Yes Indian AFs are insistent on ToT with every purchase to help our fledgling defense industry and ensure availability during war.
One advantage of buying in large quantity is that it gives leverage.
Bengal used to be the most developed part of India.
Our national anthem is in Bengali.
Commies and sickulars have turned it into a sh!thole nowadays.
What a waste!
I read MKI plant will keep churning out MKIs until FGFA is ready for induction at which point it will be converted to FGFA manufacturing plant.
This is to ensure that the expertise gained by MKI ToT foes not atrophy during the lag period between end of MKI manufacture and induction of FGFA.

Yes by all means we should conjecture about an alleged rape victim's story on an online forum instead of behaving like decent humans.
Some of the posts show exactly what is wrong with India.
Land- Sea- Land route from India to Central Asia is is cheaper and faster than Land- Land- Land route from Chinese heartland (where their production is situated) .
You don't know what you are talking about.

Can anyone with knowledge do a comparative analysis of Typhoon deal that Saudi got with proposed Indian deal for Rafale.
@Dillinger @sandy_3126 @Oscar @Bang Galore @sancho @Capt.Popeye
$ 4.43 billion for 72 Typhoons works to around $61 million per plane.
On the other hand, India is expected to cough up around $120-150 million per plane for Rafale with the corollary that half of that i.e $ 60-75 million will be spent in India as offset and the rest is premium for ToT.
Even...
How much is this contract worth ?
IIRC the last one was worth 300 million dollars to develop avionics for Pak-Fa.
Honestly speaking we can only contribute in Avionics and composites of FGFA.
In other areas Russia is ahead of us.
I support Iran and Israel.
How can India support Palestine when all they have done is needle us on Kashmir repeatedly ?
I would like to ask this question to Indians who support Palestine.
On the other hand, both Iran and Israel are our friends.
Well I disagree.If India will not take harassed Hindus,Sikhs,Jains, Buddhists then who will ?
India is the birthplace of these religions.
Many countries provide asylum to harassed minorities e.g US,Uk to Ahmadis from Pakistan.
Why this mirchi when someone suggests India help some poor folks ?
You are confusing geo-strategics with geo-politics.
Regarding India's geo strategic importance I already gave my opinion.
The reason we hear hullaboo about Pakistan's geostrategic importance it cause it is up for sale.
Land route from ME to China will always be irrelevent because no one lives...
US-Its isolation from rest of the world is its greatest strength and biggest weakness.
India- Straddling the oil lanes and unchallenged power in an entire ocean once it gets its act together.
Protected by Himalayas in North, Jungles in East and Pakistan in West it can easily project its energies...
Is correct.
However I disagree with your assertion that Rafale will bring absolutely nothing to Indian Aerospace Industry.
Even knowing "how" without "why" will help us to bring our aerospace industry upto par. as it is still in a nascent stage.At the very minimum it will provide us with...
