Amiri Air Force is serious in replacing their Mirage 2000 fleet which is around 20-30. So it is an apt assumption that at most 24-36 Rafael would be bought to replace all those mirages.
That's what I was thinking.
That would be a magnificent and very impressive fleet for a country of Qatar's size and population. How many units did 1.2 billion strong India order again in comparison?
India will buy 126 Rafales while 63 more with an option.That's what I was thinking.

Qatar is probably (rather they are) the most powerful country in the world compared to its size and population. Already has the highest GDP per capita as well (by far). Interesting to see what the future will tell.
Why does Qatar want to buy the enormously expensive Rafales? What is their threat perception? I think the JF-17 would have been a far better proposition. They could buy twice or thrice the number of JFs, which are no pushovers.I think Qatar government would be more concerned abouut its defence than Pakistan's forex reserves.
No offence but JF17 does not hold a candle in front of Rafale

They could buy around 100 mig 21 with that money,why not go for that.Threat perception nowadays is not a stationary condition.you never know which banana republic decides to get your land or resources.Why does Qatar want to buy the enormously expensive Rafales?

Also I think that military procurements anywhere in world have more to do with threat perceptions and not population or size of country.
I see. Another such country is Israel. With Just 7-8 Million population, they have 300+ fourth generation fighter aircrafts. LOLsI never said that. I just found the comparison astonishing. Qatar which has 0,2% (less even) of the population of India is probably going to buy 1/4 of the units that a 1.2 billion strong India is going to buy. That's crazy to think about no matter what comparisons you make. If you ask me.
Imagine how many thousands of Rafale's India would have to buy in order to reach the number of Rafale's that Qatar will have compared to its population.
A scary thought.

Yeah. Lots of things are going on in whole ME.Well, that's true. I guess that is the reality of the ME region. Once the cradle of civilizations for millenniums and now the cradle of warmongering.![]()
Mirage 2000, 20-30??? When did that happen? Last time I checked, it was around a dozen.Amiri Air Force is considering to replace their Mirage 2000 fleet which is around 20-30. So it is an apt assumption that at most 24-36 Rafael would be bought to replace all those mirages.
