nEUROn stealth UCAV first drone in the world to fly in formation with other aircrafts !

[A.P. Richelieu]

The DM says the India will select the fighter plane to build in India under Make in India, And 36 rafale in flyaway condition deal is separate from it. And BTW, congratullation for the latest Declaration of 100 percentage of Direct foriegn Investment Possible in Aero Defence, now the SAAB can invest and build a plant in India, and produce Gripen C/D or E and you don't need any Indian partner of any percentage. Happy Now.

...

And all this is going to be fullfilled and fixed by SAAB ?????????????????????????????????

P.S -- The total number of Squardon of fixed wing combat plane would be raised to 64, for two front war.

Do you still thinks we have no other choice other than SAAB.

There is a procedure for the procurement of any weapon system in India, which not include the USER here in case IAF which notify the requirement, and does technical evaluation and report to MOD, A MOD/RM which negotiates the deal pricing and the Finance Department that allocate the funds required for the deal.

No person either Defense Minister, PM Modi, President of India can sign the deal, without following this procedure directly leave aside Air Chief of IAF.

SAAB will be satisfied to win a deal with Gripen.
Nothing stopping India to make deals for other requirements with whoever they want.

If India feels that they can afford to select Rafale for the Made in India program,
then using the same plane as in the MMRCA makes sense, but the Made in India program does not.
Made in India only makes sense if there are aspects of the Rafale, which India cannot live with.

There are always choices. I am but pointing out the obvious issues with selecting planes
which are on their way out of production.

If made in India Gripen is Gripen produced in India for the International Customer in International Market, I don't have any problem, and will welcome it, but if it means the dreaming of Induction in Indian Defence Services by framing negative images and impression of Indigenous product, then bye bye for that particular OEM.

By the way, don't distroy this nUERON thread, and should quote me in some other place or create a thread for further discussion.

The choice of Rafale was due to the Deep Strike requirement of IAF in a strong Air defence Enemy Airspace, for which Gripen lags behind Rafale. And for lower end, its price is too high, and would be filled by LCA. For Mid level, the upgrades of Mig 29, Mirrage 2000 and Jaguar, will give the usefull life of 15-20 years.

It is spelled nEUROn BTW.

India Times:
"Pointing out that some of the aircrafts like the MiG-29, Jaguar and Mirage were being upgraded, the air chief said, “Some of our old fleets are becoming absolutely obsolete and so we need to replace them.”

“We are likely to get the Rafael soon… The government will also be inducting LCA in very large numbers — close to 120 as of now… They are also thinking of setting up one more line of fighter aircrafts in India under the Make in India project, so that the dwindling fighter aircraft force can be replaced at the shortest possible time. It is going to mature in a year,” Raha added."

Feel free to open a Make in India thread.
