Could India's Review of MMRCA Selection Process Bring Back Eurofighter?

[karan nationalist]

india may review the process of arriving at the lowest bidder in the MMRCA fighter contest which could open the door for Eurofighter to re-enter the competition.



Media reports today said that Indian defence minister AK Antony had recently ordered the process to arrive at the lowest bidder in the multi-vendor tender be reviewed after completion of the whole procedure as questions had been raised over it and the minister had taken cognizance of ‘concerns’. However, independent confirmation of this ‘recent order’ could not be made.



There is a lack of clarity in the reports about why the selection process be reviewed after ‘completion’. Does completion mean successful conclusion of negotiations with Rafale? In which case where is the need for a review of the selection process.



However, indications received from various sources say that the negotiations with the lowest bidder Dassault, now into their third year, have been dragging precisely over the issue of cost- life-cycle, outright price and offsets.

Loses to rafale in sensor fusion and air to ground capabilities.

Plus rbe2 aa aesa is fully operational for 2 years now and captor aesa is just in prototype stage only.

We want a multirole aircraft and not air superiority.for that we will get pakfa post 2020

well gurjot F18 is not a turkey at best you could say rafale is sexy while F18 is fit

having said that Mig 35 still has too much going for it and looking at the recent changes in geopoliticks i wont be surprised if india finally goes for Migs again as it did in 1980s

Nope it won't,trust me.

That plane is just a modified mig 29 k with aesa(non operational) currently.

It will be 100 pc rafale
