No Deal? France Says it Might Never Deliver Mistral Ships to Russia

.
India would never do that which would severe ties with Russia.

Why would it sever ties with Russia? We have already issued RFIs for amphibious assault ships from France, Spain and US way before this mess started. And Mistral seemed to be the winner by some margin.

These are Russia's ships. Russia payed for them. First, France has to pay Russia 1.6 billion + compensation in order for Russia to not have the ships. Second, if India wants to buy them, Russia has to give the nod.

What France do with Russia is entirely the concern of those two nations. India is an independent buyer, and India doesn't need any nod from a third party. If France agrees to sell them at a lower price, India should grab this opportunity.

Don't want to play by the rules, then don't complain if a Russian Su-30 drops a nuke in Paris. Hey, all is fair, right? No laws needed. :p:

What Russia does with France, isn't our concern too.

'And please quote the international law which prevent Mistrals to be sold to India? '

I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure India cannot simply buy the ships from France as of the current situation. Legally, these ships are properties of Russia, not properties of France.

When they will be under russian hands in a russian port in russia,then they will be russians.

France is withholding the first ship illegally. There is no sanction on Russia. Russia is not even at war with any country.

Crazy chain of events. Who thought so much pressure will be mounted on French. But I am more than sure french will deliver once the situation cools down.

The war in Ukraine won't be over in 10 years. It won't be Holland who will deliver the ships to Russia.

This ship will not be sold but will be used by NATO members for the same purpose Russia was going too.
