Typhoon was never the choice...F 18s and Rafale were leading and due to our inability to go around the CISMOA the MoD and the IAF decided to drop the F 18 Super Hornet.

Pro Rafale

- ready & proven
- truly multi role capable
- cheaper per unit and in operational costs
- higher upgrade level
- better future
- commonality to Mirage 2000
- possible follow deal for IN
- good experience with French government and industry



Pro EF

- good A2A fighter
- when fully developed, probably the better AESA radar
- desperate manufacturers and partners, that might offer more industrial benefits than usual
- increased economical relations to 4 countries
- increased political relations to UK and GER


I would say 70:30 for the Rafale, 60:40 if the EF partners are as desperate as I believe, but still the Rafale package is the clearly better choice for Indian forces in first place and for our industry/politics. The French can only beat themself by beeing too stingy in terms of industrial benefits, but that was actually always an advantage of them, which is why our industry has several JV, co-developments, or licence productions with them.
