Dassault said its CEO never said such a thing so by default we should be sceptical of any report that the CEO said such a thing.
A company wouldn't come out and contradict a statement by its CEO unless it is egregiously false because I would imagine the CEO would have to okay the company stance that he never said such a thing!
The more I look into Indian defense, the more hilarious it gets! Especially compared to how they constantly praise themselves. LOL
The truth is this is so typical of their armed forces. They don't really have a competent defense industry at all and are completely dependent on imports but do a poor job at planning the procurement (not in manufacturing but in just buying stuff from overseas!!!)

China had Huawei, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent in the 1990s.
In 1980s, China already had J-8s, a dual engine heavy fighter. India still does not have a fully indigenous LCS, a single engine light fighter.
In 1980's, China already had DF-5, a long range ICBM with double the range of Agni-5.
I'm thinking more 1970's China.
The missile is still a Kub with a coat of paint.
Wait Akash is supposedly new system but it still doesnt have datalinks and IFF stuff?? bruh
Seems the Jaguar video got deleted here huh.
Didnt brazil already reject this system in 2023? There is a youtube video somewhere about the demo too.
I guess after the kashmir conflict they tried to pitch it again to them and it failed..?
Indian defense twitter has told me that 'combat losses dont matter' because India is rich and can just replace it. so 50% increase should be simple too.
Inflation factored into this price increase for the Boeing P-8, but almost certainly, so did corruption!
Less than a month into his second term, the illustrious leader of the United States, its 45th and 47th President, the great Donald J. Trump of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
For those who are unfamiliar: FCPA is or was legislation intended to deter American companies from engaging in bribery abroad. However, President Trump considered it detrimental:
Some Indian officials almost assuredly took notice, and hit up Boeing to get their fair share or an even bigger share: bribery is after all a routine business practice when transacting with the Indian MOD.
Now India can't afford as many MPAs thanks to President Trump's decision to retreat from combating global corruption!
Even glide bombs vastly out-range these from high altitude release, so unless you're trying to directly bomb an Indian city from low altitude without first clearing out the air defense network, these are not an issue.
Despite everything Russia has done for India militarily, last year by selling munitions to Italy and Czechia, who they knew or should've known, would divert the receivables to Ukraine.
To quell all the propaganda denigrating superior Indian weapons systems, India ought to convince these NATO countries to acquire Akash batteries instead of more American and European made junk for Ukraine . . . I mean for themselves.
With 15,000 Akash interceptors on hand, India should be able to make immediate deliveries, which would even justify premium pricing. There's no better opportunity for showcasing the awesome arms of Atmanirbhar Bharat!
