US ANGERED WITH FRANCE BY RENEGING UPGRADE CONTRACT FOR E-3F

The U.S. has angered the French Air Force by reneging on a 2010 contract to upgrade the four French E-3F AWACS (Air Warning And Control System) aircraft.

The agreed on price is $466 million, and now the U.S. wants to tack on another $5 million so the promised technology can be degraded.

This is all because some American bureaucrat decided that some of the upgrade technology was too sensitive for the French and had to be taken out of the upgrade.
