  1. Qu'est ce qui indique que ce serait vrai ce que tu as fourni ? Rien, absolument rien ...

    C'est sur, rien, ca reste des discussions entre "collègues/client/fournisseur" et je n'ai aucune preuves "papier"

    Mais qui dit que c'est complètement faux  :lol:

    Comme on dit "il n'y a pas de fumée sans feux" et quand ces "échos" sont en plus repris par des gens DCNS, je peux me dire que même si certains en rajoutent, il y a quand même une part de vérité.

    On sait bien que tous les gros programmes rencontres des soucis, pourquoi pas celui la

    Mon but était juste d'expliquer que les décalages annoncés par le ministre (pour cause soit disant financière), ne venait pas forcément de cette explication "officielle" et que de plus il pourrait être encore plus important

    Même si ces pb se confirmaient, je ne crois pas que l'on aura la moindre infos "officielle" de DCNS

    Ils ne vont pas crier sur les toits qu'ils rencontres des problèmes.

    Tant que cela reste gérable niveau délai et technique, ils vont gérer cela en interne.

    Concernant les délais, je n'invente rien, le ministre à bien confirmer fin 2012 un décalage de 6 mois de la livraison du Suffren.

    Il vient de confirmer (cette semaine) un ralentissement sur ce programme

    A discuter avec des soudeurs/chaudronniers.... (anciens collègues passé DCNS)......travaillant sur le programme, je peux te dire que celui ci à subi un bon coup de frein ces derniers temps

    Sur la partie coque ca irait pas trop mal, mais c'est sur toute la partie aménagement interne qu'ils rencontres des soucis.

    Le temps que tout cela soit réglé, les gens sont au ralenti sur certains éléments.

    Concernant les entreprises/personnels qui ont quitté le site (CMN entre autre) , je n'ai pas dit qu'elles avaient été virées (ce qui indiquerait qu'elles auraient commis des erreurs), c'est toi qui parle de "purge"

    Je dis que leur contrat n'a pas été prolongé/renouvelé pour cause de baisse de cadence sur le programme Barracuda.

    C'est quand même différent du point de vue de celui qui part.

    Je pense qu'ici ont est pas dans la même situation que celle que tu a connu.

    Sur ce chantier, la séléction (des s/t) est faite par DCNS à la base, il ne peux pas y avoir de sous-traitant illégitime.

    Il faut pouvoir y rentrer, c'est pas forcément facile, alors même si tu te fait "virer" ou que rencontre des pb, tu fais profils bas, DCNS reste un bon client, alors si tu veux revenir tu a intêret à pas trop la "ramener"

    Le monde de la chaudronnerie est petit sur Cherbourg, tout le monde se connait et sait ce qui se passe.

    On retrouve toujours les mêmes boites.

    Tu ne peux pas te permettre de cracher sur intel ou intel sans que ca fasse le tour et te retombe dessus.

  2. En l'état tu nous donnes + l'impression que tu es simplement en train de colporter des aigreurs de sous traitants qui se sont fait virer du chantier ... Non ?

    Car quand ça arrive, bien évidemment pour les concernés ça devient le vide ordure ou on déballe son aigreur ... D'un environnement ou "les autres font toujours rien que dla merde et nous du travail de pro ..."

        Je dis ça, car ça me rappel les super ambiances de purges sur les chantiers publics de conseils régionaux faisant construire un collège ou Lycée ou que sais je d'autres ... Dont il y a toujours une collection qui se font éjecter du chantier pour présence illégitime non prévue par l'appel d'offre (des sous traitants envoyés illégalement par la boite qui a remporté l'appel d'offre et qui finissent souvent par se faire pincer : car dur dur de se faire passer pour qui on est pas pendant des semaines ... Avant de fourcher et que le pot au roses apparaisse ...)

      On les recroise dans les bars locaux le soir purgeant la fin de leur déplacement pendant que patron essai de négocier un retour discrétosss ou que sais je, vas y que ça envoie du bois sur le boulot des autres vu qu'ils n'ont plus qu'a ruminer, et que ce chantier c'est rien que dla merde et une usine a gaz et cie ... (du vu et du revu ...)

