I suppose one could look at it that way. Certain parties with vested interests are seeing this deal creeping towards closure and are going on an all out attack to malign and disrupt the process.LOL i like the way so many speculations are gng on... m 100% confident now that the deal is seeing final signing time.. now the decision is just when.. now or after 4 months...
My belief is from the fact that since so many BS is getting posted all over, the heartburn and vendetta to derail is seeing magnanimous proportions... the day its signed, wud love to see those sulking faces...
When will someone have the GUTS/BALLS to make a decision on this saga either way.
YES OR NO put us out of our misery

So the bottom line is Rafale deal will be signed next fiscal year and it has been delayed because of budget cuts nothing else.Delay in MMRCA mainly due to financial crunch. Next year the process shall continue: Antony.
MMRCA will materialize, Def Min Antony says. Not this financial year but in the next financial year.
Antony says delay in MMRCA not only due to life cycle cost complaints but also as no money left in capital fund this year.
On MMRCA, Antony says the def min got complaints on life cycle cost calculations. Matter has not been sorted out by inquiry is on.
That's a good idea. I second thatmaybe an interime 18 fighters contract in order to fill incoming IAF gap and start training pilots/mechanics early.

I don't see a new govt, especially a Modi-led one challenging this purchase. He's about having a strong military. But yes it will delay this deal for months maybe to mid-2014.Or political reasons due to the coming elections? Sad, but not surprising.
What for? The reports say not in the current "fiscal year", but the next starts from march onwards, so there is no gap that an interime order now would fill. IF the current government remains in power, they will buy Rafale after the elections. If a new government comes, things will be different again. That's what happens when you delay things for the wrong reasons.

I don't see it. The case for the Rafale is well understood and the IAF aren't going to let that happen. To be fair none of those noises have been coming out of the BJP, nothing to indicate the Rafale deal is in jeopardy. If there was the BJP would've already been up in arms about it but instead they aren't interested. With the industry offsets involved with this deal I think someone as pragmatic as Modi will be able to see the benefits of this deal. Dassualt have already said they are prepared to deal with whomever gets into power so they must have done their research and must have their arguments ready.I wouldn't bet on that. Keep in mind that we talk about politicans and they surely will have issues to go for a deal, that will mainly be related to Congres and Antony. Not to mention, that they could fuel the notion in the public, that going for indigenous fighters instead, would be better. So more LCA MK1s and no Rafales at all, which is the worst that could happen for IAF and the Indian aero industry, but definitely secures votes.
