France was coerced by India and not by the US. And since when do the French listen to US?
For French radars, electronic warfare suites and missiles, probably 1-2 Billion. For French Engines, perhaps even more. Could have been 10-15% what India pledged through Rafael acquisition.
India does not have the influence to prevent French weapon sales to Pakistan. The Mirage-2000 upgrade deal was $1 billion. French are not supplying engines for the JF-17. State of the art missiles are tricky to obtain.
France and US are allies at a certain level. they are also competitors and friendly rivals.
And you think Pakistanis can not integrate guided munitions in MI-35 if required?
what will guide the munitions ?? With 4 Mi-35s you are not scaring anyone
