Low cost alternatives to other weapon systems are going to be the bread and butter for India's rising defense industry. I also like India's EM bomb, because it fries all electronics in a 20 mile radius. Of course, other countries have followed suit. But still the first to market gets an advantage.

Not yet. But Hollande is the chief guest for the Republic Day parade, just like Obama was last year. And French troops will be participating in the parade, which showcases the strength of our relationship. Rafale deal is as good as done.
