Because France has never sold as Gust and weapons for ten years to put record in favor of a president and a defense minister … left. The past year has seen the counters of export orders panic to reach the historic amount of € 16 billion. An unprecedented amount, doubling the record score of 2014 and allows the mass recruitment sector. The arms being sold products average 90% in France and relocated some jobs, the creation of jobs is estimated at 40 000. The number of jobs in the French defense industry should gradually increase from 165,000 to more 200 000 2018. Originally these results, several factors.
