No more money for toys for grown up problematic kids at all?
Or you suggest to choose EU produced death-aircrafts like mirage or others (do we have others) ?
France has a habit of entering into pan-European programs to develop fighter jets, then demanding that most of the parts be made in France. Last time this led to France exiting the Eurofighter project and building the Rafale. This time it’s possible that Germany and Spain might leave the FCAS project and join the UK, Italy, and Japan in the GCAP project, which would lead to another exclusively French fighter.
Admittedly, the French are really good at building fighter aircraft. Their insistence on not sharing their expertise with the test of Europe is annoying, though.

Have you not heard about the Eurofighter or the Gripen?
Or the Rafale, for that matter.

Mirage 2000 is old. Like, 1980s vintage.
Modern ones are Rafale and EF Typhon. Those are completely made in France or Europe respectively.
Gripen E is mostly made in Sweden and Europe. But the engine is made in USA by GE.
Aircrafts and military vehicles ought to be outpaced pieces of technology, according to 80s demilitarising world expectations
