France offers technology to India to build 'desi' missile

Bangalore, Feb 11 (PTI) France is ready to transfer technology of its surface-to-air missile to Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India so that this country can build its own version, French Minister of State for Defence Jean-Marie Bockel said today.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of air show, Aero India 2009, he said the offer is currently under discussions with Indian authorities.

On the absence of Rafale, made by France's Dassault Aviation, one of the contenders for India's 126 fighter jets contract, from the show, he said Rafale is on display back in France and is available for those who want to test it.

"All the Rafale that could have been sent to India for this air show...Are presently in (combat) operation in Afghanistan", he said.

"Rafale will be present at all stages of evaluation (in India in its bid for the contract) and we believe it's the best plane available", Bockel said.

Asked if France would stop sales of weapons to Pakistan in the wake of Mumbai terror attacks blamed on elements within that neighbouring country, he said "France wants Pakistan to act very concretely and fully against terrorism at all the levels of the State".

"We say that to Pakistan, we will continue to say it to Pakistan", Bockel added. PTI

[Awesome]

Nations should really stop arming India. Its inhumane of them to support the tyranny of India over its smaller neighbors.

 

[foofighter]

I think you should say that to China.

Looks like France wants to win MRCA contact.If they do win this deal then it will be great for French Aviation Industry.Good Luck to France.

 

[Moscow]

it seems that in the name of mrca, india will be getting much more than the 126 aircrafts.

This shows the mentality of Indians, Every one is telling them Pakistani Govt or Army was not Involved but they just wont listen. Why anybody must stop selling Arms to Pakistan at first Place? If Pakistan have Money France will be more than Happy to sell arms to Pakistan.

"We say that to Pakistan, we will continue to say it to Pakistan", Bockel added.

That was a nice reply by French.

Maybe the nations should stop arming Pakistan with their own money-no less. Its inhumane of them to support the country that uses terrorism as a state policy.

catle calling the pot black.

i see most indians are stuck at the same thing Money money i dont no how to tell ya till yesterday you were getting the same deal.

And if humanitarian issue is at indians heart shouldnt nations selling any thing to india ask the indians to put some cloths on 800million indians that cant afford a meal a day.

Not only want, thy need a win just to show other countries that the Rafale is used not only from France and that it's a good A/C. In Greece the might be out of the race, Switzerland trials ended but no decision. Brazil could be the best chance besides India cause they have close ties to them but India wants 126+, Brazil only 36+.

When India plans to spend $100 billion USD by 2020, it goes without saying that along with the acquisation of military hardware, India is also seeking to acquire a favorable stand from that country vis-a-vis India's territorial interests and economic policies

If we could spend $100 billion dollar just in few years, We would have been world 1st superpower! BTW whats the India problem about Desi missile? How much it's range?

And someone tell me since when France is capable of developing ballistic missiles?! I hate France because of its hypocrite leaders, self-proclaimed defenders of democracy, Killed thousands in Africa, Sold anything they had to Iraq during the wartime, Alongside with German, Italy, South Africa, Spain, Most of the Arabs States of Persian Gulf, U.S, Singapore and half of the world! Supporting the terrorism, MEK, Jundallah...

As a member of "Missile Technology Control Regime", It's against their own pathetic law...! (Dear Indian members don't get angry please, I'm just having some personal problems with those dumbass leaders of France!).

If i was sitting instead of Ahmadinijad i would setup an EMP and send those fools to the 19th century, I actually like a war with NATO!
