That was the big deal in France in February :
The french governement were very happy to export the plane.
The former governement was jealous because they had announced that they would export the Rafale and they always failed
.
Some people are unhappy because "we sell planes to a dictator supported by people who also support Islamists"
(of course, if those people were in the governement, they would not say this)
The French Air Force is not very happy because the planes sold to Egypt are taken out of the French production line => delivery delays
Edit : and also because the training of the Egyptian pilots is straining the workload of Rafale units, already heavily committed elsewhere
....
Welcome to french politics
Edit : anyway, I am happy because this deal gives some work to a lot of my friends
Yes, I did this too
