[Jon Snow]

Still not sure, let any sources confirm it.

I think its confirmed - spark posted it back on indiandefence - thats good enough for me.

After how many blows to the Rafale, how many times it has been ruled out or supposedly pulled out and it goes on to win?!!



India loves an underdog!

Gr8 decision nevertheless.

Rafale Wins MCRA

he French Dassault fighter aircraft Rafale has been selected to be the Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) of the Indian Air Force (IAF).

Dassault beat the four-nation consortium’s Eurofighter on price, with the fighter being identified as L1, or the lowest technically qualified bid.

StratPost understands that Dassault has been issued a letter from the Ministry of Defense, communicating their selection.

Three representatives of the Eurofighter consortium were also summoned to the Ministry of Defense at South Block on Tuesday afternoon, when they were informed of their loss in the competition.

The bid was originally estimated to be worth USD 10.4 billion, as per the budget estimate approved in 2007, but it is likely to have faced a substantial escalation in cost, keeping in mind inflation and the fall in the value of the Indian Rupee.

Not my personal choice, but still a very capable machine , definitely a huge boost to iaf war fighting capabilities.

right.

with mig 27s being phased out we need new gen A2G fighters and rafale fills that spot.

if this news is true we will see this forum lightened by Sparks of joy.
