	France Will Supply Venezuela with Ship Weapons Systems \| www.vcrisis.com
		For political reasons, the Spanish government has decided against having Navantia manufacture the weapons systems for the ships, which will be supplied by Thales, the French electronics and defense group, for 230 million or so.
		Even though, according to information sources in the industry, Navantia had the wherewithal for it —during the 1980’s it manufactured the weapons systems for the Serviola patrol boats, preceding the vessels for Venezuela— but for political reasons it was decided not to get to the heart of the warship issue.
		But the objective, in the opinion of the same sources, could not have been the discovery of unsuspected military capabilities on the vessels, whose characteristics are overwhelmingly known by the Pentagon, but rather locating some component or other which, albeit in indirect fashion, would be of US origin.
