You are a defense analyst like several thousands out there. Each have their own opinion. There are no “feelings” to play with here.Well, you surely can believe whatever you want and as it seems, you don't know neither who I am and even lesser how much the US plays with India's feelings.
Probably you should ask anyone else outside this Indian dream.
But again, think whatever you want - I an "densed and know nothing" and India can get whatever it wants - but that won't change anything. As long as there are Russian assets in India, the F-35 is a no-go.
We like it when the world pays us attention, but we are also very pragmatic as a nation. If there is a stick behind a carrot, Indians are more than capable of seeing it for what it is — and the US understands that. The public itself will oppose a move that will beholden the nation to another “power”.
We’ve made tremendous sacrifices coming this far. Our policy makers, like yours are guided by self interest and self preservation. This is contingent on preserving our national interest. Without it, there is no chance for their long term survivability in India. We’ve denied ourselves quick wins in the past to prioritise national interest.
I think exceptions will be made if required. But it will be tough convincing India itself to get onboard the F-35 train. They are definitely trying.
