You do realise, that takes money?

Mate Europeans dont want Typhoons because they got offer for 5 th generation fighter from US..Its a world class Aircraft and when the bidding started there was only F-22 as fifth generation aircraft and it was not for sale..

The Typhoon will be the backbone of the European air forces it operates in, not the F-35.

And if India buys PAKFA we go for the space ship that comes in Independence Day....

J-10B better than Gripen and Mig-35?!!! In which way?

 

[hellofriends]

Eurofigher is best aircraft in the world.but if they selected can they fulfill the 'technology transfer" condition.

Childish answer China can buy any thing they want if they negotiated with EU they have real money they are not doing it they wants to improve the life of poors why dont india ( Pakistan Also but no contrast with India) follows them build their own industry that will create more jobs and save money west compare india with china only for their benefit they wants india to buy from them specially weapons
Naxal will not fight if they spend a percentage of defence spending on them India will be more strong and prosper .China is building cities by cities from scratch india should follow them

Please dont worry about Indian money, India will spend it whereever she wants to spend. Don't start lecturing on poor, food poverty etc. We will take care of these things, you don't have to bother.

Exactly, why would a country want 4.5 generation plane when the 5th generation plane is coming out. I think India should spend more money on the PAKFA project instead of buying outdated technology. The reality is that if 5th generation planes become widely available, any 4th generation, event 4++++++ planes are obsolete

agree with you. But the problem is F-35 is not for sale to India and PAK-FA is 10 years away. India cannot wait that long.

After 2020 no one has dare to challenge india!... so that we can keep concentrating only towards the growth path. cheers

Well in 2020 Pakistan will have this.

Let see if u challenge this. Lol

 

[graphican]

FYI:300 additional orders already bid is 126-200 +300=450 + or 500 got it?

Additional would mean its meanings when some order is already placed to them which practically is not. They are not even sure if MMRCA would get their way. So its not 126+200+300 the way you are putting.

In my opinion, the rafale is the best bet for India (remember, the IAF originally wanted Mirages). It is true multi-role as it has excellent air-to-ground abilities while it also has good air-to-air abilities (though not as good as the eurofighter typhoon).

As far as I am concerned, the F-18, F-16 (because of problems with American ToT and sanctions) and MiG-35 (As the IAF already have access to russian tech and are looking to diversify) are already out of the race (although I would have loved to see the MiG-35 in service in India).

I doubt that the Griphen will be selected as it does not offer much political advantages and is competetion for the LCA. Moreover, many of it's components are American and hence again prone to sanctions. Moreover, Swedish jets have never been in service in India.

That leaves us with the eurofighter and the rafale. Both have an edge over other contenders (other than MiG-35) when it comes to ToT as it has few or no american components. Both gives the IAF access to European tech. The eurofighter is better in air-to-air while the rafale has an edge in air-to ground combat. But should India go for another fighter excelling in air-to-air when it has the Su-30MKI? So here, the rafale has the advantage as it can complement the Su-30MKI. Moreover, the rafale is cheaper than the eurofighter and has a lower RCS. Infact, I think the IAF should extend the tender and induct 200 of the Rafales.
