I see, you never went through the post that completely destroyed your point of "fan boys posting their random wish lists" -- while you retaliate based off the way I called out your "writing papers" "for professors" "who prefer all CAPS" tirade etc. which was a part of the same post you claimed you never went through .....
I'm among the biggest skeptics of this so called "sale" -- yet your point is totally bonkers .. you say there is no official word ... Doesn't a "Deputy Foreign minister" count as an official word ??--

Or maybe an Indian based website quoting the same thing ... Does that counts as an "official word" now ?? ---
What I find the funniest is the attitude of "ohh Russia won't do it to us" "We won't let them" -- Guess what -- It already has! --
When you decide to diversify your suppliers from Russian to the west ... infact you go to US, someone Russia considers as a rival if not an outright adversary --- The result will simply be along the lines of ... "you reap what you sow ..."
So while this deal may never happen -- It's a clear direction of what is to follow ...
India has become a victim of its own games ... where it brings in huge orders and tries to block a mutual supplier from trying to do business with Pakistan, example being the MMRCA and the cancellation of the JFT upgrades ... or putting pressure on Russia not to sell us equipment---
The end result today is ... your MMRCA is falling apart where talks are now reserved to 1/3rd of the original strength planned for induction ... We've all seen the time limits of 1 month, 10 days etc. and it turns out-- the MMRCA deal even for the cut short deal will take alot longer then expected ... and
the French have you by the balls ... where one day they are not satisfied by HAL, and on the other day are talking about re-opening the deal for JFT upgrades ---
The same being case with the Russians, where you tried to block the supply for RD-93 ... which did not work btw as 55 JFT's are in service with RD_93's and talks for an upgraded RD-93 in 2018 if the need is felt for block III to have a new upgraded engine ... The fact that we have been given the nod to buy the J-10's with Russian AL-31's after the speculation was "we can only get J-10 if Chinese get their WS-10 operational on J-10 and the engine satisfies the credentials of PAF" and now the talks for SU-35 being revealed by the Russian officials..... This may not signify a deal .. but does signify the fact that India may have business with Russia ... but when India can go and purchase from a rival i.e USA .. then Russia also reserves the same right of not protecting Indian interests and dealing with an arch rival of India's ..
Lastly, when you talk of the monetary issues, you should remember what the current fuss about arming PAF with a heavy fighter is all about ... it's about giving an aerial arm to the PN and protecting Chinese investment in CPEC ... So it is not merely the need of PAF, it's also a Chinese need to protect their investment ... Hence you may not see a deal just yet ... but with the way talks are progressing where former officials holding high posts are agreeing with the need being created for a heavy fighter with CPEC .. you never know ...
