Numero Un
194,871 views
In this presentation, Éric Trappier, CEO of Dassault Aviation, offers a frank assessment of the European defense industry: Franco-German tensions surrounding the future fighter jet, French deindustrialization in the face of competition from Germany and Italy, persistent dependence on NATO and the United States, and avowed skepticism regarding the concept of "combat cloud." He also discusses the role of drones, artificial intelligence, and the human pilot in modern warfare, and addresses the often distorted comparison between the Rafale and the F-35 in public debate.
👉 On the agenda: defense, industry, Rafale, F-35, Dassault, European defense, drones, artificial intelligence, Franco-German relations, NATO, reindustrialization, fighter jet
💡 Key points covered:
A strained Franco-German relationship, against a backdrop of Germany's desire to compensate for the decline in the automotive industry with the arms industry.
France's industrial sector represents approximately 10% of its GDP, compared to 16% for Germany and nearly 20% for Italy and Switzerland.
The engine, a critical component of the future fighter jet: no aircraft can fly without it, and its development takes decades.
The "combat cloud," deemed too vague by Trappier: a true command system (C2/C3/C4) is necessary, not a marketing concept.
Small drones will never replace fighter jets: their payload is too small for heavy missions.
The F-35 has outsold the Rafale in Europe, but delivery delays are a concern. Dassault remains significantly shorter
The Eurodrone: a program currently stalled in France, absent from the military programming law
AI and automation will transform air combat, but the human pilot will remain essential, according to Trappier
Cooperating in Europe, yes, but without duplicating costs or causing the size and price of programs to skyrocket

Un atout incroyable pour la France.
Pas comme ces gouvernements, gouvernants successifs qui ne pensent qu'à leurs pourcentages ipsos et leurs électorats
plus de SCAF l'Allemagne achète americain.
Prenez soin de vous !!!
