Yes, it is actually. It has been known for some time the deal was only going to be for 36 aircraft. France and India could not agree on technology transfer and manufacturing for the larger purchase. Plus the overall price was going to hammer India's defense budget for a decade.

So dear europeans before u shit in ur pants being afraid of invasion of scary vodka russians, read some history before and make some conclusions.
Russia dont need ur lands lmao. But u cant understand it mentally coz u raised with colonizer mindset for centuries and u think people
in Russia same aswell and thats why u cant never understand them.
Europe people just used to colonize things starting from colonizing north/south Аmerica Africa India Australia part of China (hong kong)
and other indian/pacific ocean areas. Half of the world was colonized by europeans with bloody wars etc.
So now u just cant believe Russia is different from u. So its deep in brains u just cant accept what powerfull /nuclear country
doesnt want to conquer things.
Theese RL internet threats never end well, there's no need to go there.
Yes, and the same is true for other countries. We still find bombs in major cities in Germany. Not sure what you're trying to prove. Both sides got wrecked. Europe built up and started cooperating, because they didn't want it to happen anymore. Russia kinda built up and then proceeded to threaten their neighbours into submission.
I'd still go for the European way.

Yeah, we can easily switch that to Karelia and the still very current anxiety in Finland that Russia is always looking to grab more. This is real. The WW2 finnish winter war theater was initiated by Russia without any reason whatsoever other than grabbing more land.

So are our pro-russian friends still posting conspiracy theories or they did actually post something usefull in those last pages?
Let me see do I want to sleep with the nation which has gauranteed my right to state my opinion without getting picked up at night by the secret police for the last 70ish years or the nation which has a history of sending armored divisions to deal with dissenters in their "client states".
Only someone truly ignorant (and unfortunately there are many of those) would ever think being in bed with Russia is a good thing for their country.
