It is precisely that attitude that made Bofors loose a multi-billion dollar contract from India. It is because of getting so personally involved and using bribes and intermediaries that opposition parties have used Bofors as an example of compromising what is good for India's security over personal interests.
As for doing business in India, Bofors is not the first company to do military business with India or the last, if it doesnt know how India does business, it is Bofors problem and loss.

My friends sister work at the indian embassy here in sweden. And she isnt impressed at all of india intelligens.Saying playing games concerning bying things to india is the ordinary behavior. Also kaos and no order with your people. My friend sad we should have never bothered about you in the first place, and you could try to make your cannons yourself out of elefant- and cowshit. I think its the level you seem to be. Perhaps you have the ability to make your shitty cannons,India is a big joke.

LOL. First, Sweden is not important and nobody cares in India what Sweden or Swedes thinks or does. You are not Russia or China or America. Even India is more important in the world than Sweden because we are bigger and more powerful and also our economy is bigger than yours. So you dont matter. Also, you dont sell us anything we cant get somewhere else, we also dont even allow IKEA. As for Artillery guns, if not Bofors there are many other companies that offer better or equal products.

Well, it is more complicated than what you understand. The procedures a few decades ago was very different from what it is today. Today they Army makes a request for artillery guns and type and asks companies to compete. The political authority makes the decisions as to buy or not. Politically Bofor's is blacklisted because of the bribery scandal. Thats why despite the tests etc, the government is not interested in risking another deal with Bofors.

As I said before. You are so false playing just a game from the beginning. You are to coward to say directly your ambitions. Just playing games with the contractors. You made the premises, and then you dont live up to it. It wasnt your ambition from the beginning so how can you say its the fault of the bofors company?Bofors was NOT blacklisted. Again I said it was a new Buy over 20 years later. Dont you understand?If they was expelled they would not participate in tests lasting four years!

You dont seem to understand. The Tests are done by the Army! The government makes the decision. They are two separate bodies. Bofor's gave the guns to the army to test with the hope that they could get an order.
The Bofors deal 20 years ago ended with a bribery scandal, thats why today the government doesnt want to do a deal with them again because it may end in a scandal again! Its not difficult to understand. Bofors knows this and took a chance. They may get the contract or they may not.

Its not about a new bribery scandal, just the name is enough... and to much for the politicians. The Bofors ghoost is in your minds. Only ordinary military selling. The rest some internaldirthrowing to undermine the party and politicians to get a change. Only internal politics..

You also want to try to get a deal concerning fighterplanes because your planes is totaly worthless, is the swedish planes blacklisted in the beginning to? even if you dont say it from the beginning? Why should we give you any information of our abilities when your not realy interested in the first place. Anyway your russian planes arent no trouble for us. And your Tejas is a total joke.Its not even 4 generation.Can you do anything else than lie?You dont fool anyone but your own people.Only Sad

It doesnt matter if our planes are good or not. If they were enough we wouldnt ask Eurofighter, Lockheed Martin and MIG to enter into a competition for the contract. Grippen is not blacklisted as no bribery, so if they dont want to sell us their planes we will not lose something important.
We have enough money to buy what we need, how much we need.
Also Tejas is the first fighter built in India in 40 years, so there is large technology gap. That is why we are building PAK-FA with Russia.

You will not buy f-35 or f-16 from lockheed martin, they are to expensive and not as good as said. The Eurofighter is very good (like our small beasty grippen) but to expensive. THe europeans want give you the best technical stuff either because you work to close with russia: You just pass it to them. You just want competition to push the prices down and get information you could not get otherwise. In the end you go ahead with your russian friends and the israelis helping you with avionics.
