[Contract Killer]

Indian Govt. has balls......................

After this...........US reaction

1. India is not Fit for UN permanent seat.
2. Pakistan is our(US) true friend.
3. Will have to rethink our(US) Strategic partnership with India.
4. Obama plans visit to Pakistan.
5. Bla Bla Bla...................
6. US Ambassador Resigns.

guess the time for closing the MMRCA thread is drawing near

 

[SpArK]

Cool.

Whats the reaction of those who were left behind ? Any official responses on their course of action ?

It will take time for them to evaluate the decision and comment upon that... They indeed are participants in other tendors and deals.. nothing of a high can be expected... we are just playing by rules.. If at all rafale was discarded they were the ones who were expected to make a cry... now its between europeans to settle. Whoever gives a better deal gets the contract.. and yes we are the real winners... and US can go sell falcons and hornets to aussies or arabs..

145 M777 Howies,C-17s, P-8I,C-130 J , possibly the Apache helis and Chinooks too - US happy

On a lighter note - we have once again proved ourselves as evil Chanakiya Bhartis who took the help of US in the nuclear deal and dumped them both in nuclear trade and MRCA tender

True that.

There are enough 'allies' in all continents to buy their products left right and centre.

Leave India alone.

Oh.. finally some fresh news to see. After a long long wait.

 

[Urbanized Greyhound]

So now technical bids over and commercial and strategic choices to be evaluated by the MoD . I wonder if the IAF technical committee would reveal if they found any particular aircraft amongst the two . Eurofighter or Rafale ...superior to the other , or more compatible with our requirements ?