      Et bon la tu nous dis qu'il y a eu des gens non DCNS qui se sont fait purger du chantier ... Je crois vite comprendre de quoi il en retourne sur les critiques et les comérages qui en ressortent ... Même genre de contexte que ce dont je parle + haut ou au final les éjectés fulminent et en racontent un peu trop

      (je dis pas que sur le chantier DCNS des gens illégitimes y étaient, surtout pour un chantier d'un engin avec des systèmes potentiellement couvert par le secret défense ça me paraitrait gros ... Je dis simplement ça ressemble aux fulminations des contextes de chantier public ou c'est la foire aux sous traitants pas sensés être la et qui ruminent quand ils se font pincer et donc éjecter)

      Probablement que c'est parti de sous traitants non DCNS priés de quitter un chantier après une connerie, et qui en rajoutent du lourd sur la barraque, vu que tu nous dis qu'il y a purge du chantier manifestement ...

    Ou la, la c'est toi qui interprète mes propos...........Aprés tu crois ce que tu veux

    je suis peux être un sous-traitants "aigris"..........va savoir =D

    Mais à  aucun moment je "crache" sur DCNS.

    (J'ai eu l'occasion de voir le chantier Barracuda, franchement j'ai été impressionné par leur maitrise en formage/soudage sur la coque c'est super pointu ce qu'ils font)

    Ces infos ne viennent pas forcément des sous-traitants mais des personnels "marine" et DCNS

    Et pour les sous-traitants par qui ces infos fuitent, ils sont toujours sur le chantier et ne vont pas partir de suite, je les voient mal "cracher dans la soupe".

    Ca serait 1 ou 2 infos encore, mais la, comme je le dit plus haut ca viens d'un peu partout.

    Le gros soucis de DCNS, c'est la perte de compétences, avec la baisse de charge et les départ amiante, ils ont "virés" pas mal d'anciens.

    En 2/3 ans, Pas mal de jeunes sont arrivés à la prépa, service achats, planif,soudage mais la construction navale et encore plus les SM, c'est bien particulier.

    Ils ont débaucher pas mal de personnels des boites locales (il y a eu une vrai "saignée" dans les effectifs de certains boite de chaudronnerie / mécanique)

    En attendant de maitriser tout ces procédés spécifiques, et que les gens soient opérationnel il y a de la casse.

    Je crois que c'est 4/5 ans pour un soudeur coque.................

  3. Il y aurait moyen que tu me fasse le calcul pour le Chally 1, 2 ainsi que le Abrams ? les ricains prétendent que ce dernier à déjà atteint les 60 miles sans le régulateur de vitesse

    Oui, j'ai lu ca aussi, que durant La première guerre du Golfe, certains abrams auraient été "poussés" à près de 100 km dans le desert.............

  4. Les Italiens ont quelques soucis avec leurs drones US =

    Frustrated by apparent U.S. ambivalence in granting authority to integrate weapons onto its Reaper aircraft, the Italian air force is looking at possible alternatives, including a yet-to-be-announced “black program” to create a European medium-altitude/long-endurance (MALE) armed UAV.

    Rome requested permission to weaponize Reaper nearly two years ago, and a lack of response from Washington is “a case that is not very acceptable,” Gen. Claudio Debertolis, secretary general of defense and national armaments director for Italy, tells Aviation Week during a May 8 interview.

    Italy purchased the General Atomics MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper systems because they could be more quickly fielded to support soldiers in Afghanistan than building a UAV in Europe. The decision has put Italy at the whim of the U.S. government in terms of upgrades. But weaponizing these UAVs is a “high priority” for Italian forces, says Gen. Alberto Rosso, logistics branch chief for the Italian air force.

    “The U.S. is not the only country with the capability to provide those capabilities,” he says. “If we are unable to meet those requirements, we are already looking for alternatives.”

    Along those lines, Rome is in talks with potential European partners to move forward with a weaponized UAV that Debertolis refers to as a “Super MALE.” One of its principal requirements would be for it to deploy weapons, he says.

    This is a “black program,” Debertolis says, providing little details. Work has not yet begun because partners haven’t yet agreed on a way ahead. But the goal would be to field something using existing technology by around 2017. This project, if it moves forward, could be unveiled at the Paris air show in Le Bourget next month, he says.

