HAL and Rosoboronexport joint in building sukhoi
so kind of 50-50 iinm!
but you have to know this
HAL track record is not so nice to the eye
they are very capable but there is a niggle problems there and there
if you're Dassault would you take the risk?
100 tech in building the frame, fuselage and other bodyparts, good enough for the plane to fly
engine and accesory are sold saperately

The French then have a big ass dilemma then.
If i am the guy supplying PC components, i usually assemble for my customer so that no stuff like "sorry i bent the processor pin in the motherboard, How ah?" (not covered by warranty) can happen to me as i am responsible for one to one exchange for most of the PC parts i supplied within 7 days.
So, I do feel that how the French are feeling over this especially they are not told about they have to be responsible for something that is not within their control.
BUT!!!
