I agree with you on the facts Umair but :dont take the thread to yr heart but thats true that french did scrapped the deal on indian saying....
143511 is also right that the possibility of retro engineering by China if they were allowed to inspect the French equipment played a part. To that, you can add internal disputes the article you linked to mentions as well as remember that it was a different government back then which sadly influences such deals.Hilarious...so now a Chinese plane will be integrated with French avionics. .and China intends to export it to many countries?. ..so let me get this straight...pakistan, china and france need to approve any possible international sales because of the French parts.
I am not saying this is acceptable or proper, just that it is true.
As for taking the thread at heart, it is a matter of reciprocity. I don't insult any nation. Had I said what some are saying here, even on a non-Pakistani forum, that I believe answers would not have been very nice.
Don't do unto others …
I understand your point, MKhan but if I compare with the US that attaches control of the weapons it sells to contracts or the blockage of the Gripen sale to Argentina by the UK, I honestly don't feel, on average, all that bad with the choices ( sometimes dubious ) made by my govt.Hi,
Logic did not work in this case----the French desperately needed the Rafale deal and attached to it was the submarine deal as well---. The financial mess that france was at that time---it just made them make a bad decision.
You cannot use the logic of what the U S does or what the british do with france. The brains have different of ciruittory.
In any case, having answered the people that took time to formulate coherent polite rebuttals, I will follow your advice and let this thread go but it is always sad when people cannot stay calm enough to carry on a discussion without temperamental judgement.
Good day to all that will accept it, Tay.
