Absolutely Janon, and that is why Dassault had roposed to deliver first Rafales under a separate contract. They do understand India's rebuttal as Idia would have been more or less compelled to Rafale during negociations on MMRCA.
Dassault CEO privately said that the deal may possibly be signed...
It is a specific type of beret, a "faluche". It is traditional in french mountain troops (chasseurs alpins). Other troops wear a more traditional style. About the slope, yes it is reversed in french army as compared to uk/US/india etc. Except in marine troops . First time i see photos of indain...
The important part is
@ Guru not really for Dassault, 75% of theirbuiness is biz jets. But it would clearly impair Rafale program. I'd say that France and french ar force are more in need then DAssault.

Oh btw had the confirmation that the orders arent cut and 11/year delivery still contractual. The "build from scratch" indian Rafales i had read in press is untrue. There are differences but not to that point.
Not a lot. Contender responsability over HAL built planeswasnt in RFP. The separate contractswere a proposal from Dassault so as to fasten Rafale induction in IAF while keeping building the industrial meccano. Rebuttal is understandable. Ppl worked all summer long. Had no official confirmation...
