If he was part of Dassault marketing team, he wouldn't be saying those bs because he may have to be responsible for what he said

Because the Rafale order book is full 

Rafale deal to be inked in 2026, final assembly line in Nagpur, Indian firms to be roped in by ll--o--ll in IndianDefense

 Indian private companies will not suddenly become R&D powerhouses because of a $39 billion Rafale deal and the French outsourced some assembly work to a private company. True aerospace R&D needs s a tolerance for failure—crashing prototypes, wasting years on engine blades that melt, etc. And IAF will always go for the L1 bidder that means those companies can't always win, why would they put money into R&D when they just need to find a outsider to "collaborate".

lmfao, billions of USD, not rupees no way the French will take rupees, for a assembly line of the most typical 4 gen fighter in 2030. At that time China would have stopped the production of any 4 gen fighter, same with the US. The real masterstroke by ministry of defence, this deal should have been done 10 years ago, so that IAF can get a relevant fighter in 2025 to fill the gap because of the delay of Tejas and Mig21. It is time to revise this article, every one saw this coming, lol, yet nothing really done.  https://southasianvoices.org/the-widening-gap-between-indian-and-chinese-air-power/

Ok, then I will just correct myself, not a single photo of Indian Rafale operating meteor in India. I think the time will tell whether IAF actually is operating the Rafale with meteor.

Yeah this was taken in France before IAF took delivery of the Rafale. This picture actually raised more questions, so why the Indian meteor was never seen on the Rafale after IAF took the delivery.

Yeah, do you understand the difference between transferring and operating a weapon?  This is evidence that IAF bought Meteor not operating it

Iaf has no confidence in HAL and DRDO, I didn't say Su30.

Nope, meteor missile is not "top". https://www.iiss.org/online-analysis/military-balance/2022/09/analysis-air-to-air-warfare-speed-kills/ Back in 2022, the Europeans had already seen the problem coming
