“If production rates are sometimes too slow, it is because there is a temptation to work just in time and not have enough stock of raw materials or components”, to avoid tying up cash to create these shares, he explained. Especially in his eyes, the delivery time of the long-range Aster anti-aircraft missile produced by MBDA between France and Italy, which is too long in the eyes of the minister.
“The question of prioritizing military order, over civil order, among the MBDA subcontractors for the Aster missile, is something that is apparently completely understandable”, he insisted. Paris ordered 200 Aster missiles in January 2023 for 900 million euros, with delivery scheduled for 2026. However, these missiles, which earlier “Not used or for training purposes only”
According to him, Ukraine is supplied to defend its skies and two French frigates stationed in the Red Sea have fired at Houthi drones and missiles 22 times since December.“Now, we have solid operational contracts that we can rely on.”He insisted, announced “advance order” 200 additional Aster missiles.
