Dassault to deliver Rafale fighter jets to India from 2019

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

ORLANDO: Dassault Aviation will deliver its Rafale fighter jets to India from 2019 and may see new orders in coming months, Chief Executive Eric Trappier told Reuters ahead of the world's largest business jet show in Orlando on Monday.

India signed a deal with Dassault in 2016 for the transfer of 36 Rafale jets but the deal has since faced criticism from Indian opposition parties who allege wrongdoing in one of the biggest defense deals.

What is news here?

It was always scheduled to start the deliveries in 3 years from the contract.

Supposed to arrive right after elections. Another 36 should be signed or better 110.

Not really.

India will have elections in May-2019 and Modi is predicted to lose.

Assuming Modi is gone the new government is bound to cancel the deal and order an anti-corruption probe.

Am feeling so proud that we are manufacturing our own fighters. It truly shows our class and expertise.Will get over this money shit soon.

This is where India failed badly. Good for you.