    Nonetheless, Rosso insists that weaponizing the existing Italian Predators and Reapers is still the “preferred way ahead” and “we are still confident that the political sensitivities will be overcome in [the] U.S.”

    This situation is further soured for Italy because the U.K. has been granted the authority to begin integration of the MBDA Brimstone missile onto the Reaper, using U.S. Air Force assets for the project so as not to interrupt the service of U.K. Reapers for Royal Air Force soldiers in Afghanistan. Brimstone is akin to a Hellfire modified with a tandem-charge warhead optimized against armored targets and a millimeter-wave radar. Furthermore, the U.K.’s Reapers already employ the Hellfire and 500-lb. GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bomb.

    Italy has been operating the MQ-1 Predator in Afghanistan and is preparing to rotate its new Reapers into Afghanistan and bring the Predators home. Officers had hoped to have the integration ready for this transition. But a response to the request has taken so long that now, even if granted, there is little money to fund it, Rosso says.

  5. Modernisation des BMP- Finlandais =

    Material department of army has signed a contract of modernizing its BMP-2 IFV's with two Finnish companies. Conlog Oy and Oricopa Oy will both modernize one IFV to be tested. The value of the contract is 4.2M€.

    The modernized BMP-2 will have new night vision scopes for both driver and gunner and improved stealth against IR. The contract has option for modernization of around 100 vehicles and maintenance for them.

    Defense Ministry will decide after the evaluation which company will get the deal. Finland acquired the vehicles in 90's through bilateral trade. With the modernization the vehicles are expected to work until 2030

    Gerald R. Ford's Hull Reaches 100 Percent Structural Completion

    On May 7, Newport News Shipbuilding hoisted the last piece of primary structure onto the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78). The 66-metric-ton unit is the forward end of one of the ship's catapults, which is used to launch aircraft from the ship. The lift was the last of 162 superlifts for the carrier and brings more than three years of structural erection work to a close.

    Multimedia Release -- Submarine Minnesota (SSN 783) Successfully Completes First Sea Trials

    The Virginia-class submarine Minnesota (SSN 783) successfully completed alpha sea trials, its first round of at-sea tests and evaluations, today. Minnesota is being built at HII's Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division.

     

    NEWPORT NEWS, Va., May 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced that the newest Virginia-class submarine, Minnesota (SSN 783), successfully completed alpha sea trials today. Alpha trials are the boat's first round of at-sea tests and evaluations. Minnesota is being built at HII's Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division.

    Il pourrait être livrer 11 mois plus tôt que prévu (ce n'est pas le premier des Virginia dans ce cas la)

    All systems, components and compartments were tested during the trials. The submarine submerged for the first time and operated at high speeds on the surface and under water. Minnesota will undergo two more rounds of sea trials, including one with the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey, before delivery later this month. Minnesota is anticipated to deliver approximately 11 months ahead of its contracted delivery date.

    Cérémonie de "commission" du LPD-23 Anchorage avant ces essais de validation/accéptation prévus en juillet

    Navy to Commission Amphibious Transport Dock Ship Anchorage  

    From U.S. Department of Defense  

    WASHINGTON - The Navy will commission amphibious transport dock ship, Anchorage, in her namesake city of Anchorage, Alaska, May 4, at 10 a.m. (AKDT), during a ceremony at the Port of Anchorage.

    Anchorage is named in honor of the largest city in Alaska.

    Adm. Cecil Haney, commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, will deliver the ceremony's keynote address. Annette Conway, wife of retired Gen. James T. Conway, the 34th commandant of the Marine Corps, is serving as the ship's sponsor. In a time-honored Navy tradition, she will give the order to "man our ship and bring her to life!"

    "Like the previous USS Anchorage, I am confident LPD 23 and her crew will represent the United States with distinction around the world for many decades to come," said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus. "As we execute our nation's defense strategy and our Marine Corps returns to its traditional maritime roots, the improved warfighting capability Anchorage brings to the fleet will be critical."

    The first USS Anchorage (LSD 36) was commissioned in 1969, earning the Meritorious Unit Commendation and six battle stars for Vietnam service, receiving the Navy Unit Citation and the Southwest Asia Service Medal (2 stars) for Operation Desert Storm, and supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. When decommissioned in 2003, the first USS Anchorage was the most decorated dock landing ship on the West Coast.

