homeFrance has agreed to sell a Mistral class warship to Russia, a French official said on Monday, despite concerns expressed by Georgia, the United States and other countries.
Russia wanted to buy the 21,300-tonne helicopter carrier from France to modernise hardware that was exposed as outdated during its five-day war against Georgia in 2008.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates was visiting Paris on Monday and told his French counterpart, Herve Morin, that he was concerned about the sale, a U.S. official said.
