If your deal is cheaper, why buy only 36 Rafale jets: Antony
Accusing the Centre of "compromising" national security, former Defence Minister AK Antony said, "They have been repeatedly saying that the new Rafale deal is cheaper. If that was the case, why is the government buying only 36 aircraft?" He said the Army had demanded 126 aircraft in 2000, but the government reduced the number to 36 despite increasing threat perception.
