Lets learn to accept some ground reality that china is closer to russia than India
1. India doesnt need another akula which requires us to invest 1 billion$.
We need to copy akula and make our own SSN with whatever limited capability we have!
Lets ask France to help in exchange for Areva...
French have upped the price of Rafale to 250 mill$/unit price which probably includes 10 yrs of spares with limited munitions minus Meteor missile package
IAF will be bankrupt after this deal---Indian govt should declare Pak-FA and Rafale as last 2 fighter jet sales
From now on wards, IAF...
Good riddance from this project---Russian were shoving their old engine with new name which could need replacement every few 100's hours.
Time is ripe for India/HAL/DRDO to tie up with Ukraine and develop 100+ seater military jet!
