French is very snobbish. Date back to 1990s, we cant afford to buy Mirage2000 and instead they sell it to Taiwan. The French philosophy is that: if you don't buy my weapon, I will sell it to your enemy. A country can't rely on totally!
I agree. That is how they do business. Or as a French friend of mine puts it, "for hard cash, the French will sell you anything". There is little "relationship" care in their dealings. Unless one is buying 60 and their enemy is buying 150. Then the bigger order would win and that would be the higher priority relationship like it happened in India-Pakistan's case with respect to Rafale being at 126 orders (then scaled down to like 36 lol).
