Putin insists technology transfer with the helicopter warship purchase from France - F24 100611

Russia's purchase from France of Mistral warships, which can carry 16 helicopters and a 750-strong landing force, dominated the talks and the media coverage.
Moscow is insisting on the transfer of technology, and after having bought the first French ship, would like to build the rest on Russian soil.
Paris has refused this condition, and has stipulated that construction takes place in France.
"The world is going through a difficult time and we have to stand together to remain competitive," Putin said while standing alongside Fillon at the opening of a Franco-Russian cooperation exhibition in Paris's Grand Palais on Friday.
"In scientific and technological areas, we must unite our efforts," he said before heading to the Elysee palace for talks and lunch with Sarkozy.
Russian Industry Minister Viktor Khristenko reiterated the same point in less diplomatic language, saying, "For us, the most important thing is to buy technology. That is the future".
Before leaving for Paris, Putin had said that the signature of the contract would depend on France accepting to transfer technology to Russia.
