Anyways this time MoD babus are not the one delaying MRFA. It's the IAF babooz who are doing it, though for all the necessary reasons tbh. They haven't issued the RFP yet.

What exactly can we offer to EU when they are already ahead in every tech - engine, sensors, materials, virtual cockpit, etc?
INR is far weaker currency to Euro, UKP.

If some African or SE Asian country wants to join AMCA program, with 1 INR = say 50-60 units of their currency, what will they offer us?

The only thing i can think a weak entity can offer is labor, manufacturing facility.
From strong currency PoV it is cheap.
From weak currency PoV it is good enough.
That's how our Indian IT industry is working with West since 1990s.

So, will EU agree to assemble GCAP or FCAS in India with some ToT?
Will India agree to assemble AMCA in Africa or SE Asia with giving them some ToT?

In both cases, a srong joint-vigilance has to be setup to prevent espionage & leaks for this entire century.

what can the bullahs from saudi offer?? tech? heck naaaaahhhh. its money obviously, but india will try to get some workshare but i am damn sure we wont get any manufacturing work.

so should we join, i think we can, it wouldnt be easy to scam a 2035 india or even a 2030 india, our global supply chain footprint should be good enough.

This drama will continue for the next 10 years as our squadrons will keep falling and our enemies growing in numbers and capabilities.

Defence procurement is an absolute farce in this country.

What is the need for all this fucking drama and a long winded process?

This is a national security issue, we should not have to go through an excruciatingly long process to get what we want.

Just decide what we want, sign a g2g deal and be done with it.

Fuck the opposition and courts, it's national security, territorial sovereignty we are talking about.

Such deals should not have to ho through a years long process..
