Yup, except F-35 is a partner project with a vast amount of countries mainly NATO, or have signed contracts with US which allows them to use American sub-systems (Which India declined to sign). Not to mention part manufacturing for the F-35 is split between different countries. Also F-35 is...
If the country of Origin is buying the aircraft they don't need the added expense since the aircraft is tailored to their need. Just like how the article compares US F35 price which would be less since the country of origin is US. Now in case of India you have to add the cost of Infrastructure...
People do realize that the Rafale package includes weapons, spares, training, and other infrastructural support and not just the cost of aircraft.

So when is Mr. Sharif planning on implementing the pre conditional steps to referendum because it seems the other side doesn't want to follow the UN resolution for referendum.
Thing is in our politics it would be a disaster for either side to use such language considering both side like to portray themselves to be family or societally oriented. I guess it is just a difference in view for Ph. and IN.
This requirement need to checked and cross checked with other nation requirements. I have been hearing of these for past many years. Rather than picking and providing the basic necessities we are stalling for personal gains by upper brass or govt officials, and in the end our army men have...
The thing is that racism is now a carrot on a stick in American politics just as caste and religion is in India. You just need to play to the tune and thousands would support you. That being said neither sides are rightious they both use race to further their goals.
