USA want India to buy American weapons, from F-35 to drones. But Hindutva regime knows these are overkill for Pakistan as no amount of weapons will take care of nuclear missiles. And hindutva regime not interested in taking on China when ever dragon decide to take back land they think is occupied by India.
The Congress is more of anti-China party in India and also more likely to defend. Hindtuva regime will bend over against China. This is what Rahul also tells when ever he goes on western tour.
Well purchase of f35 represents more than capability purchase, it requires significant networking and infrastructure that needs American support, so represents American access and ingress to a higher degree.
India clearly does not want this - this reservation tells you India has no interest at really taking on china, if you don't want the best plane in the world to defend against china then maybe you don't want to confront china?
Who knows, if china start to really pull ahead of USA, just imagine will India dump alignment to West?
The relevance for Pakistan here is if the anti china alliance looks ineffective and scattered or unified then guess what, all that military in India can be redirected at Pakistan , which India is much more comfortable with
