The French side day after day carries large economic losses as a result of non-fulfillment of conditions of the concluded with the Russian Federation of the contract for the supply of "Mistral", including the result of the need to prevent remaining in the country of the helicopter.
In this regard, the Paris ready in the shortest possible time to get rid of the ships, in addition ready to make a deal even at the not quite favorable for power conditions.
Russia and France continue its consideration of a contract for the supply of "Mistral", at that time, as all the analysts and experts believe that the supply of ships will not happen, and Paris will have to pay compensation to Moscow. It inspires French correspondents more laborious refers to the numbers and start to calculate how much power will lose the result of similar decisions.
So, France is ready to return to Russia all made her earlier funds. Also, Moscow is insisting on payment of compensation for crew training, development of helicopters and installation, also Dismounting, domestic communications. With all this, the maintenance of equipment in the normal mode complete shipbuilding company DCNS in 1 - 2 million euros each month.
To return even a portion of the losses, Paris is going to immediately sell the helicopter, but then the question remains - who will be the buyer. So, the French Navy already have at his own disposal 3 ships of this class, and they don't need new. Besides all this, they have the French Navy no funds.
"France needs urgently to find clients. But Canada, which in this context often referred to, is not classified a light client", reports TASS referring to the French business newspaper "Eco". And the client can act India.
But the two powers know about the problems of France in connection with the helicopter, and the spending that every month she brings in this regard. Because the position for bargaining Paris is quite disadvantageous. In addition to all this, you will need to reconstruct the ships under the demands of new customers. So, if India would agree to buy them, then with the "Mistral" will need to remove a powerful heating system and make other constructive configuration.
Therefore, the implementation does not compensate for all costs incurred by power and DCNS in this situation. "As a result of specifically French taxpayer risks being forced to fork out in order to repay some of the costs, which will be accompanied by the implementation of these "Mistral" - according to French correspondents.
