For building light fighters in India, Saab officials want government-to-government deal

[uparyupari]

But 30% offset clause won't increase the price . 30% french will have to invest in India . Tats 2 billion for the raffle deal . What ever they want to make its up to them . So deal is around 6.2 billion USD ...

There is No such thing as a free lunch.

IF you want 30% offset, you have to pay for it too. That will certainly factor into the price negotiation.

i think india should order
36 saab for light catergery
36 f-16 for light medium
36 eurofighter for medium category
and 36 mig 35 so Russian wont be angry

maybe but f16s failed to impress IAF during mmrca trials. besides, no matter what, India wont fly american fighters. other support platforms are okay.

Oh so plan is slowly and steadily been established to counter their one and only competition Tejas MK1 . It's the price we are paying for the blunder in all stages . Tejas team will be very upset if it's true . But Best option will be to for 100 MK1 and focus on MK2 . Since we needed to replace Mig 21 fleet go for 100 Gripin or 50/60 just for ToT and insight into their way of carrying out production line . Which we lack with Tejas . And accept this offer . Only if they commit to transfer their entire supply line here and Make in India for their future orders .

As things panning out . Swedeners may be playing a trick here . By showing willingness to shift their supply line to Maharastra they are hoping India will place some squadrons as we need to upgrade and replace large part of Migs.

But who knows We are playing trick with both Sweden and France . 1) Sweden in hope of orders might shift it's production line to India . But ending up with None (Which I like it )

2) Now this deal is sounds sweet for India and very much affordable for India so it might put lots of Pressure on French who are pressing hard bargain for additional squadrons of Rafale .

Again don't predict on what you see ! THIS government is very clear . Can surprise every one with new deals . Which comes out of no where .

Wtf !!!

We don't like Gripin to jump in . But sadly Gripin NG will be a better option in long run . Less man power needed . Can add any weapon system NATO has . But I wonder cost would be less than 70-75 mil per pop . 69 mil usd for NG as for as I know .

@PARIKRAMA @Abindongboy @The_Sidewinder !!!!!!


36 Rafale 6.2 billion ?
36 NG 5.4 ?

I beg to differ. Induct LCA in large no, let the platform grow. Why waste taxpayers hard earned money for something which has a local alternative. Additional Rafales is what we need. But right now inducting Lca mki is large no is the need of the hour. Mkii will be there in time.

No more a different platform. India should invest in Tejas rather than in Gripen.

Of course, it's better to invest in indigenous industries, rather than simply buying foreign goods off the shelf.

For all those who think that there will be any "Mini MMRCA" or the grippen just mioght sneak are living in afools paradise here is what PMO &MOD &new DM wants and IAF is bieng told that
1. technikal envelope will be pushed to its limits on MK1 itself and ways are bieng devised to streamline it and reduce its wieght + AESA based Radar ,EW suite & self protection jammers are bieng devloped toenhance capabilities of Mk1 and it will be produced in large numbers (6 squads approx)

2. Work on MK2 is given more priorty and project will be completed in a record very short time

3. main focus is on AMCA and it will be the main stay / back bone of future IAF fleet

4. rafale will be FFB and not more than 4 squads will come to india

5. FGFA will come very shortlli much before than many thought before

now as for PLAAF well we cant as of now match them either in numbers or budget so we have no choice but to be ready to fight them of with whatever we have if there is such a scenario but we cant just drain of owr limited resources on a paranoia
we cant scrap LCA but we are tyring to make it better with help of some foriegn and domestik partners we are not pakistan who will get "help in return of war remitence or helping its bortherlli nations"

LCA MK1 will be made better and main focus is onspeeding up R & D on MK2 & AMCA and to have defnce from any agression air defence radars/missiles will get a booster shot till the production of indian aerospace industry comes into full steam ...any other questions ?

 

[migflug]

Parikkar has confused everyone . Sometime he talks of 6sq mk1 and developing mk2 another its differt single engine plane.
No detail on rafale till now. Aq to sukla we will have 66 of it.
Nothing diclosed abt mk2. amca on paper
Fgfa will come before 2020 for sure. May be some push on putin visit.
Nothing is clear abt iaf future.
Can be dim or extremely bright
