So UAE & Qatar are also compromised idiots?

YES,, absolutely

What don't you understand

They get sold gimped weapons for billions so the weapons can't harm Israel

The west is a racist place, the French, the British, Germans etc are scum and should never be trusted

So buying weapons from these scum bags is the most retarded thing possible unless you can get full weapons loads and support with no strings and even then, NOW is the time to invest in Turkey, Pakistan and work with China and start your own programmes somewhere can protect the wider region and Muslim world

Of course, please.

the answer is yes.

dont act like french dont play dirty games when it comes to arms sales LOL.

Do you forget the greek tank evaluations where the french sent jammers to jam the GPS signals for Abrams and Challengers, so as to give the Leclerc an advantage?

Or the Karachi Affair?

or angolagate?

or the Lafayette scandal?

Ask them why they purchased it twice....

Strategically aligned nations: France, Greece, Egypt, UAE and India.

Notice in G7 meeting in Paris I see Egypt, UAE and perhaps india too as participants for sideline meetings regarding middleeast peace. Even though Pakistan is a lead mediator but France prefers its own group of nations which are strategically aligned to it. These subtle items in geopolitics are often not discussed but people who have keen interest can connect the dots. It was just one small example that why this group would prefer even a substandard military product from France over a far better product from China Or any other nation. Answer is Geopolitics.

Actually French are selling weapons for over 4 centuries with same tactics. There are dozens of events which I remember on my finger tips from several books.

I will give few examples, Three centuries earlier French used to trade arms into India. They used to sell arms to Rajas and nawabs (usually in times of Maratha empire).. The same team then used to go to neighboring / rival Raja and tell them that your neighbor got this, so you must bough this one, more advance version... This continued over the globe for centuries.

Then in 20th century, they created wars, frictions and conflicts to grow their arms industry. If one sees the map of french origin weapons then can see the pattern, how mirage 3s, mirage5s, F1s and other french equipment is sold to rival parties. Often in neighborhoods.

I remember French official statement very vividly when they were pitching Scorpene submarines to India. I laughed and was amazed how they are doing that for centuries literally. The official said that these scorpene submarines are more advance than Pakistan's Agosta submarines. Same tactic over and over again. Also, The bribes in Agosta project are all proven. Otherwise we had option to choose from German and perhaps few other european subs too. The bribes in Rafale sales to india etc. Basically Bribery is one key element of french military equipment sales where other tactics like creating conflicts don't work.

There's no comparison in dirty or actually evil games that French has played for its arms sales.
