Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

.
And on today's market that's 83.5 M€! ^^^^^^^^^^

Add fuel and delivery, basics and docs and get 92M€ as in
the Qatari option. Then comes the weapons . . . ETC.

A far cry from the 200+M$ some claimed at both the time
of the MMRCA and of the GtoG deal huh?


Veni vidi vici, comme d'hab, Tay.

Officials cite secrecy deal with France.
The Government cannot disclose details of the Rafale deal as Egypt and France had recently signed an agreement to protect classified information exchanged between the two sides, according to officials.

The government told Egyptian Parliament this week that the two sides signed the agreement when French President Emmanuel Macron visited India on March 10.

“An agreement between Egypt and France regarding the Exchange and Reciprocal Protection of Classified or Protected Information was signed during the visit of President of France to Egypt,” Minister of State for Defence Subhash Bhamre told Lok Sabha.

This new treaty would replace an agreement of 2008 and is the reason why the government would not disclose details of the deal for the purchase of Rafale fighters from France, Egyptian officials point out.

Mr. Bhamre further said: “This agreement defines the common security regulations applicable to any exchange of classified and protected information between the two countries.” The Minister did not provide further specifics of the agreement. This agreement replaces the confidentiality agreement signed between the two sides during the UPA Government in 2008.

The new agreement is significant in the wake of Opposition parties, alleging a major financial scandal in the purchase of Rafale fighter jets.

I WON'T DISCLOSE RAFALE PRICE AND HELP ENEMY BY RESPONDING TO RAHUL GANDHI'S DEMANDS: DEFENCE MINISTER

How the enemy would benefit just by knowing the price of the Rafale?

This is the first indirect admission of a guilt.

Sukhois were bought and the nation knew what India bought. The matter did not end at that however, India went for a super Sukhoi upgrade, which is also known to the nation as to what exactly that upgrade was.

So now, with such an absurd proclamation as the revelation of price of Rafale would compromise the security of nation, is as false as a 3 dollar US bill/

Modi enriching BJP/Ambanis for 2019 elections.

Maybe because the Rafale deal alone is less than anticipated by some, and hide some others stuff....
- access to french nuclear simulator?
- new gadgets on the Rafale?
- Assistance on Tejas 3 (or 2 or Mk1A B C...) design?
- SSN design assistance?
- Nuclear reactor for SSN co design?
etc....
 
. . . .
As an indication of anything, that formula
points less to military facts than diplomacy.

Good day all, Tay.

The Rafale deal into the focal point of its campaign for the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) has decided to hold demonstrations from the district to State levels demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee investigation.

This was decided at a meeting of All India Congress Committee (AICC) Legislature Party leaders, State unit chiefs and All India Congress Committee (AICC) office-bearers, chaired by All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi.

“In the next 30 days, All India Congress Committee (AICC) workers will fan out and hold district- and State- level demonstrations. Members of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) Working Committee, All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretaries, All India Congress Committee (AICC) State in-charge leaders, All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretaries and all others will go to every level, from district to State, and ensure that a Joint Parliamentary Committee is instituted for a fair, independent and thorough probe,” the All India Congress Committee (AICC)communications head, Randeep Surjewala, said.

The All India Congress Committee (AICC) has alleged that the France-Pakistan Rafale Fighter Plane deal has caused a loss of over ₹41,000 crore to the Indian exchequer.

“A company belonging to a friend of the Prime Minister has been given a contract worth ₹30,000 crore. It was decided that the corruption scams of the Modi government, particularly after the Rafale deal, will be taken to the people of India,” Mr. Surjewala added.

All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi.has been consistently raising the Rafale deal. He also spoke about it in his speech made during the no-confidence debate on July 20.

“We will not stop, we will not be deterred, and we will continue to push for ensuring that the Rafale deal and corruption scams are exposed,” All India Congress Committee (AICC)communications head, Randeep Surjewala, said.
