To Mr. Pommellet,
Thank you for your comprehensive proposal submitted on behalf of Naval Group and Dassault Aviation regarding the tender for the Imperial Korean Navy's air power projection requirements. We appreciate the detailed insights and considerations provided in your accompanying letter.
After careful review, we are pleased to inform you that we accept your offer for the Charles de Gaulle Class Aircraft Carrier. We recognize the significant capabilities this vessel brings, particularly its ability to support full-sized aircraft operations through CATOBAR flight operations.
Additionally, we would like to exercise the option to purchase 55 Dassault Rafale M F3-R fighters to complement the aircraft carrier, ensuring a robust and effective air power projection capability for the Imperial Korean Navy.
Please let us know the next steps in formalizing this agreement and any further documentation required from our side.
We look forward to a successful partnership and the enhanced operational capabilities that this acquisition will bring to our naval forces.
Kindest Regards,
Yoon Kwang-ung
Minister of National Defence
Korean Empire