    Designated LPD 23, Anchorage is the seventh amphibious transport dock ship in the San Antonio class. As an element of future expeditionary strike groups, the ship will support Marine Corps ship-to-shore mobility, which consists of the landing craft air cushion vehicle, amphibious assault vehicles and the Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. Anchorage will provide improved warfighting capabilities, including an advanced command-and-control suite, increased lift-capability in vehicle and cargo-carrying capacity and advanced ship-survivability features. The ship is capable of embarking a landing force of up to 800 Marines.

    Cmdr. Joel G. Stewart is the commanding officerand will lead a crew of more than 360 officers and enlisted Navy and Marine Corps personnel. The 24,900-ton Anchoragewas built by Huntington Ingalls Industries - Avondale Shipyard in Louisiana. The ship is 684 feet in length, has an overall beam of 105 feet, and a navigational draft of 23 feet. Four turbo-charged diesels power the ship to sustained speeds in excess of 22 knots.

    How is Flight II different than LPD 17?

    Flight II reduces troop capacity from 800 to 500. This reduction leads to the elimination or modification to associated spaces such as habitability, work spaces, stores, etc.

    Medical facilities such as wards and operating rooms are reduced by 50 percent.

    The helicopter hangar and associated aviation workspaces and storage are eliminated.

    The MK 46 30mm gun weapon system is replaced with a MK 38 Mod 2 remote controlled 25mm chain gun providing offensive and defensive ability.

    RCS features on masts, bulwarks and boat stations are eliminated topside and internal CPS zones are reduced from five to one.

    The mission of the ship to serve as an amphibious command and control platform is eliminated and associated equipment is deleted.

    The AN/SPS-48E air search radar is replaced with a TRS-3D which is currently outfitted on the National Security Cutter providing a more suitable sensor for its mission.

    Cooperative engagement is eliminated.

  10. Les marines semblent satisfait de leurs drone log K-MAX

    U.S. Marines successfully employ drone copters in Afghan war

    The K-MAX unmanned drone helicopter is proving invaluable to U.S. Marines in Afghanistan, according to a report from McClatchy News on Tuesday.

    During the past 16 months, two K-MAX helicopters that were sent to Afghanistan as an experiment have delivered 3.2 millions of pounds of cargo and flown more than 1,000 missions, the agency reported from the volatile Afghan province of Helmand.

    That capability has enabled Marine Corps commanders to reduce the number of supply convoys on the province’s bomb-infested roads; cut the workload, and the risk, for helicopter and Osprey crews; saved money; and provided real-world proof that remotely piloted drone aircraft are useful for much more than just surveillance and missile strikes.

    Peter Singer, the director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution, told McClatchy that the K-MAX is the face of the future for unmanned flight.

    “Everyone has framed discussion of drones as being about surveillance, and that’s one of the models, but they won’t be only that,” said Mr. Singer, author of “Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century.”

    The aircraft is “incredibly reliable and cost-effective,” said Marine Maj. Daniel Lindblom, who oversees the various unmanned-aircraft programs the Corps runs in Afghanistan. They require only about 1.3 man-hours of maintenance for every hour of flight, and they cost just more than $1,300 an hour to operate, he said.

    That compares with more than $11,000 and nearly 23 man-hours of maintenance for each hour of flight for the Marines’ manned workhorse heavy-lift helicopter, the Chinook CH-53E, according to statistics supplied by the Marine Corps.

    The combat-zone test of the K-MAX was supposed to last just six months, but in March the Marine Corps extended it indefinitely, citing success in delivering cargo and keeping Marines in trucks off dangerous roads.

    Vente de BO-105 au Pakistan

    ISLAMABAD — Sources here have confirmed that Germany and Pakistan are negotiating for the transfer of 40 surplus German helicopters.

    Reports that Germany was planning to export the helicopters were traced to the April 28 issue of the German news weekly, Der Speigel. It cited an April 24 letter from German Deputy Defence Minister Thomas Kossendey to the parliamentary defense committee saying such a deal was possible despite German law banning arms sales to crisis regions.

    The helicopters in question are MBB Bo-105 light utility helicopters, which in German Army service have been used in the anti-tank role when equipped with six MBDA HOT anti-tank guided missiles.

