Don't want Indian Vaccines ?
Simply go to GAVI and say No , I'm sure they'll find plenty of other countries willing to take them .
Hell I'm surprised Pakistan even had to get involved with GAVI considering just how many vaccines China is producing and how many they're donating I thought their...
Hmm gotta make sure the replacement for the Mig is an indigenous plane then.... Oh wait it already is
What about the Cheetahs and Cheetaks.. Oh wait they're being replaced by an Indian item as well
Let me see what about the Bren guns and INSAS... Both of them are going to replaced by Indian...
The needs are being met.... The wants are not
What a useless premise... If we just go by what the Armed Forces would like to have the budget would balloon up in no time.
You ask a Admiral how many carriers he wants and he'll say 5, You ask a General how many more tanks he'd like and he'll say...
We don't have a single defense partner and we don't intend to
As of today we're inducting Indian, Russian and French Jets
Building Turkish, Indian, French and Russian Naval designs
Buying American, Israeli and Indian drone, surveillance systems
Using Indian, Russian and American weapon...
I don't think so... The initial order was of 8 planes
The follow up as included in the original contract was of 4 planes (which are being delivered rn)

And then a couple of years back India signed another deal for 6 more planes, These ones after COMCASA...

And who pray told you that we'll be using "standard " strike fit for maritime roles ? ..Just because the base platform is one doesn't mean each service will use the exact same variant set up with the same parameters , That's common sense ....Although maybe that's not common enough for posters...
Not really , Its standard or just below standard for this platform depending on what support infra ,specifications , supplementary packages etc are involved .
1) France: 16 unarmed MQ-9 for $1.5 billion in 2013.
2) Italy: 4 MQ-9 for $330 million in 2008.

This is exactly the opposite of inter service rivalry , This is them finally cooperating and streamlining purchases under a single umbrella , This is the first tri service aquistion and made possible by the new CDS
Initially the IAF wanted precision strike capable armed predator drones , The...
Wow such expert and in depth analysis... You should really open a think-tank .
Although you might not find anyone willing to take you seriously when you spout thoughts like "congress is pro Russia " .
