What's new

Are These Brand New Rafales !

So what ?

maybe some of them have a few hundred hours or something on them and are the planes where the Indians were being trained on. Too much detail lacking here.. low resolution pic, can we identify if it's a trainer or single seat, where are the pics of all the rest of them to compare with.. ever seen a jet up close ? they're pretty messy, naval ones are filthy dirty and even AF and army ones in coastal climates tend to acquire a lot more grease and corrosion/weathering owing to the conditions.

windjammer is losing his touch.. debunked already on the fake Mirage elephant walk and tandem 4 take off threads, and now this really pathetic one.


also, please, nobody fool yourselves.. 36 is just an initial order. There will be a hell of a lot more of these added to IAF and maybe IN in the future.
Get a hold of your self mate, do you even know what the naval aircraft go through and the environment they operate under, still they may look messy but doesn't means their paint peeling off and instead of making pathetic excuses of few hundred flight hours, take a look at Egyptian or Qatari jets.
You can also field 136 Rafales but we all know how the mere mention of Eight new F-16s made Indians froth in the mouth.
As for being debunked, every one has a right to their opinion....pity you who has to drag in unrelated topic to salvage his ego.....

Now compare them, it looks that even a panel on the fairing on tail has been replaced on the Indian jet.

Army aviation craft and AF assets (not carrier based) go through almost as much hell being on the sea board.

These will be in service for decades to come anyway, not exactly your army uncle's new luxury sedan.

Besides, even if the French gave the IAF these for now, what difference does it make ?

We don't know the details of the deal, it just means Indian pilots will be trained on them in home conditions now, obviously not going to be seeing any real combat duty anytime too soon.

Makes zero difference either way, the paint thing.. who knows, maybe it was a rushed last coat or something..

there are other things about it that you should be more concerned with and about.
 
My 18yrs old S class has better original paint job on this, despite 180k miles on it!
For some reasons, Indians are mistakenly made synonymous with being cheap...

The Indians always make the majority in the "return" lanes at the retail stores of my home town...
 
May b used jets on emergency order...

Indians seems to have hastened the delivery and its not the original planned. Would have cost them an arm and a limb
