Re: 2021 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
I have a thought on the news of some IM vote going to BJP in WB. The more RG makes statements like NM is like Saddam/Gaddafi and autocracy etc. - the more IM will be inclined towards BJP. The majority is watching and IM will not want to be on the wrong side with such asinine comparisons. They know t...

F21 or any F* is dead after this new clean sheet design news. Only more Rafale makes sense and focus on MK1A/MK2/TEDBF/MCA/ORCA/LIFT/NLCA/Ityadi.
IMO Rafale is not being ordered due to lack of money - nothing else.
