A world premiere - Saturday, April 12th | Dassault Aviation WebTV
Apparently Rafale is concerned . make your guess (i have mine, but would be too nice)
yes
Some nice news today in Air & Cosmos. Export will allow to implement new industrial process on Rafale, like canards building using "adding carbon filaments" (dunno how to translate) technique. Good for RCS ;) , for india and for france
Air&Cosmos, Feb 2013. summed it up here eurofighter @ starstreak.net • View topic - Typhoon export prospects snapshot
Obviously Rafale team (not only Dassault) will not communicate about that before any signature... (and probably not after either as they consider it is client privilege to do so)
i cant answer to that question, all depends on how it is calculated. And as you imagine, as it is negociated, noone will tell you. I can only give you fly away cost for a french one. Last numbers i heared about indians are around 85 to 120 M$ total procurement cost. But these values are just hot...
Lots of issues were raised here recently.
First price. I heared of that 30 billion and was told BS. (to be plain).
Second well cost. Don't forget ToT costs include a lot of training, industrial procedures (you just don't build a Rafale the same way as a F-35 or Mki, no judgements about planes...
It is possible to increase it, but would not be interesting to start a ramping up for the first 18 indian aircrafts. In fact it is in "Loi de Programmation Militaire" to put production of french Rafales "on hold" in order to produce indian ones. (which both allow a constant rythm and spending...
There are some mistakes in the article. Trappier stated that Dassault is not in preliminary talks with canadian manufactureres as officially Canada is still commited to F-35. And delivered Rafales atm aren't F3R (2018 std software), but tranche 4. Nvm.
The 20 nEUROn test flights are since...
What i can confirm is a "source close to the negociations" told me there was an agreement between indian parties to proceed on MMRCA whatever is the result of elections.
Which is already more than i expected as an answer...
That very same source was less optimistic last summer in Le Bourget...
Funny : you release news before me as Mr Trappier was answering my question ;)
All this delay for signing the contract was due to workshare issues, isn't it? So...
Yes workshare is established between HAL and Dassault. There will be two supply chain, and the industrial meccano is built in...
Wait till elections i gues, still i'll be the 13th at Dassalt annual conference, will let you know if anything new...
You are probably right, but it deserved a small article to inform canadian ppl no?

As "journalist" (minor one tbh), i can only repeat what i heared. Technically contracts are more or less wrapped, 50 to 200 ppl worked on it for 2 years.... And as a Dassault executive told me this summer, "we dont want to mess anything with India. If we are not def sure everything wont go...
