So the fight between competitors turned it into handy and juicy for the rivals while costing much to the India and France. The count of 22400 pages is a sign that tells everything is on risk with respect of critical info yet a possible damage assessment would be running. If the leaked details are fake then competitors with basic info of such product would have make it public to prove the leak as fake while acknowledging themselves for to be correct of information gathered by them. Faking of leaks is highly unlikely and more chances are, it is going to be very interesting for others while on other hand, a damaging stroke for the French in Defence Industry.
To the some (troll) sources, India has played with French on dirty side for the discounts or possible push for other gadgets in minimum cost while playing the victim card of this leak that risked the security at most. To the sources, India played it only on wish & whim of new friend after many of promises to be fulfilled in this category/requirements. Though, this source doesn't carry much weight and seems unlikely and could be wild guess. The business politics especially in the weapon business, is the dirtiest one that even pushed many countries to the war for business gains & profits.
The competitors from MMRCA and more are hell bent for the money alone, and surely, International Business Mafia, especially in Weapons Market, can go to any limit for self benefits and gain in Market that it is about Power & Influence as well along with Money. IMO, French may keep in view of Israel in this subject as well that in near past, relations were sour even Natan Y said "France will have to pay the price".
French side need to check the list of competitors and rivals both yet need to asses the situation and beneficiaries of this leaks that does not give priority to the rivals of India but France in most. Indeed, India's rivals would love to have go through the details that may have cost them billions to gather and many years yet this leak made it very easy and quick even way before the first voyage but most of it seems like, is the work of business competitors of France rather rivals of India.
The leaks are true or not but it causes a situation to worry and reevaluate the whole plan even the mechanism of such machine that, if leaks are valid, the Subject become useless or IN may need long time to adopt new tactics and apply or change internal parts. The statements like, nothing critical is leaked, seems like a damage control and if it is not the case than there wouldn't be heat in offices of Navy. As I said earlier, if the leak is fake, many of competitors would attest such statement very soon and would be giving analysis of contradiction between leaks and real info they gathered but in-case of no such opposition of leaks, French and Indians need to be worrying about this.
However, all guess work and analysis could be wrong but only time will tell though not all the truth will be disclosed in such contexts so don't expect much from media.
