Talk abt how livefist is shocked that even after first pointing their mistake and Rafale addition late in the poll, finally it's Rafale onl which won the poll
And they don want to declare results now citing meek reasons...
Not so much money.. I am sure that a couple of thousand dollars would have done their workSo much money being wasted by SAAB
Gripen MII is guaranteed because it is cheaper and better than the F-16.
Have you considered setting up of 2nd LCA production line with help of private cos?
Rafale and Gripen MIIs are practically guaranteed. Now the question is whether Parrikar will also order the SH.

Grippen is not better than F 16
Let us go for F 16 if we are going to make TWO planes
And if we decide to make only ONE plane then it should be Rafale
Gripen is easily a generation ahead, both in performance and avionics. Plus Gripen is cheaper in LCC.
Plus it will increase GE's footprint in India making ToT easier for AMCA.
The decision for making Rafales has already been taken. Rafales are coming. We are talking about a second imported line, and a third.
Three lines? If you choose the right two first, you will not need a third one. It will be a waste on money and energy. Do you ever have enough strong company to cope in such high technology?Gripen is easily a generation ahead, both in performance and avionics. Plus Gripen is cheaper in LCC.

There are two problems:
1. We are yet to see if the LCA program succeeds.
2. If production is to be expanded, HAL wants to do it.
The issue with point 2 is HAL doesn't want to give away their hold on the LCA program. In fact, they now want the govt to cancel the multiple MRCA programs and focus only on their products. They want the LCA program extended to 24 jets a year. So in case a second line is setup, it is doubtful if HAL will assist the private companies with good intentions.
Regardless of what you see here, Gripen is not seen as a threat to the LCA program.
forget it grippen just has the biggest marketing budget than any other OEM in indian defnce market and SAAB dont have any ground breaking tech with them what either LM or Boeing or GE or BAE cant give usGripen is easily a generation ahead, both in performance and avionics.
