Rationality and logic does not need any bindings. Nor it can be caged.
What I said is logical and rational. To refute it anyone including my fellow Indians have to say truthfully what's wrong in the logic.
Russia will remain in our side as long as we keep buying weapons in good amount and don't give access to others. For them France itself is an issue. Giving USA access to Frontline weapon system procurement gives them the ability and logic to do what USA is doing to both sides. After all it's not wrong in any manner to sell Su35s when American can sell F16/F18 to India.
We can try and delay it with super sukhoi upgrade and PAKFA/FGFA purchase and committed close to $30Bn over 10years for these two programs. Will that be enough , I am not sure.. as I said earlier Russia will like to relink all these programs as strategic programs and in no manner compromising india'security risk. They will cite that 3-5 sqds of Su35 won't tilt balance in Pakistan favour as compared to 300upgraded flankers. And they will go ahead with the sale.
You used my favorite word, Logic.
I will not troll you anymore.
My take,
Modi sarkar has over played it's hand.
Russia has a legacy of pride and heritage, that they will consider before anything else.
This sukhoi deal may never happen, which is fine.
however India was russia's source of cash since many decades. Now western arm manufacturers are eating
out of that pie which is india's defense budget. Russians are getting the 2nd spoils.
Whereas top dollars are going westwards.
It's an insult to a country which was your defense partner for too long, too deep.
When George bush came , I told the indians it is now your turn to be in the middle of hug of death.
Now you will see it happen.
Modi Sarkar will burn and destroy excellent work done by Indian diplomats since decades.
I say that as a Pakistani.
