Ironically, Airbus civilian division is more profitable than the military one.

Always. Their military wing was always less profitable than civilian one. I don't know the latest numbers, but military side usually makes only up to 15% of total sales.

To translate this from Airbus marketing to English: "Hey, Dassault. We are still pondering options to scrap FCAS and look for other partners, so you better give us some more shares of our common development and production."
And I say this as a German usually criticising the exact same bullshit tactics from Dassault...
