I can just say that during a visit to CEAM in september, they declared that "A HMD is under integration". At a moment scheduled HMD was Gerfaut, but Thalès having bought visionix it could also be top sight or Scorpion. No idea sorry. About SPECTRA, i doubt it will be degraded, but maybe all the...

Some thoughts off the corner of my table... (and an info) 1- i was told yesterday by SMS by a top brass DA executive (high enough to be in Egypt) "no worries" about shukla's reports. 2- there are presently very strong political pressure from Russia so as to scrap MMRCA. 3- I wouldn't call Shukla...

Very smart remark. Hear it in a bar?

Not really, politics at DA is mous shut atm. Two points Trappier never said something so optimistic. Not his menatality (see days previous egyptian sales for ex.) I do know for sure that ppl are hired with long term contracts for india. There's a ruour inside about more DA ppl going to move to...

Which pb? tellme. I'm interested. Did you know that the day of first delivery, on schedule and nominal characteristics, VK SIngh delayed a week in a last attempt to obtain a bargain?

Dassault takes three years to build Rafale, but an indianized Rafale could be built in 18 months (after that 18 months you can't change the technical definition). I am not sure DCNS is the only one to be blamed for scorpene delays. Magazon docks have their share... Didn't hear any complaint from...

Mood id at smile.

Desperately silent. Even at vice president level.

Exclusive Interview With The French Navy On The Barracuda SSN Program Exclusive interview of Suffren class submarines head of project.

I can explain that. There's been an internal war between Fabius and le Drian about who should be responsible for weapons export. Le Drian won it and Fabius was told to stfu. So, at least officially there will be no talks about it.

Already went to india and back, will go again very soon. BAE also competed for MMRCA. To my knowledge, there wasn't any such clause in RFP.

Ahem... Indian Navy selects OTO Melara 127/64 LW gun - IHS Jane's 360

Add CPA10 :)

Absolute secrecy...

French state has a "goldenshare". Dassault cannot sell its actions shares under 50%+1 without state allowance.

Airbus has nothing to do with Rafale. Their shares in Dassault are just a historical heritage, but they have 0 decision power.

Interesting finding. Ambigous sentence.

That is exactly what they want. Be reponsible if (and only if ) they are faulty.
