Oki i get it ur whole argument is based on rhetorics mirred with semantics of murica bad. When ur whole reading of geopolitics is perposterous than its bound to reflect in empty rhetorics nd stratagems.
See the murica bad jargons will sell high among defence nerds because Nationalist flavour is high but the realpolitiks is a different reality when compared to the ecochambers.
Like it or laothe it GOI is cooperating nd partnering with Murica more nd more nd u being apprehensive of any weapon sale of Murica to india because of some stratagem (like Murica demanding data from sensors will be deal breaker lol) won't mean anything in real world.
Instead regular MDF updation during exercise with USAF will massively help IAF with corresponding threat it faces with respect to ever-changing dynamic threat it faces from PLAAF nd PAF for example -
On Wednesday, a Pentagon official confirmed that the U.S. scrambled to provide new capabilities to Israel’s F-35Is after the Hamas attacks. What might they be?

From the article above -
"While the IAF (Isreali air force) regularly updates its own threat libraries, it does not have access to some of the more exquisite intelligence gathered by American space, aerial, and terrestrial platforms and human intelligence".
So if GOI had to function at the whims of some random defence nerd coping on murica bad then it wouldn't hv signed 10 yr defence partnership framework with same america. Read below links nd update urself to come to a rationale instead of coping on some rhetorics.
India is one of the largest exercise partners for the US.

"With their strategic cooperation straddling sectors from defence to high-tech, US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a new initiative, the ‘US-India COMPACT (Catalyzing Opportunities for Military Partnership, Accelerated Commerce & Technology) for the 21st Century’, to “drive transformative change across key pillars of cooperation”.
"The U.S. is further reviewing its policy on the release of fifth-generation fighter jets, such as the F-35, and advanced undersea systems to India—potentially deepening strategic defence ties."
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi commended India-US defence deals, highlighting their benefits for India's defence production and self-reliance. Following PM Modi's US visit, a new 10-year defence framework aims to strengthen ties. Plans include joint production initiatives, procurement of...

"This review is expected to facilitate smoother defence trade, technology sharing, and the maintenance and repair of US-provided defence systems in India, as India's status as a 'Strategic Trade Authorization-1 (STA-1)' as well as a QUAD partner further solidified its position for defence cooperation with the US.
The two countries also agreed to initiate negotiations for a 'Reciprocal Defence Procurement' (RDP) agreement, which would align their defence procurement systems and allow the reciprocal supply of defence goods and services."
So as things stands F35 is indeed coming.. nd as i said it earlier ur apprehension or coping would mean zilch to GOI nd IAF. we have competent authorities out there to take care of our interests while dealing with USA.
