reasons including Dassault lobby & France was also a participant in Typhoon before bailing because of various but also some similar reasons. No matter how problematic Germans was & is, there's 2 multinational fighter programs to their name. French had one in SEPECAT Jaguar & that was long time ago.

That's because despite Germany being problematic, we also have proofs of it being a somewhat manageable problem most of the time with Tornado and Typhoon happening. Tornado was predated by UKVG that was predated by AFVG(Anglo French Variable Geometry) that the French ended up bailing for various-

Yeah but I don't think all of them online at once and even then, more launchers is always nice to have when you're relatively speaking stocked with ammo.

Honestly, IMHO, it's not the missile count that's lacking, it's the battery count.

A very difficult task not only because of the modern requirements, but also because across the years the vehicles had been customized in various variations for all kinds of roles that would be hard to consolidate into one base platform.
