PAF and The Case for Eurofighter Typhoon

[A.P. Richelieu]

In this year and point of time, Tranche 3 is the only way to go, 5-10 years ago tranche 1 and 2 would had been ok but not now.


Yes but you need to know, Germany(post nazi period), Italy, UK, and Spain never where able to produce modern day capable fighter jets. Thats why the Eurofighter program was created and why France left the program. It was only after these countries put money and resources together they could jointly produce a 4.5gen fighter jet.

• E.E. Lightning
• Panavia Tornado

Yes some where built but they where never as good as the Americans, or Soviets and even the French.

Now indians will claim that it caan take off from a trailer that is why it is put here.

Are you going to pay thaT price of tranche 3 with your credit card mr..??

It's too late to buy tanche 1 or 2. tranche 3 is the only option or else no typhoons.

While the cost of EFT's project is more than $23bn, development cost of Tejas is around $1-1.5bn. It is also the reluctance of IAF's top brass to induct Tejas for the kickbacks and commissions they receive from foreign vendors and the congress govt which is a strong supporter of corruption and has been tainted with many scandals didn't insist IAF to induct indigenous tech like the IN. Why do you think the IN indigenously designs and develops their own destroyers, frigates and corvettes and inducts them in large numbers.

Source for the $1.5 B production cost of Tejas?

For God sake, PAF.....U take so much time in decision making....???? U do not seem to be clear what u want.....

Buy something European....Break the illusion/perception that u are confined to only Chinese tech, which in neighbor's opinion, is not as capable as western staff....

U need to counter lot of things, PAF.....U are giving impression that u are not doing anything and on the other hand , Indians , almost on daily basis, announce defense plans....

I know we can't equalize Indians but still......

That diplomat article is written by an Indian but still,

"Yet 32 years later, despite pouring $2.6 billion into the LCA vortex, the IAF still doesn’t have a fully functional fighter"

2.6 billion dollars. Did you also take inflation in account?

 

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

Italy has (or had in 2013) 24 Typhoons available for sale from its stocks. Spain was looking to sell 18 Tranche 1s.

And they are still looking for a single engine fighter after tejas...

They still do, they are offering them to Bulgaria. But those are not Tranche 3.

 

[Zain Malik]

Oo bhai you clearly meant to say that we should not buy eurofighter In the proce of tranche three ot is better to invest all that money in TFX and JFT.

Yes some where built but they where never as good as the Americans, or Soviets and even the French.
