Germany’s refusal to supply Eurofighter Typhoon to Riyadh becomes good news for Dassault. According The galery, Saudi Arabia asked the French aircraft manufacturer to bid for the purchase of 54 Rafale. If Dassault has not confirmed anything, the Minister of the Armed Forces took it upon himself to do so on Monday. Questioned by journalists during the reception of the Armenian Minister of Defense, Sébastien Lecornu validated the information.
According The galeryIt would be a contract for the acquisition of 54 French combat aircraft. Riyadh reportedly asked Dassault to make a price offer by November 10. This emergency would affect Germany, which opposes the Eurofigther Typhoon contract that London is trying to sign with the Saudis.
Paris and Dassault Aviation fear that with this request the Rafale will play “the role of a hare” to subdue Berlin, which at the same time asked the Saudis to intervene to free the German hostages held by Hamas in Gaza during the ‘October 7 terrorist attack against Israel.
