Theek hai....3 dozen pack kar do

144 or 207 (with the follow on clause of 63 being exercised).


An additional 18 are being procured in a flyway condition from France 144-126=18.


Perhaps but the DM also said he was pushing for the FGFA to be fast tracked, the Rafale will just about cover the immediate needs of the IAF until around 2025 and is not really a substitute for the FGFA but will buy some breathing room for them and stem the declining Sqn strength.

Why won't India separate plane purchase from development. Instead of getting TOT for RAFALE while working with Russia on FGFA, India should think outside of the box, such as invite France to be an equal partner on AMCA. Or join the next gen daussault project, which I'm certain is going on in secret.

India should focus on developing fifth generation planes instead of being assembler of 4th gen planes. The tot for RAFALE and a assembly line make sense 10 ears ago. But time has changed and India should get all of them, 124, off the shelf to save money. Save the money for fifth gen planes.

The FGFA production in no way going to start before 2022, and induction by 2025.

It was 2018 and now is 2025. My bet will be beyond 2030 given that it's the first fifth gen fighter Russia has ever built and they are in a crunch.

Air force will start getting Rafale jets in next two years.

I thought it's in ready to fly condition and Modi will come back on them........

Your bet? There is any worth about your bet.

BTW, how many Fifth gen fighters you have build, and yes I mean Chinese.

Congrats on India for finally get the plane.... And as I expected, right off the shelf. India could have done this back in 2012 if it had the right leadership.

Never mind it's only day 2 and Modi is sure to come back with -

TOT for Rafale is going to be used in developing AMCA. So no need for ordering Rafale from France directly and also asking France to partner on AMCA. Two times work.

By the way Rafale is almost a 5 gen aircraft.
