India to sign 126 combat jets deal by December Confirmed

[Abingdonboy]

I just can't decide anymore- I have been for EFT, for Rafele I just can't decide. But TBH whichever fighter IAF gets will be one of the finest in existence so I'm just waiting for one to be inducted.

10.4 Billion dollar for 126 aircrafts? I doubt it because my estimations show actual price will be 11.5-12.5 Billion for 126 Rafale as unit cost of Rafael is 90 million plus the armaments and other goodies will cost it 100-110 and if Euro fighter is bought then it will be 15 billion dollar. Correct me if i'm wrong

yeah you are probably right about the increase in cost..They estimated this price years back..It has to increase by to some extent by the time the deal actually happens.

This deal has become more of a tool for arm-twisting for India,when it comes to International politics...I guess thats why nobody wants to finalize it any time soon.

LMAO,rightly said
At least then we'll have someone who knows a thing or two about Defence working @MoD

Dont ever think of that he will sell all the current fighters and buy gripens , that too in thousands..

You dont know how disturbed jha really is....
