India will dump MMRCA Deal with France : Russian Media

why not IAF talk to US about F-35 ??
they are 5th gen , stealth design , and much better than Rafale ..
 
.
It doesn't work like that
if the Russians want India to play the mistral cards with France for them then they should return the favor by doing something concrete ........
Supplying choppers to an perceived enemy doesn't help much in confidence building......
Russia is an ally and should behave like one

Donot want to derail an Indian thread, but Pakistan already prepared with its 4.5++ Gen 18 F-16 block 52s. So its been catered for.

Engine issue is not a major problem....the prototypes r out already.

I dnt want to derail this thread with if block 52 is 4++ than what will you call Block 60 and even better Block 60I??
Engine is a major issue and even China understand that, J31/J20 both are using russia engine.

We dnt want to get permission from USA for any action of our airforce, US fighter plane has lot of restrictions before using them so India simply dnt allow any such rules.

So a fleet of under 100 F-16 Blk 52s (without AESA) is what the PAF is intending to counter 126-189 Rafales? Let's not even factor in the 270-300 MKI fleet shall we?

Sorry to burst your bubble but the F-35 is nothing special and overpriced. The FGFA/PAK-FA is the Russian answer to the F-22 so will be more than enough for the J-XX series. Heck, if I was a J-20 pilot I wouldn't be so dismissive of the Rafale- it is one of the few fighters to actually "kill" a F-22 (in a joint air exercise) and its passive and active electronic sensors are absolutely world-class.

I find it as intelligent move by Russia. Making such claim on their national news paper will create a trust issue between India and France. They will put blame on each other and can be a reason for cancelling the deal. So, it is an arrow in dark which might hit for Russia.

Everyone knows with AWACS & AEWS, AESA counts for crap. A AWACS with 300km+ detection range, can detect AESA Rafale from far off, until F-16s & JF17s or Chinese SU 27s, can pick them with there PESA radars. So wat u think now is not a big deal.

Rafales will still be hunted down...like Mosquitos.

J-20 in service in 2017? J-31 for PAF??? This is news to me!! :cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:





Someone needs a reality check :crazy:

nope...they're happy with their illusion.we're happy for their delusion..no need to change this cycle. :lol:

Till now they dnt have any other option apart from F35, this is only 5th gen aircraft available for export till now (all other are in development) and countries you mentioned are old customer of USA hardware.

But we can choose any one either F35 or PAKFA/FGFA
