1.6b$

The article mentions certain "American technology"; do we know what that is yet or can we suspect it to be the EMALS as mentioned by previous reports? Both the Rafale and F/A-18 should* be able to take off from STOBAR carriers, although with a hampered fuel/weapons load.

*Unconfirmed but theoretically possible

1.6b$

It doesn't sound much if it is going to equip EMALS and AAG from US.

1.6 lac crores is close to $20.6bill

The US Nimitz class carriers cost over $11bn each and 3 carriers for 1.6 lakh cr which is over $20bn is still a lot for a country like India. Moreover, I don't think US would offer EMALS tech unless we procure F-18 for IN or F-16 for IAF and I am highly skeptical they would offer significant ToT for those jets except for some nut and bolt job.

I would prefer Rafales anytime over US weapons systems which would also help us in maintaining uniformity and commonality among our fleets and would cost logistical and maintenance nightmares

Indian themselves are confused by their own numbering system too? By the way, it's lot of money for one carrier.

If it is true, how can the AC launch Rafales?

Rafale is STOBAR compatible but not with full load. Maybe DRDO and IN need to work on EMALS/CATOBAR by the time our next AC's construction starts because INS Vishal is most likely to field Mig-29's

It happens, at times we do miss out a number or two

Its is $20.6bill at a conversion rate of 63.4/$. Do the math yourself,nobody is confused. And yes its a huge amount but it will be spread across a decade.

1 lakh=0.1 million
1 crore=100 lakh or 10million or 0.01 billion.
So 1 crore = 0.01 billion.

Check your calculations boy, Rs 1.6 lakh crore is roughly equal to $25 billion with conversion rate of Rs 63.4 per $!!!

A mullah or a hidutva? Why would you go to a mullah to learn math?
