Giving them money and getting anything for it is what bothers me the most.I agree their offer is good but how long will it be before they sell counter-measures to Pakistan?These guys will sell the most advanced interceptor missile in the world if they get the money for it.
I have to ask you they're aren't many buyers for the rafale any idea?
And what's to stop them from offering the rafale to the PAF?

Dude thats commerce ! thats hwo the business run - they give us something and then paksitan can get solution and then we get something to counter that and chain goes on, you cant rely on anybody here - ruskie or american or poms or frenchies they all have business to run, GHODA GHAS SE YARI NAHI KARTA!

I totally agree with you. We need to develop our indigenous product to make self-independent Lca, mca, arjun, akash, astra & abm etc.... I think in this case our Navy is good they r going for all the product indigenously like frigate DD, cov. and now IAC & nuke sub. ....

So far it's been a bag of mixed results on the path of self reliance for India. Mocking regional powers for their R&D while buying knock down kits from Russia is a testimony to the current mentality.

Yes its been mixed bag result for india till now, but the thing is india afetr 2000 is different ( just like many other developing nations) and we are seeing a big change in results, of course these are not bad result for the starters.
But lot is left to be desired, We need a chnage in system , we spend too much time to choose what we want ,
Kharian sir, we choose the best that is there but unfortunately - the process is so slow that by the time we get it - its obsolete and we are already spending time to upgrade it. No body is accountable , thatst he big problem. pakistan's sucess in coping with Indian defence - have 40% their share of good choice and 60% our share of lazyness and bad choices!
