The News is this one of the toughest Negotiation any Country had in signing a Defence deal without giving an Inch to the seller (France). France Media and Govt conceded that Modi and his team had really made miserable to the "Negotiators" who tried various Strategies and tactics to have a Win-Win, yet India came out emphatically in the strong Armed Negotiation tactics by simulating a mock talk with Griphen, which pushed panic button on the France "Dassault". This could be the precedence for any-forth coming Defence deal, wherein the Middlemen/Consultant, Kickbacks and Scams are totally eliminated. Some of the Highlights of the deal... follows
- The deal is estimated to be worth 58,000 crores (Includes Weapon Package
Rafael Mega Deal
