Better.No money, no war.

$200m/plane is literally looting the IAF.
First they are asking for 11 Billion USD while we are paying only 7 so lets wait for final figures. Secondly deal will include 50% offset too( they have to invest 50% of money in India itself) and not to forget weapons and life cycle cost included( for what years is remain to be seen). Alao sir, even new MKIs are costing use 100 million USD/unit without weapons and life cycle cost( which is massive).$11 billion for 36 jets is still very expensive no matter whatever spares, weapons package they include. Even though the French say they are selling at the same price as French Air Force got them for , $200m/plane is literally looting the IAF.
India should seriously stop acting as a cash cow for foreign defence firms and focus on it's own indigenous defence industry.
New Recruit
They have agreed to 50% offset not 30%( which was earlier figure). This is first time India is getting 50% offset for a deal though.My source's say its almost locked on 65,000 crore which 9.6 billion $ good
And yes this was right french was quoting 80,000 crore figure which 11 billion $ with 30% Off set
Point to be noted here is about off-set we get
So initially
If the deal is locked on 9.6 billion $ with 30% offset the actual price we pay is around 6.72 billion $ excluding offset amount with weapons package and spares
Here just in TOI is reporting same

Yeah But still On Negotiation stage here India want More Add On of what i heard in Last 24 hrsThey have agreed to 50% offset not 30%( which was earlier figure). This is first time India is getting 50% offset for a deal though.
Egypt paid 5.9 billion for 24 jets while Qatar paid 7.2 billions for 24 jets... i think all packages from weapons to maintenance were included . So why are the french asking for 11 billlons !!!! is because there's a 50% offset which has to be invested in india
200 mil a plane included with weapons and maintenance.. we're buying mki's less than 100 million but the life cycle and weapons of it would cost more than 200 million and that too with a poor availability rate... you want a diamond but want to pay only the cost of gold???
The Qataris paid 7 billions for 24 jets we're buying 36, 12 jets more than of Qatar which means the price would be somewhere b/t 7-9 billion and french has to invest 50% of the amount in india.. so they're asking 2 billions more... that's perfectly understandable in my view
How is that acceptable? So we just pay a premium to France, so that we get 50% offset as investment, in the projects which France decides to invest? Or we can just not pay them any premium, not just for the offset clause, and instead we invest the left over money ourselves?
Waste?No less than 200 million $ per plane this is really a huge waste of money!!!.
