I suspect a French End User Certificate look s very like an Sales Order
and if the Russians get them eventually in return for the 'planes they are selling to Egypt they sure aren't going to complain

"Egypt has agreed to buy two Mistral helicopter carriers from France for 950 million euros after their sale to Russia was cancelled in August, and may equip them with Kamov Ka-52 helicopters from Russia."

So France say they will not be out of pocket on Flogging on two new carriers costing 900 million Euros....
It makes you wonder how redesigning two catapults for ours cost
Someone somewhere is getting shafted..... Oh wait, that's us.

In the strategic defence and security review (SDSR), the prime minister insisted the carriers would have to be converted to include "cats and traps" to allow a version of the new Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) to be catapulted from the decks and caught by arrestor wires on landing. But the Guardian has been told the cost of the modification has spiralled out of control, to between £1.9 and £2bn.
