I cannot make sense of your replies. If it's all about photos, this thread can be filled with a tonne.
Most middle powers and upper middle income economies have at least a small degree of civil/lower tier military aircraft, automotive and military vehicle manufacturing, even New Zealand would be called an R&D hub that way. You are displaying same for Spain. What is the position of Spain with respect to UK, Germany or France since it's just assembling their helicopters?
It's just being reflected as a lower tier European power what I told it to be. Once again, you won't have a search such a news even in a non-Spanish newspaper and it would be common if Spain actually a geopolitical force.
Sorry my friend you are avoiding the facts, Indra designs parts of the systems it provides, ITP also designs and built parts for the EJ-200 in fact the thrust vector system was designed in Spain, you do not say anything the fact Spain builds aircraft carriers in fact it builds them for Austraila.
The pictures I posted some true need a title.
For engesa, Montana, Lanix, Invap and so on but you are simple trying to imply Spain is not a great power, In Europe they work on collaboration, the 6th generation fighter or the IRIS-T or Meteor have parts designed and built in Spain, same is Airbus Spain, you want to minimize that claiming Spain only assemble but that is not the case.
In Europe cooparation is to reduce costs.
tell me why Eurofighter has built more aircraft than Dassault Rafale?
Dassualt is highly dependant in exports, Eurofighter built more aircraft.
Colaboration means you get cheaper price for more products.
Airbus is the whole concept tell me if Spain builds the wing for Eurofighter, if it builds 400 wings is enough to make it a success, they only build some parts but the budget is smaller .
Same is FRISA from Mexico, they built the engine cases yes the engines are built by Pratt and Whitney or Rolls Royce, but the engines cases they build are for many types of jet engines, they do not get the name but they get the money.
And same is Embraer they do not need to build the whole jet just manage the program sucess in cooperation is better than have a higher content but at higher price and lower numbers
