JF-17 French Avionics Deal On Hold/Cancelled

[Abu Zolfiqar]

well, a few problems here...

a.) Frenchys always like the cash up front
b.) defence deals with the French is more of a headache than anything else; French defence contractors are also corrupt
c.) given that the French are making very incorrect moves by signalling that they will arm the indian air force, and given the 'mood' lingering over the attack on French employees of DCN - it's hard to see any major deal seeing fruition


the doors are not closed though - but for now we should focus on "sanction-proof" systems and technologies --especially given that the French government (at least under this rascal Sarkozy) is positioning itself as the U.S.A's lapdog. Another country with "NATO-baggage" attached to it.

They probably want the Rafale to win the MMRCA

of course they do....MMRCA is a large tender, it's a multi-billion dollar deal ---and this is an industry that employs a huge amount of people

indian defence deals however tend to be convoluted, ridiculously slow and lackadaisical and mired in corruption......so we will just have to wait and see what they do. My guess for IAF's tender is that it will be between the Eurofighter & the Rafale
