What's new

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

. .
In modern age, building 28 aircrafts a years is simply NOT possible.

So, it was possible in Stone Age?

You should check the difference in defence budget between US and France. Also the difference in industrial muscle.
We are weaker than both. So, how India going to achieve 20 LCA/year?

You remember anything about supply and demand problem?

Modi is bringing ancient Indian diplomacy to a new level. Indians have always tried to connect with people than 'contact'.

I'm liking it

BREAKING NEWS : Just watched our defence Minister's latest response on rafale deal .

This is what he said and Surprise is there too .... :D

DM : We have purchased 36 Rafale is fly away conditions. And more Aircraft will be made in India for medium multi role purpose. It would be any fighters Rafale or other. I don't want to go into it. Since for the past 14 years from 2000 we haven't inducted any major Advanced aircraft. So we will looking at adding more Advanced jets . Rafale is 4+ generation aircraft (very capabcapable is what he ment)

We have well upgraded jets like Mig 29 mirages etc all are 3rd gen fighters .

But Dassault with 100 years of experience & advance production technique cannot produce 28 a year

The only cure for deluded people like you is patience. Wait and see how long it takes.

LM would produce more than 300 F-35 per year

LM has not produced 300 F-35 a year and the F-35 program itself is under a big question mark. Where do you get your info from?

HAL with many manual method produce 15 MKI per year

Can HAL manufacture MKI and other aircraft at the same time?
 
.
144 or 207 (with the follow on clause of 63 being exercised).

144 from previous 126...... sir, why is this increase???? and what about future procurements of FGFA??
An additional 18 are being procured in a flyway condition from France 144-126=18.

Can we assume increase in number means may delay in induction of FGFA...
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.
 
. . .
Once we start producing them, the numbers are definitely going to rise.
