Told Qatar, do not let Pak technicians work on Rafael
France has also asked Qatar, which bought its special fighter aircraft Rafale, to not allow technicians of Pakistan origin to work on the aircraft. This was said because they can leak technical information related to this fighter aircraft to Islamabad. Rafale is now India’s front liner fighter jet. Pakistan had shared important defense data with China in the past.
Imran requested France
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan recently requested France to upgrade the Mirage and Agosta Submarine. At the same time, Imran had also criticized the defense of French President Emmanuel Macron’s right to make fun of religion. Not only this, France is allowing its citizens seeking asylum from Pakistan only after very rigorous investigation.
Pakistan has 150 Mirage, will affect Air Force

A similar request to upgrade the French-Italian air safety system has also been rejected by France.
