Germany also said - “Nein Danke” to you, as did Italy. Most Western nations with any aerospace capabilities restricted what they were willing to sell you in some fashion, except the French. They saw others imposing restrictions as an opportunity for them.
During that time period most of your procurement of advanced systems came from a few countries like France and Russia. Example: Mirage 2000
Other examples; because of our embargo you couldn’t get needed parts for Paveway systems you had. The UK was so helpful that 60% of your Sea Kings (Westland) were grounded during that time......
You’re talking $hit-
You’re the one who’s deluded here-
Sorry if you didn’t know that the Poles are amongst the best when it comes to upgradation of Soviet weaponry.Indian T-72 tanks(100s of them),OSA SAMs,Shilka AAA guns are amongst the systems being upgraded by the Poles.Germany was pretty much having zilch cooperation with India at the moment,while Italian torpedoes & electronics continued to flow into Indian navy ships as usual.
About the SeaKing helos,well those had American electronics & gearbox systems-the Brits grounded those due to Washington.Indian Jaguar aircraft were flying as usual while the Brits continued negotiations on Hawk trainers.
India didn’t buy any Mirage-2000 in the period you mention.50 were purchased in the 80s & 10 were contracted for in 2003,long after the tests(& removal of US embargo).No major defence deal was signed with the French during that period-the only deals signed were with Russia,Israel,Poland & South Africa.
