Dassault Company is a French aerospace company. In 1963, [[Israel]] paid $100 million to Dassault for the joint development and manufacture of twenty-five medium-range Israeli missiles, which would become known as the Jericho I. These missiles were anticipated to be capable of delivering a miniaturized nuclear warhead to targets three hundred miles away.[^1]
By 1963, the Dassault Company was involved in the joint development and manufacture of the Jericho I missile system with [[Israel]]. This missile was designed to deliver a miniaturized nuclear warhead to targets three hundred miles away.[^1]
[[Charles de Gaulle]] claimed to newsmen that he had not known of Dassault's contract with [[Israel]] until the first field test in 1967 of the Jericho I, although the French firm continued to work with Israelis on the missile program for another year.[^1]
