Rafale has a milaege problem.
Pilot was safe unlike the EF mishap with Saudi Pilot.
F-22 pilot killed in the last crash....
Does it mean ...?

...While officially, “negotiations are still going on”, according India’s senior foreign ministry officials, the reason for the delay seems to be that the high cost of upgrading the fighters is causing a rethink, informed sources told defenseworld.net....
...The cost of upgrading the 51 fighters is working out to an average of Euro 45 million per piece which is well over the price of acquiring a new generation fighter such as the Rafale or F-16 which is around Euro 30million-35 million.
thank GOd we didnt chose french avionics for JF-17..JF-17 upgrade cost per aircraft was 32 million(50 aircrfat for 1.6bn)
BEst option is this replace them with Rafale and get EF or f-18 by MRCA
No mate....IAF has been using Mirages from decades now....It takes years to fully understand a new platform and use the machine to its full potential. Also, Please don't forget the cost of adding ground supports for new platform. Mirages are excellent fighters and after upgrades they will be match for anything that our adversary can throw at us....Considering all this i believe we should convince France to reduce the cost...IMHO That will be our best deal
I heard somewhere that IAF spends Rs-11 Crore (110 million)on an IAF pilot for training etc.
Sorry did not get your point...Can you please elaborate???
On an average, Indian Govt. spend Rs11 Crore on each and every flight cadet from the day one till he is up for what he is trained of.
So far I remember, I read it somewhere there was a news that a good chunk of IAF pilots are applied for retirement coz of slow pace of promotions etc.
100 IAF pilots opt for VRS: Air Chief - India News - IBNLive
