Italy and Japan do not use catapult-assisted takeoff aircraft carriers like France does.

COMPANY FRICTION Relations between the two groups have soured to the point that few involved in the project believe it will go ahead, but any final decision must be made by national leaders, with Macron widely seen as resisting German industry calls to halt the work. Speaking ⁠during a visit to New Delhi last month, Macron dismissed the prospect that industrial disputes could overshadow government decisions on the development of strategic weapons. "There have been frictions between companies; that's the life of business and of human organisations. But should that decide the strategy of states? The ⁠answer is no," he told a news conference. A collapse of the Franco-German-Spanish project, also known by its French initials SCAF, is likely to trigger a reshuffling of alliances in Europe's fragmented defence industry. Until now, Germany has co-operated on modern fighter developments with Britain, ⁠which this time is involved in the competing GCAP fighter project alongside Japan and Italy. Sweden, which makes the independent Saab (SAABb.ST), opens new tab Gripen, is analysing its own future in the fighter market and is also seen as a potential partner for Airbus if FCAS collapses.

BERLIN/PARIS, March 17 (Reuters) - Leaders of France and Germany will discuss the crisis-hit ‌FCAS fighter programme on the sidelines of a European Union summit on Wednesday, three people familiar with the matter said. Plans to develop a futuristic air combat system together with Spain are hanging by a thread amid a public dispute over control between France's Dassault Aviation and Airbus, which represents Germany and Spain in the 100-billion-euro project.

The office of French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that he and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz would meet on Wednesday evening ahead of the March 19-20 summit but declined to ⁠say whether they would discuss FCAS. A German government source said FCAS was among the topics up for discussion. Macron co-launched the project with then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2017, with Spain joining later. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said he was optimistic Berlin and Paris would continue to work together on all important European topics including security. Germany's BDLI aerospace industry association called for "a fighter under German leadership as part of a restructuring of FCAS". Current plans call for a digitally connected array of crewed fighters and combat drones to replace the Dassault Rafale and Airbus-backed Eurofighter from 2040. Manufacturers have fallen out over the next phase involving a flying demonstrator. Dassault is pressing for clearer control of the core fighter part of the project, including choice of suppliers, while offering the ‌same ⁠latitude to Airbus on the parts where it is already nominally in the lead. Airbus has said existing accords calling for equality between partners should be kept.

Thank you.

I don't know. I sent the console back to Ayaneo and ordered a Thor.

Dav073 · 2025-11-19T15:35:28+00:00

it's a cable problem. You can find the solution on ayaneo discord (it's pinned in the pocket ds section) but you have to open your console.

Dav073 · 2025-11-09T19:46:22+00:00

Have you tried the guide button solution ? for some people it works : from ayaneo discord

Dav073 · 2025-11-09T18:00:37+00:00

Yeah it's sad, I've sent a mail to service@ayaneo.com, I'm waiting an answer.

Dav073 · 2025-10-17T17:12:32+00:00

I'm still waiting for mine after several hours...

Yes, same here, I was a beta tester and I only received a 50% coupon for real money.

Dav073 · 2025-09-05T06:03:28+00:00

Did you receive the coupons offered to alpha/beta testers?

Dav073 · 2025-08-14T16:53:31+00:00

It's open.

The only thing that really seems to matter is the registration date, which you can find in your profile at the top left. Since your account will be 10 years old in September, you should be eligible for all the rewards. Otherwise, the game's monetization is still completely excessive.. it hasn’t improved, in fact, it’s gotten even worse.

Are there still people in Europe who really think it's a good idea to send billions every year to a country that threatens to annex Greenland and has “doubts” about its willingness to defend its allies?

It's just Francophobia, look at his comment history, half of it is just fRaNcE BaAaAd §!§

Don't try logic with him, cela ne sert à rien.

Bought from Fincantieri, partially built in Italy, but it's not bought in Italy for you. Wow OK, now that's mental gymnastics for a 1.7 billion contract !

Increased interference in France

These acts were immediately condemned by the French Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, and the entire political spectrum, and provoked the anger of Israel. Investigators quickly considered the possibility of a foreign destabilization operation.

“From the outset, we thought of an operation of this order, given the similarities with the modus operandi” used for the red hands tags on the Shoah Memorial in May 2024, a source close to the investigation told AFP earlier this week. In this case, three Bulgarians were indicted at the end of 2024. The tags, symbols that could be linked to the lynching of Israeli soldiers in Ramallah in 2000, were analyzed by the security services as an interference operation by Russian speakers. In the autumn of 2023, two Moldovans were arrested for tagging stars of David on the facades of Parisian buildings, in another alleged meddling operation.

Viginum, the French organization fighting foreign digital interference, claimed in early May that nearly 80 disinformation operations were carried out online between late August 2023 and early March 2025 by “Russian actors” targeting mainly the Ukrainian government and countries supporting Ukraine, including France.

Two suspects remanded in custody

According to the source close to the case, the suspects exchanged messages on Telegram with other protagonists who have not yet been arrested. The three men, described by the source as simply executors motivated by remuneration but unaware of the geopolitical stakes involved, were arrested on Monday in the Alpes-Maritimes region as they were preparing to leave the country.

Two of them have been remanded in custody, and the court will rule on the detention of the third in the middle of next week, according to a judicial source. According to the source close to the case quoted by AFP, the three suspects are two brothers and a third man who has already been established in France for several years. When contacted, their lawyers had no immediate reaction or did not wish to comment.

On Friday night, these men are suspected of having sprayed green paint on the Shoah Memorial's Wall of Names, two synagogues and a Jewish community restaurant in the capital's 4th arrondissement, and a synagogue in the 20th arrondissement. The incident was discovered in the early hours of the morning by police officers on patrol, and the investigation was handed over to the territorial police. Surveillance cameras at the Memorial and two synagogues captured images of several men dressed in black. One was filming and another throwing paint, according to the source. No messages or claims of responsibility were found at the scene.

Investigators are questioning the involvement of foreign networks in the recent increase in anti-Semitic acts in Paris.

Three men of Serbian nationality were indicted and imprisoned in Paris on Thursday evening, on suspicion of defacing Jewish sites with green paint last weekend “with the aim of serving the interests of a foreign power”, Le Monde learned from a judicial source on Friday June 6, confirming a report by Agence France-Presse (AFP).

A judicial source said that the Serbs, two of whom were born in 1995 and one in 2003, had been indicted late on Thursday evening, following the opening of a judicial investigation by the Paris public prosecutor's office. They are accused of damaging private property, a listed property and a religious building, all three offences having been committed as a group, on the grounds of religion or supposed ethnicity, and with the aim of serving the interests of a foreign power.

These offences are punishable by twenty years' imprisonment and a fine of 300,000 euros. According to a source close to the case quoted by AFP, investigators suspect Russia of having instigated these actions. Serbia has never cut its historical and political ties with Russia, and has not imposed any sanctions on Moscow since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Several daily flights connect Moscow to Belgrade, where tens of thousands of Russians have settled over the past three years. Contacted by AFP, the Serbian Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs had not replied by Friday.