    Peut être de future coupes=

    The Bundeswehr is threatened with further cuts, Deutschlandfunk, German public radio, reported over the weekend.

    Speaking to the Bundeswehrverband, Germany's armed forces association, already a few weeks ago, parliamentary secretary of state for defense Christian Schmidt is reported to have said only 140,000 Bundeswehr posts are financed. As the Bundeswehr has 195,000 military and civilian personnel, this means 55,000 posts are not financed, according to Deutschlandfunk

  13. La marine Norvégienne choisie Daewoo pour son futur navire log

    Norway opens negotiations with DSME for logistics support vessel

    By Richard Scott

    4/29/2013

    South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has emerged as the preferred bidder for Norway's re-competed logistics and support vessel (LSV) programme.

    Confirming the move to IHS Jane's on 25 April, the Norwegian Defence Logistics Organisation (NDLO) said that "contract negotiations have been initiated with DSME [and] other tenders are temporarily set on hold".

    Under Project 2513 Norway is seeking to procure a single LSV to provide afloat support for a Royal Norwegian Navy task group. The programme, budgeted at NOK1.32 billion (USD225 million), originally sought a multipurpose vessel able to provide an organic afloat replenishment capability, a roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) deck for vehicles, load-on/load-off (Lo-Lo) facilities, and additional utility for aviation, medical, and maintenance support.

    DSME's preferred status follows a second round of bidding for the LSV programme. Going back to December 2011, three yards – Hyundai Heavy Industries, Bergen Group, and P&S Werften – were shortlisted against the original competitive criteria, with each subsequently submitting a bid to the NDLO. However, all three tender responses came in significantly above budget, forcing the original competition to be abandoned in mid-2012.

  14. Un point sur les programmes de véhicules à roues de l'Army=

    LAND 121 Phase 3A (véhicule léger non protégé) - Mercedes G WAGEN =

    This acquisition is in addition to the previously approved LAND 121 Phase 3A which is replacing the current fleet of ADF light unprotected field vehicles and trailers. This includes the acquisition of around 2150 unprotected Mercedes Benz G-Wagon 4×4 and 6×6 vehicles and trailers to enable tactical training.

    To date around 600 vehicles and 350 trailers have been delivered to Army and Air Force with the final vehicles to be delivered by 2016.

    LAND 121 Phase 3A Lightweight and Light Capability (LLC) is acquiring a fleet of lightweight and light vehicles for tactical training. The fleet will comprise 2146 unprotected Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons, including specialist modules, and 1799 Haulmark trailers. Together with the protected light vehicles planned to be procured under LAND 121 Phase 4, the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons will replace the current fleet of Land Rovers.

    The G-Wagon fleet will comprise eight mission system variants and will be delivered to Army and Air Force units across Australia between July 2012 and June 2015. The delivery of the trailers will take place between July 2012 and mid-2016.

    LAND 121 Phase 3b (véhicule + remorque log) - Camion MAN =

    The vehicles will fill roles as diverse as transporting personnel and supplies, providing a platform for carrying and using weapon systems, delivering humanitarian assistance and aid, and where necessary evacuating casualties.

    The Defence White Paper outlines the requirement to provide around 2,700 protected and unprotected Medium and Heavy Vehicles under Project LAND 121 Phase 3B.

    The new vehicles will have enhanced performance and protection, as well as providing commonality across the fleet, ensuring improved efficiency in operator training and simplifying logistic support to land forces.

    These new trucks will have advanced safety characteristics, improved force protection, greater payload and will be networked to enable them to be more responsive on the modern battlefield.

    New capabilities for Defence will include self-loading trucks that will greatly improve the distribution of materiel.

    Defence is close to finalising LAND 121 Phase 3B contract negotiations for the provision of these vehicles, modules and trailers.

    Subject to satisfactory completion of all final issues and formal Government approval processes, Defence will acquire up to 2,700 protected and unprotected trucks from Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles Australia and trailers from Haulmark Trailers Australia.

    The Government is scheduled to formally consider in the middle of this year Defence’s proposal for the acquisition of the vehicles and trailers.

    It is expected that the work to be undertaken in Australia by the successful vehicle and trailer contractors and their network of Australian sub-contractors will include manufacture of the trailers, installation of locally-supplied modules and parts, vehicle integration and testing.

