No, as I've said, Gripen is the only one they can afford, the other bidders are wasting their time/money. But if a country isn't actually prepared to buy a jet, then how they rate it is irrelevant.Your line of argument is such that if the Swiss choose Gripen instead of F-35 or Rafale, then Gripen is superior to the other two. Common sense's gone out for a spin?
There are no excuses for Dassault. It's all relevant reasons.
The F-35 is available to India. All we need to do is ask for it.
Reasons that just keep leading to the F-35 being selected. Lockheed and BAE don't seem to need such reasons. The Rafale can't even match the Typhoon on sales, it's really pretty average even as a non-5th gen aircraft, despite the best attempts of fanboys.
If it was available, they'd have put in a bid.
