I am not resisting. I am just saying that if the Russians refuse to handover technology like they did for Su30 or even the FGFA in the early times of 2014-15-16, we should not go forward and buy the planes.
I completely agree that a deal favourable to them will be needed for ToT but we should keep in Mind that we are not interested in the planes itself but the technology only. That is, if given a chance to buy only ToT we should do it. For example, if the offer is 100 planes with full ToT for 20 billion, and the cost of development of technology in India and time scale holds up, go for it. But if the offer is for same 100 planes for 4 billion, but without key ToT, then it is not worth buying. On the other hand, if the offer is for only ToT at 10-15 billion with only a single plane for demonstration, it is still worth considering.
Simply put, the only intention should be FGFA technology rather than FGFA plane. If the plane is needed for ToT, so be it. But the plane itself is not what should be sought after. We should understand the priority.
