Who cares what Dassault's arguments are. This is about the deal and the ToT thereof . The deal is for the whole platform, not for individual parts. The point is not who is responsible for what part but whether we are able, in negotiations, to get what we think we would have. If some part of the "Rafale consortium" won't play ball, that should be a problem for the consortium, not for the buyer. If we are not able to get all the ToT we thought we would, then the deal should be seen as non-compliant & not proceeeded with. Not our place to tie the knots here.
Don't bother with the media, there are enough who have been acting as if the Rafale is the greatest gift to India. They get their say, only fair others do to. Not the business of the media to take sides.
