Can't see the video through the local firewalls, but I've said it before - and I'll say it again, the French seem to get a lot of bangfor their euro.

In addition to their CV borne capabilities, elsewhere they also already get:
CSAR
BMD/SAM
MRA
something approaching what FRES should have given us
arguably, a wider range of RW and FW AT
a national capability to launch comms and surveillance satellites

and I'm sure there are other capabilities too.
