"With a certain level of MKIsation of Rafale jets to accommodate Indian weapons systems, French too has started to see the bigger picture which possibly could lead to the purchase of more Rafale fighter jets beyond 36 aircraft which are been negotiated presently."

Pretty sure we not gonna rely solely on Astra at the moment but certainly costs wise and too keep the indigenous BVRAAM program running. What we did with MKI will surely be done with PAKFA but unfortunately limited to Russian jets. We might not have much improvements to offer right now over what we getting in Rafales already.
