The thing is in International Diplomacy many things are discussed under the table and does not come out. In fact many assurances are given or at least intentions are conveyed and then things move forward.
Actually this is what I am saying... Indian diplomats must have played very cleverly but the way things are moving forward time is not far when all countries including Pakistan and India has to take a side..
I never said India will surrender its sovereignty but it has to take a side. you think US and Europe are fools they are being buddy to India. They are doing this for sake of money plus to bring India on their side.
The worsening situation in Syria and exchange of hot words between US and Russia now both countries probably counting their allies and trying to guess who will stand with them or against them. Russia will defiantly be needing Indian Navel base and Airbases if situation gets more tense
what i have read in various blogs and news is that they are not happy with the development and their share in it. Russia is not exposing its technology to india as per agreement..
India did invested in PAKFA but SU57 is Russian variant however India seems not very keen to invest any further and thinking to get out of the project.
China maynot be able to sell Flankers due to any agreement with the Russians but can sell its own developed avionics, radar and other equipment...
Su 47 is just a technological demonstration as yet T-50 yes it is a good option. however if we are taking about SU35 then we need it in todays date not in few years..
