Le Francais way of ToT.
@BON PLAN
I suspect this is one of the many reasons Naval Group got booted out of the Australian Submarine Program & also the reason the Norwegians never considered you a serious prospect apart from the Malaysians accusing you of acting in bad faith .
You may possibly argue the Aussies are never getting that N submarine thru AUKUS & you'd probably be right but that doesn't take away from the fact that NG's reputation precedes it & you were kicked out of a project which'd have earned NG billions. Damn! I nearly invested in NG shares myself.
Levity apart this is probably the reason MoD is taking its own sweet time tying up negotiations where they seem to be running thru every minute detail with a fine hair comb for there's a total lack of trust given our experiences with le francais in the Scorpene project & later with Dassault during the negotiations of the now scrapped MMRCA project. This doesn't augur well for the outcome of the project.
It's seems to be once bitten twice shy in which case one can see the dilemma of our security establishment. Having signed the contract & invested billions if le francais get up at the eleventh hour & refuse to accept terms they've already agreed to, the entire program will be stranded not to mention the AMCA project which will be severely handicapped.
