FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda British arms giant BAE Systems and French firm Dassault made the joint venture to develop drones, which are used in Afghanistan and Pakistan as part of the US-led so-called ‘war on terror.’
Britain and France agreed in 2010 to work together on creating a new generation of remotely-controlled aircraft, known as Male (medium altitude long endurance) drones.
The use of drones by the US and Britain in Pakistan and Afghanistan has been widely condemned by human rights organisations, and Pakistani nation and government.
Earlier this month, the Pakistani High Commissioner to Britain urged London to help stop the US “Drone Wars” that are slaughtering hundreds of the country’s innocent civilians.
“Patience is definitely reaching exhaustion levels”, said Wajid Shamsul Hasan.
“We know the damage – destroyed schools, communities, hospitals. They are civilians – children, women, families. Our losses are enormous,” he said.
Hasan urged British Prime Minister David Cameorn to convince the US that the drone attacks were counter-productive, making the Americans “the most hated people in the minds of the people in Pakistan.”
But, he did not anticipate the fact that the British premier, as well as French president Nickolas Sarkozy, themselves, are among the hardline war-mongers, who are developing the most sophisticated types of drones.
The announcement of the joint venture to develop drones was made by Cameron and Sarkozy during a press conference in Paris.
“I don’t think that there has been closer French-British cooperation at any time since the second world war, not just in Libya but also on the vital issues of Syria, Iran, Somalia and defence co-operation,” Cameron said.
Cameron said the agreement would cover not only the new command centre and drone production, but also nuclear weapons programs.
“Drones are the latest must-have weapon systems and the big military companies are desperate to be part of what is beginning to be called ‘the drones goldrush’, said Chris Cole of Drone Wars UK.
“While Cameron is keen to emphasise that only a ‘few tens of millions of Euros’ are being spent at this time, early figures from the MoD indicate that the new drone could cost us £2 billion with some estimates much higher”, he added.
“The wider legal and ethical questions about the growing use of armed drones are simply being ignored by the politicians,” said Chris Cole of Drone Wars UK.
