India to buy 60-63 Rafales jets off the shelf from France; MMRCA deal off:

[Basel]

I guess they will. Since Pakistan will go for some new plate form to counter Rafales.................and this will make a difference if PAF goes for J10b............ 36 or 64 of them will make a lot of difference

If PAF will go for J-10 then they may like to go for the most updated "C" version not "B" version as the "C" version can handle any 4.5+ gen IAF can through against PAF.

both are for china...we have enough mig 29s for those old block 50s...so there nothing new to concern you!

Nah, you usually send MKI at our border during hostilities which mean IAF take those old F-16s very seriously.

Presa conference is on but nothing on Rafael yet

Regardless of the massive cut in numbers, it seems Pakistan may end up having to speed up it's procurement of a high tech fighter soon. Even in small numbers, 60 is more than enough of a threat.

There is no cut in the overall numbers. 36 Rafales will be purchased in flyaway condition direct from France. The remainder will be manufactured in India itself under a new HAL-Dassault consortium.
