India's Fighter Jet Negotiations Stall Over Delivery Commitments

[GURU DUTT]

well sounds hillarious but my take is that putting all the eggs in one basket is a recpie for disaster and new govt knows it

now what could happen

1. dassulat says that ok they will give first three squads of rafale fulli built in france rest might be produced in india under 100% FDI which will not be agreeable by HAL in any ciscumstances

2. dassult agrees to what HAL wants and what happnenned with scorpenes happens again

so tell me will or can indian air force agree to both the secnarios

i guess its becoming more and more clear that something else is gowing in full scale

Cancel it and buy F-35s

Okay kid, you think that that we have the money for that many 5 th gen fighters?
You think that the USA will be ready to share their technology?
Do you think that we will be able to absorb that much new tech in such a short time?
Do you think that the USA is as reliable as France ?

One thing everyone can be sure of the DEAL WILL BE SIGNED THIS YEAR.

1> French need $$$.
2> We need

Neither side can back out. Delays will most likely be cleared after budget session.
