Oh? last foreign ship for india? Does it mean they are switching to 100% domestic navy now?

It won't reveal anything useful. This F-35 has its radar reflectors in place so it's not revealing its combat radar signature.

Not only the reflectors but it also had an unarmed missile on a weapon pylon

Their Air Chief claimed

Man Air-chief's shouldnt be making these type of claims just for the PR for the sake of the government, unless he TRULY believe's this as real... which is concerning.

My first thought was that India has decided to never add to their Navy!

Nothing says "supapowa" like buying a slack dozen retired early 4th-gen fighters from a mighty air power like Greece.

This speaks to the IAF's lack of confidence in the Tejas.

Rumors suggest that following recent clashes with the PAF, the IAF is considering increasing the number of M2Ks and is willing to upgrade them to mini-Rafale standards, in addition to the proposed acquisition of 36 additional Rafales.

This feels like more "We will" disease from India. It never gets them anywhere.

M2K is crap no matter how many upgrades it gets.

India will allegedly conduct investigation on "China made drone parts"(?)

So it seems they selected Israeli options.

India has long been drooling at the feet of the Zionist entity, so this makes sense. Hindu nationalists have cited the genocide in Gaza as a positive example to use against Pakistan. Of course, the usual impotent fantasies, but it speaks to a common mentality. This deal also consolidates the shift away from Russia as an arms supplier that began under Modi's first term.

Incidentally, I wouldn't be surprised if there were "under-the-table" conditions. Indians have been caught spying for Mossad in the gulf area.

As an aside, it's actually crazy that a country of barely 10 million people is supplying tech to a country of 1.5 billion. But here we are.

There’s nothing suprising there, Israel is a high tech hub (probably the only one in the Middle East), and they supply not just India but even European, Asian and even more so Latin American(one of their largest markets) countries. So it’s not about size but intellect.
