India to buy 60-63 Rafales jets off the shelf from France; MMRCA deal off:

. .
I wonder what stopped modi from stating that during his press conference....
he is Gujju, who knows he just wanted to sweeten the deal with 18 more aircraft to over look minor hiccups.

Modi did say that the French defence companies have AFFIRMED the MAKE IN INDIA programme

That says a lot ; defence companies mean Dassault and Friends
 
. .
IT is a question of trust ie political trust

Now France cannot say that India is NOT committed to this deal

If in such high level visits ; you cannot achieve success then it PUTS
a BIG QUESTION MARK on your committment

I absolutely understand what you say ...

But the decisions such as this can't be just left at mercy of ethics ....

I know now we have put onus on dassault ...

But you see Dassault has no direct obligation to political trust between India and France ...

We should have negotiated and finalized the whole deal ...using same political good will rather than leave it for another date .

You know we were in driver seat ...and now our practical bargaining power is reduced .

Dassault knows that we have no choice but to purchase remaining jets ....

it leaves us little room for any negotiations...

( this is what i feel )
 
.
That's the whole point ...by agreeing to buy 36 rafale we have released pressure from dassault. Now Dassault will drive hard bargain ...because we have already committed to them .

what was the need to get so desperate ?

we should have just finalized the damn whole MMRCA deal !!!

Very true, that's why it would be pretty embarrassing if the government took this commitment just for the photo opp now, while the negotiations on the actual deal goes on. So either they cleared the pending issues with Dassault and didn't announced it till the contract is fixed, or they created a whole new mess as said above. Let's see what details will follow to see where we actually stand now.

This will help to clear the doubts. Please read the tweets carefully before making any assumptions/speculations regarding original MMRCA contract and the price and configuration for current 36 Rafales.
