They Signed Apache & Chinook Deal.Soon PM Modi will Sign for Spike ATGM & MR SAM during Israel visit . Point is Dassault has same level of Fault in this MMRCA Saga Like MoD or DM.
You are Forgetting that HAL is churning Out MKI's at rate of 16-18 Per year India currently operates 223 MKI in its inventory Alone And Final Numbers will Touch to 350 If what Experts are Saying (Excluding Mig-29UPG & M2k)
That our order is bigger and potentially more potent than any of those countries?
France may be able to wait (they are getting more orders all over the world) but the IAF is in no postion to wait, they have been screaming out for new jets for more than a decade now and only MKIs have been inducted. Right now the SQN strenght is dropping like a stone, it could be as low as 24 from a sanctioned strength of 42.
A complete fabrication bro. It's hovering arounf $8BN but the DM is said to want to get closer to $7BN.
Actually sir, as per the IGA signed by Hollande and Modi in January 2016 the total requirement is known to both sides and it is far higher than 54. It will be the largest export order Dassualt has ever received.
Irrelevent as from now until 2022 the IAF will be, on average, phasing out 1-2 SQNs a year of MiG-21, 27 and some Jags. MKI and LCA inductions will not be able to cover the shortfall alone- not even close and the GoI has set a mandate of reaching 42+ fighter SQNs by 2025, how else will this be done than by a second production line (after the LCA's) in India- as the ACM and DM have both now proclaimed will be agreed upon in the next few months.
It's like comparing apples and oranges, neither of them were asking for the quantity India is nor were they in a postion to set up a production line in their country for a MMRCA. Volume discounts do very much exist even in fighter markets.
Yes, it's very much over a relatively negliable amount such as that, MP is playing a very shortsighted game but then I have felt for a long time he is widely out of his depth.
That is happening in line with these talks, they cannot be de-linked but the agreement on that will only come later this year as it is far more complex and requires an Indian partner's agreements also. The off the shelf order for 36 is a matter of a few weeks/months away.
What save money when India's security is on line? And how much he is going to save?
