Very interesting read on a $10‑billion vanity purchase that never included sovereignty in the box.
"The fallout is pure theatre: Paris blames “pilot error,” Delhi slams the hangar doors on Dassault’s auditors, and Jakarta, having watched the wreck, quietly audits its own Rafale order before the ink dries. Each headline isn’t just a story; it’s an autopsy note on a $10‑billion vanity purchase that never included sovereignty in the box."
