Rafale would have been a winner had we chosen EFT...Leave them...

Multiple thanks.

first sale of rafale

 

[KRAIT]

80 birds may be added later on and it could go to different vendor and i believe this will be for navy
and jet will be f-35

I was bit surprised by this. But IF we select F-35, then we wont get it before 2018 , while IF we select Eurofighter then we can have parallel deliveries of most advanced 4.5 gen. fighters. I know my scenario is somewhat dreamy, but i wish it happens this way.

OH! this means Indian Airforce is screwed up by the kickbacks and bribery....The Frenchies are well known for their secret underhand dealingz....
The Rafael is nothing in front of EuroFighter.........India got screwedup BIGGGGG...TIMEEEE........

angur nahi mila toh angur katta

the EFT supply chain could be inferior to that of the Rafale - RAF had issues with its EFT's during the libyan air-blockade. so the IAF planners seem to have done their homework. Rafale has one supplier Dassault whilst EFT is made by a consortium of countries and the SC could be a complex issue.

It's totally possible. But, i doubt that's case here.

Now...where was that kid who was moaning yesterday that India didnot have funds to buy as everything was eaten away by corrupt babus

 

[prabhakar]

anyone knows about the pricing ??

 

[jackyy]

However, government sources told Reuters about the $15 billion deal that France's Rafale jet was the likely winner, adding that the defence ministry was now considering buying another 80 or so jets and could invite bidders excluded from the current process to take part.

f-35 for navy

Its very logical and sensible. The MMRCA was originally envisaged as additional Mirage-2000 to the fleet. Especially after their stellar performance of the kargil war. However, by then the Mirage's were being phased out and their production stopped. Rafale is the successor to Mirage-2000 and it perfectly fits the IAF requirement.

And dont forget the existing Mirage supporting infrastructure that can be upgraded to support Rafales..

Better A2G capablities that IAF was looking for in the first place.
