IAF must have allotted money for 126 Rafales purchase in future.Now 36 Rafales must have freed some of that.

No bro, that's not how that works.

Whatever you say bro,all that matter is that a second aircraft OEM is about to open in India.That's more than good enough for me.

india is always on shopping spree, with an aim of becoming of self reliant, that it has failed to do so far, so this is nothing special.

Well as the saying goes,there is no need to re-invent the wheel when somebody else has already done it for you.India is a sanction free country unlike some of our neighbors plus we have got the required cash to buy literally everything that can be bought by money and because of our impeccable record and commitment to intellectual propriety and copyright terms we are in the good books of nearly all major arms manufacturing countries and hence we have got nearly unlimited access to all the state of the art weaponry of both West and Russia.When we are getting direct access to all these state of the art weaponry with an option to license produce most of them in house then it's not feasible to invest heavily in building indigenous weaponry of the same category.
