Commonality seems to be the Buzz world between Indian Air Force and Aviation Arm of Indian Navy this days. After Induction of Carrier based Mig-29K into Indian Navy, Ministry of Defence has asked Indian Navy to hold detail briefing with Dassault Aviation to prepare a report if Naval variant of Rafale fighter jets can be accommodated for operations from Indian Aircraft Carriers.

According to a report prepared by Defensenews.com, Indian Navy will take deliveries of the last batch of 45 ordered Mig-29K from Russia this year and for some time has been considering the purchase of additional 4++ Generation fighter jet beside Homegrown LCA fighter jets currently in development.

According to Defence Analyst Ranesh Rajan while speaking with idrw.org said that ” Availability of Naval variant of Rafale and India purchasing Rafale for Airforce made Rafale frontrunner by default choice for Indian navies requirements to maintain commonality of fleet and logistics “.

idrw.org in past had reported that Indian Navy plans to purchase close to 200 Combat fighter jet of its own which can be used for operations from shore-based Naval Airbase and its future Aircraft carriers against growing threat perception in the Indian Ocean, its area of domain.

Interestingly Lockheed Martin too in past had briefed Indian Navy on possible sale of its 5th generation fighter jet offering from its Joint Strike Fighter programme and had offered F-35B (STOVL) and F-35C (CATOBAR) and Navy had set in motion its plans to procure 5th generation platforms for its IAC-1 and IAC-2 aircraft carriers besides Navy LCA MK-2 , it will be interesting to see if Navy can accommodate another 4++ Gen fighter along with Naval 5th Generation fighter jet.

189+ RAFALEs

189+ RAFALEs

That's just for IAF. Indian Navy will also be buying Rafales for ACC and ground base fleet. Total number of Rafales will be close to 300..

@PARIKRAMA, your source is a good source.

 

[kaykay]

Mig-29Ks are okay for Ins Vikramaditya and Vikrant but after that we would need either Rafale, or F-35C for Ins Vishaal. Say 20 aircrafts will do fulfill the requirements

@PARIKRAMA, your source is a good source.

Its like we are getting the latest updates 3-4 days before they are out in the media. all thanks to @PARIKRAMA

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

300 rafales, kaha kaha we much utha ke aa jate he ye log

 

[anant_s]

large fleet of Rafale is in strategic interest of armed forces as it will bring in benefit of operational and maintenance commonality.
IN doesn't want more MiG 29k after 45 order is complete and Rafale along with N LCA is a great choice.
@Abingdonboy @PARIKRAMA
Looks like our assumption of Dassault moving in an assembly line to India might prove correct afterall.

As predicted by @PARIKRAMA.
Well Navy had a golden future ahead

Indian naval air arm is a good 'airforce' in making. About time they will have 100+ fourth and fifth generation aircrafts in their inventory.

 

[Abba_Dabba_Jabba]

Why not upgrade the Mig-29 K on theMig-35 standards and buy them ? Instead of going for Rafales with double cost, I think Mig-35s navy version will be fine plus navy will have more experience with them. I still feel Indian navy should go for either F-35 or Mig-35(develop navy version with Russia), one is 5th gen fighter so on par compared to Rafales in terms of tech and another one is affordable and comparable to Rafale.

 

[Skull and Bones]

Given the price, I'd gladly take F-35C over Rafales any day.

 

[Spectre]

35cs are gonna be much more expensive than Rafales if you consider the spares, armaments and support services. Plus you need EMALS which is a long way off

I completely agree with you on that if we are going for Rafale( F-35s are different though). Mig-35s or even a upgraded Mig-29Ks( AESA etc) will be fine at very low cost instead of Rafales.

 

[Bharat_Bhakt]

Fake news no Rafale M as of now as orders of mig29K are not complete and some are thinking of its successor

if they really want a next gen Mig29K then replace its engines with GE414EPE, naval version of EL-2052 with a new weapons package
