And Indians are surprised by this move? In what universe did Indians think France after spending billions on development will just share the source code with Indians?
 
not going too good for India after their failure in operation Sindoor lot of countries are giving India cold shoulder and its getting humiliated for India now.

starting off with USA imposing tariff to Russia not giving discounts to India anymore to Iran forcing India to pay in Chinese yuan and now France not giving India any support despite India spending billions

even the Indians on X are question india's aukat after Pakistan is involved with the big guys USA Iran Saudi Turkey China etc.. meditating and all the Indian government could do is give Pakistan a Slur.

Operation sindoor was a flop and indians flopped Rafale 🤡

anyways they can watch dharndhur 2 for self satisfaction
 
Nobody needs to pay 114 billion too. India has options. Russia will share source code

How many fighter jets have you already bought from Russia? Did they share source code in past. This is a silly and unjust demand. Rafale is a far superior platform than Sukhois and there’s no way the French will give away their key secrets to you. Guess what you don’t have choices. So just keep paying premium for the next couple of decades.

Premium for what..and drop this fake Pak shenanigans.
 
Complete ToT for SU-57 is possible ....
I don't know why Indians are dreaming about SU 57. The jet has been barely even be made by Russia due to severe war constraints and other issues after 2022. It's barely deployable in any serious amount or size, it's production levels have barely hit double digits and half of them are test/prototypes. And there is no way Indians would be able to churn out such an advanced jet locally.

Mass delusion
 
It's a setback for sure but we can simply walk away from the deal. They can decide if 114 billion is worth it for the source code or not.
Sure!

Integrating fighter Jets into doctrine for an Air force is slightly more complicating then walking away from buying potatoes!
 

i reported this when india announced the deal to sign the 114 rafaels - @straighttalk knows this - he was crying to me hwn i posted this in the india airforce ineptness thread

he also claimed that the "flying" somosa will be sold to armenia = yet i had to break some FACTS to him, showing indian and armenian articles both stating armenia is out of that deal


rafael without the source code is a sitting duck infront of the jf-17

IF you don't get source code...you cN waste 114 billion and not get your doctrine
..or you can cut your losses and go with the vendor that meets your doctrine.if rafale still fits the bill...then sure pay 114 billion without source code
 
no real difference between Rafale and potatoes pakistan army shot few down last may with their eyes closed
Yiu forgot to add they could have blown out all 20 jets but in the split second they decided to shoot down only 6 and let the others go as they didn't want to humiliate India even more..because they knew the other 14 are not gonna shoot them back...then they decided not to show any evidence of wreckage damage etc because who cares their delullu awam like yourself will buy whatever they sell...but against Afghanistan..all of a sudden propaganda air force (PAF) has all the capability to take images and show damage

Maybe get to know what MKI and vanilla Su30 does...then you will get more educated about what India can and cannot do.

Maybe if they didn't suffer the humiliation during sindoor France would've been more willing. It's like giving a Ferrari in the hands of a rickshaw driver. India should focus more on pilot training than just buying the latest equipment.

They didn't just lose badly but also didn't cooperate with Rafale.

They probably thought their fake news would work with Rafale like it did with their low-IQ bhakts. :yk