    The maintenance and through-life support for the vehicles is also expected to be undertaken in Australia.

    LAND 121 Phase 3B will acquire up to 2,695 medium and heavy vehicles along with associated modules and approximately 2,200 trailers. The Phase 3B fleet will include both protected vehicles (for operational deployment and tactical training) and unprotected vehicles (primarily for tactical training). This acquisition represents the entire protected and deployable medium and heavy requirement, and more than half of the unprotected tactical training requirement. These vehicles will enhance performance and protection, and the Army’s training and logistic support capability, by providing uniformity throughout the fleet. These vehicles will replace the current fleet of Unimog, Mack and S-Liner trucks.

    LAND 121 PHase 4 = Hawkei

    Under LAND 121 Phase 4 the Australian Defence is planning to buy up to 1,300 protected and unprotected light vehicles, beginning 2015, gradually replacing the Army’s existing Land Rover vehicle fleet.

    The Protected Mobility Vehicle (PMV) - Light capability, Phase 4, will provide a fleet of around 1300 PMVs and associated trailers for command, liaison, utility and reconnaissance roles. These vehicles will provide a protected replacement for around one third of the Land Rover fleet, affording increased force protection in operational environments.

  15. A la place de modifier les SH en service, l'Australie va acheter 12 SH Growler neuf =

    CANBERRA --- Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Minister for Defence Stephen Smith today announced the steps the Government has taken to strengthen Australia’s air combat capability.

    The 2013 Defence White Paper highlights the strategic importance of a potent and flexible air combat capability to control Australia’s air approaches and support operations in the land, sea and air environments.

    Emerging advanced air combat and air defence capabilities within the region, together with the proliferation of modern electronic warfare systems, will make the air combat tasks of controlling the air, conducting strike and supporting land and naval forces increasingly challenging.

    Australia’s air combat capability is a vital part of our national security framework and the Government will not allow a gap in our air combat capability to occur.

    As a prudent measure to assure Australia’s air combat capability through the transition period to the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), the Government has decided to retain the current 24 F/A-18F Super Hornets (one operational squadron) in their current air combat and strike capability configuration.

    The Government has also decided to acquire 12 new-build EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft instead of converting 12 of Australia’s existing F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft into the Growler configuration. 12 Growler aircraft will enhance significantly the ADF’s electronic warfare capability and, together with the JSF and the Super Hornet, will form a formidable air combat force capable of controlling both the air and electronic environments.

    A decision on replacing the Super Hornets with additional JSF aircraft will be made closer to the withdrawal of the Super Hornets, which is not expected until around 2030.

    The 2009 Defence White Paper outlined the Government’s commitment to acquire JSF and announced approval for the purchase of the first 14 JSF aircraft at a cost of around $3.2 billion. Of these, Australia is contractually committed to two, which will be delivered in the course of 2014 to 2015 in the United States for testing and training purposes.

    Due to challenges and delays within the JSF Program, the United States restructured the JSF Program last year, deferring the acquisition of 179 aircraft and providing US$15 billion less in funding over the next five years. Australia aligned itself to this schedule in the 2012-13 Budget. While the US remains committed to the JSF, procurement has been slowed to complete more testing and make developmental changes before the purchase of aircraft in significant quantities.

    The Government remains committed to acquiring the fifth-generation JSF aircraft, with three operational squadrons planned to enter service beginning around 2020 to replace the F/A-18A/B Hornet aircraft.

    Australia’s Super Hornet aircraft, the delivery of the Growler electronic attack aircraft and the supporting KC-30A air-to-air refuelling aircraft will ensure the continued potency of Australia’s air combat system in projecting decisive air power in the defence of Australia and its interests.

  16. Plus un décalage des programmes que des difficultés techniques, on annonce pas un retard d'un an subitement...

    Pas gros, la réalité, bon je ne peux pas trop m'étaler sur le sujet, mais beaucoup des travaux sont arrétés sur le Suffren (cde de sous-traitance, arrêt des travaux/commandes en cours, renvoi des personnels non DCNS.................)

    Ma société est tout les jours sur le chantier, ont subit tout ca............

    Plusieurs causes d'aprés les infos d'ici et la =

    - pb technique et nombreuses Non conformité
