How India made a very wise decision by going for only 36 Rafales and not 126 ?

[Taimoor Khan]

They couldn't afford, simple as that.

I never said any jet was not worthy of joining IAF.. I was referring to the statements by your own experts that buying and maintaining Rafael jets is prohibitively expensive and they don't have the funds to buy 126 unlike thousands of boastful claims by Indians here on MMRCA thread that 126 jets was just the initial order. Even the 36 jets is almost unaffordable, but any lesser quantity would not have made sense.

you should be happy then what are you waiting for when are you launching an attack on india then since we are so weak


i did it never says or the genral never says arjun or tejas are not worthy of joining the forces and they have saud things are fine tuned now and decks ahve been cleared it would have been fine ahd these things would have been done much much earlier looks like you need to improove your english and hindi lostening and underdrsatnding skills

point what most kids here dont know was UPA deal was a big big kick backs deal we were not getting any TOT or spare parts contract heck not even meteor or latest recce or LDP pods and some other classified weapons in that deal but in NDA deal we are getting spare parts deal + mantainence deal + 50% of ammpint of deal will be invested in india & major TOT plus many types of PODs & advanced Air to Air & Air to Ground weapons while 36 more will be built in india while there is sepprate deal to make naval version fully in india

thaat is what your defense minister said

New Delhi: “I also feel like having a BMW and Mercedes. But I don’t because I can’t afford it… So, 126 Rafales was economically unviable. It was not required,” defence minister Manohar Parrikar was reported to have said last year, when asked about the previous government’s plan to buy over a hundred Rafale fighter jets.

Well its was good we bought only 36 it was economically unviable to buy more. And now we could get much more than we had proposed back then at same price or less.

Indian PM Modi is a king of misinformation & a master of deception:

10 billion for 126 fighters or
7.6 for 36

Wise decision indeed
