In re: The latest controversy related to Rafale fighter jets

I don't know much about defence deals or defence related equipment.

However one thing I know is that this 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' thing is essentially a loss making excercise.

In any case, Bharatiya peopleS are generally ordinary manufacturers except in outsourcing.

Buy such equipment from abroad & send inspectors to factories to ensure that no surveillance devices are installed. 

The inspectors will enjoy such trips though they will eat at places catering to lovely BharatiyaS.

Use 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' funds to help the poorest Indians.
