Im not sure…some level of french participation there was, But no one really knows anymore of what…At least in French sources (of wich i have scanned shamesly little 😮 ) dont mention any co-operation between yugos with this desing, but those few sources that even mentios this projects extince mentions about some french help but werent any more spesific…The M-88 engine is also metioned in only once i guess, but there wouldnt be much competition if US wouldnt have sold the f404 (dont know, just a guessing) to this plane…. itry to dig up the statistics as well…
