1) The main sticking point with the Rafale is the access to the source codes or mission computer or whatever name it goes by. Dassault and MBDA will not relent on that, because that will stop the money flow into their coffers. Indian munitions (Rudram, Astra Mk2, SFDR, BrahMos-NG etc) will obviously...

Rakesh

1) Air HQ definitely wants more Rafales, especially after its performance during Op Sindoor. But any large scale purchase (i.e. 114) of the Rafale is risky politically, due to the scandal drummed up by the opposition in the first Rafale deal of 36 aircraft. And without HAL's involvement (reportedly ...

Shiv and other reporters make statements like this for TRPs. They need viewers to watch and then they only answer their own question. Later in the video, he does state that France will keep its crown jewels (on the Rafale) to itself. I am sure you saw the promotion of NDTV throughout the video.
