's the only source and we know it's biased...
