Hollande said more Rafale sales to India to be 'discussed' French President Francois Hollande said Tuesday further sales of Rafale fighter jets to India, after an initial deal for 36 aircraft, will be 'discussed'. The remark follows a statement from the Indian defence minister who said that any future purchases would only happen as a result of direct talks between both governments, adding that negotiations with manufacturer Dassault had 'stalled'. Images and soundbite.
