[notsuperstitious]

Pakistanis will be really very happy because if we look at Technology wise J -10 B and Rafale are of the same category and Rafale is never selected by any other country what I can see behind this decision is lot of corruption and Money Mafia involved

If it makes you happy, why the hell are you so sad?

EU is not going to be poor with 10.4bn$ nor France is going to be 15% increased in GDP this year . only its bubble by fan boys .

This deal could be worth up to $20bn+ it's a big loss for Eurofighter make no mistake about it

Or Rafale lost due to US pressure on potential buyer or diplomacy involved with EF as you can strengthen defense ties with four countries by buying one product.

Dassault is still in the running to win a contest in the United Arab Emirates, and remains in talks with Brazil about a contract.

Looks like this news might bring more offers to Dassault.

Yeah you wish. How could the J-10B be anywhere near as good as the Rafele that is built by ont of the most experienced and capable aerospace firms in the world? The sensor fusion, avionics, electronic warfare systems, engines, radar, weapon load, weapon range etc are all FAR more advanced than the J-10B. Are you honestly saying China has somehow managed to leap frog all leading aerospace companies and produce better technology? It's far fetched even for you lot. In truth there really is no comparison and you know it.

British view on this

BBC News - French Rafale jet beats Eurofighter in $10bn India deal
.
.
.
Dassault Aviation will now enter final negotiations
before signing the deal that will supply India's air
force with 126 Rafale aircraft.
Correspondents say this is one of the world's
biggest defence deals and is a major setback for
rival bidder, the Eurofighter Typhoon.
Eurofighter lost out in December on an $8bn deal
to supply jets to Japan.
Shares in Dassault Aviation rocketed more than
20% as the latest news broke.
.

Both Germany and the UK invested a lot of time in pushing the Typhoon, so this will hurt”
.
'Purely cost' Officials at the British High Commission in Delhi said they were disappointed with the decision and would now study the details.
They added: "It was expressly said this was about the cost of the contract, not a reflection on the health of bilateral relations between India and the countries."
The officials said they "genuinely believed the [Eurofighter] Typhoon offered the best capability now and in the future".
They also said it was "not beyond imagination" that India might decide the Rafale was not the right option as it continued the process.
French Minister of State for Foreign Trade Pierre Lellouche welcomed the deal, the first foreign order for the Rafale multi-role jet.
He said: "This is good news and France needs good news right now... It is good news for our aerospace industry and for our defence industry."
Mr Lellouche also complained that "political pressure applied by our competitor does not make things very easy". James Hardy, Asia Pacific specialist at IHS Jane's Defence Weekly, said this was a "big loss for Eurofighter".
"The Typhoon was widely tipped to be the favourite and had major political support from the big beasts of the Eurofighter nations. Both Germany and the UK invested a lot of time in pushing the Typhoon, so this will hurt."
Indian Defence Minister AK Antony had earlier cautioned that this remained a "long process" and that no deal would be signed before the end of March.
One Indian defence ministry source confirmed to Reuters that the Rafale had been "much cheaper unit-wise", adding: "Moreover, the Indian air force, which is well-equipped with French fighters, is favouring the French."
The Typhoon is built by the German and Spanish branches of European aerospace giant EADS, Britain's BAE Systems and Italy's Finmeccanica.
Four other bidders had dropped out in the lengthy Indian selection process.
India is the biggest arms importer among emerging nations.

Comparing apples and oranges. Different planes, different specs and different mission requirements. J10 is more suited towards high altitude air superiority missions while the Rafale is more geared towards strike missions.

J-10B is dedicated to air to face strike, image the tremendous thrust-weight ratio euipped by WS-10B. If Indian put Rafle on the carrier, it face J-15(China type Su-33).

Intresting news that the Brits may also be considering the Rafale as a stop gap for the UK's aircraft carrier.
