On the surface it’s about submarines in reality the AUKUS arrangement is much more than submarines and submarine technology there’s a lot more in it than that
On the flip side the barracuda would be a good project for india and possibly Canada both countries are currently looking for new submarines and with India you could recoup that 12 sub deal and expand on it
France has good ties with Canada so another 4 could be ordered n theory totalling 16 units
To be honest France has a good conventional submarine in the scorpene class if they adapted that for AIP I think there could be some serious buyers and it would rival Germany too
