hmm... people wanted transparency in defense purchase, this is probably most transparent we can get. Other purchases made using govt to govt negotiation are much faster(also has geopolitical consideration) but much less transparent. We bought quite a bit of hardware from USA using that route in last 10 years.this is on a whole another level of past dealings between France and India.
you go from 126 jets to 36 jets, from this number to that number, to this rumor to that rumor.
I don't think it should take 4 odd years to sign a deal.
in the meantime while this saga is going on France has already signed deals with Egypt and Qatar.

Thats because unlike egypt , india is asking for transfer of technology and certain percentage of offset in the deal . Egypt's deal had none of those . Hence indian deal is much more complicated than the egyptian one .I didn't know it was that hard to buy planes.
I don't understand, how Egypt bought plane that easily and India still negotiating....
chinese can afford 240+ of them but that doesnt mean french will sell them atm west wont give tech to china
That won't make much difference...If you look at Rafale deals with Egypt, Qatar, UAE, India..more or less price is similar i.e 200-250 million/unit.The 250 figure that include services and weapons they can cut the services to 10 years also they can cut some the weapons that they don't need or get a lesser number.
French have already agreed to most of Indian terms like 50% offset( they will have to invest 50% of deal money in India itself). But yeah India will have to compromise on few terms too like in this guarantee money case.I think India will get Rafales eventually but on French terms.
And you really believe chinese don't know how to write a good software for their products!!!!.
See the think that make me believe the chinese able to do so is that they have big R&D fund with big number of engineers of all kind!!!.
See I'm not chinese but I can read and observe and I don't like to deceive my self.
