Meteor is best Missile Indeed Best BVR out there.I don't think Astra will Match its performance in this decade
How are you So sure Brother ???
Yeah i have read that.Is there Any Corporate Lobby Working For it I mean Reliance,TATA or other Do you Have any Inside InformationThe MoD put out a RFP to build 90 jets in India a few weeks back- this was explicitly for building 90 Rafales in India- 36+90=126, isn't it funny how that figure reappears
I don't have any inside info mate but I guess we can expect the usual suspects- TATA, Reliance, L&T etc
Yaar,Its our Mistake, Pathetic Bureaucrats of MOD Who Poorly Drafted Contract, We Should have pull this off When we had Time,Now Dassault have other customers in Line.We Lost our Gained Momentum.Hope Mod gained something in negotiation or Its Another Overpriced Like M2k Deal in Making.
As per the agreement reached between the two leaders in April, France assures delivery of the first Rafales to the IAF within 2 years of the contract signature- regardless of other exports. Dassualt will be ramping up production anyway and many of Egypt's Rafales are coming from FrAF orders anyway.
Regardless of that mate. If you think 8 years are not enough to select and buy a plane. Not develop just buy. If 8 years is not enough then I rest my case.
excellent analysis,even i was thinking about the same thingThe MoD put out a RFP to build 90 jets in India a few weeks back- this was explicitly for building 90 Rafales in India- 36+90=126, isn't it funny how that figure reappears
.If my "little sparrow" is to be believed then we will eventually buy 189 Rafales as projected a few years back.The only difference being that the deal will happen literally on our terms
Yeah that Part I Know, But if we built Rafale Under new RFP issued by MoD the Price will be increased For Indian Built Rafale Itself that will Rise the Total cost of Deal. Its very confusing I thought We cancelled Fist Deal due unresolved Price Negotiations
