MRCA ::: India May Cancel Fighter Competition

[Red.Indian]

yeah we should just buy some jf 17's eh

yeah.............Indeed.....we should buy some Jf-17s for trainer and aerobic team(surya kiran) roles................after all jf-17 is multi role aircraft.............

F-22 crosses 200 million bench mark. without weapons package.

Bro, only last 4 fighters had a cost near to $200 million - Reason for the addition of another $50 million to the cost was the decision to halt the production.. Otherwise cost remained near $ 150 million each .

Export variant will be way more costlier.. i hope you will get that.

20 Billion $ for 126 EF or Rafael ??

I thing scrap the deal and think about F35

that will say to the world that are decession making skills are too worst. The F35 is yet to prove its worth, but these two birds have seen action over the Libiya.
and please change the name in your avatar, you insult the name of DRDO.

THE COST @ $20 BILLION & TIMECALE OF 2014-2022 makes this programme too costly and too LATE IMO.

[ashokdeiva]

US$ 20 billion for 126 aircrafts, means US$ 158.7 million per unit... Costly than F-22

Do not jump guns my dear, the cost estimates are not known to the world, lets wait for the deal to go through and then there will be a white paper published in the Parliment and CAG will tell the world how mcuh we spend on the birds.
The cost does not only account to the buying of the birds,
but also the running cost, maintanance, settiny of assemply line, TOT and ect.
so wait for it.

That I know sir, what comes with an aircraft.. Obviously export variants are costly, I maintain no ambiguity.. I was just comparing the costs of two jets, one of them is 5th gen a/c. I am sorry if that went wrong, I apologize.

We always welcomes a healthy debate.

Yeah sir, export variants are costly. But being exclusively for US, F-22 bears no such conditions... This is what my point is.

Anyway, all the best with coming MMRCA.

Behind all this gymnastics is Uncle Sam who desire that India buy F-35. Few in India realize how deep they are in Uncle's embrace, or how poisonous the embrace is.

 

[punisher]

[joekrish]
