Rafale Fighter Jet Deal Takes Big Step Forward

[Abingdonboy]

if this paid news by presstitutes and price is indeed in acsess of 100 million $$s even for off the shelf rafales its F/A-18EF for IAF

India would be better off spending that 7-8 Billion on 100+ super 30 mkis, and there would probably still be plenty leftover.

yeah with the price of one of these ,you can buy 2 5th gen fighters i think

Please read up on the price of 5th gen fighters before making assumptions.

France and Qatar seal $7 billion Rafale fighter jet deal - The Times of India

and yes it includes training, support etc.

The contract — the third this year for Dassault after deals to sell Rafale jets to Egypt and India - also includes MBDA missiles, and the training of 36 Qatari pilots and 100 technicians by the French army, a French Defence Ministry official said.

It is a package deal and worth the money. Defence deals cost that much only. How much do you think India had to pay for Poseidon and Hercules transport aircraft?

Quality is always expensive. Boeing, Dassault etc are not DRDO you see.

Modi government doesnt announce terms and condition clearly. Probably this deal is now continuing only one sided with agreeing all terms and conditions from French.

Here is the deal of Russian Mi-17V5
Why is Modi government paying more than UPA for Mi-17 V5 helicopters?

Rafale true force multiplier, a pair is equal to Six Mirage-2000s, deal with India soon: Dassault Chief

Eric Trappier who is the chairman and chief executive of Dassault while speaking to French media told that a deal with India regarding possible sale of 36 Rafales would be formalised this month and he also revealed that Dassault would take the lead to find a local partner, who could built additional Rafales under license in India .

Dassault Chief virtually has indicated that HAL may not be the prime contractor should India agrees to buy additional Rafale fighter jet.

Dassault Chief termed Rafale fighter jet as a true force multiplier and also said that a Pair of heavily armed “Omni role” Rafale has same combat potential as Six Mirage-2000s.

Trappier said that recent spate of export orders will need ramping up of Rafale production rates soon, but he was also cautious and said that there are certain challenges to ramp up Supply Chain which involves close to 500 entities.

Speaking on F3R upgrade program Trappier said that Integration of MBDA’s Meteor BVR missile and SAGEM Hammer AASM will take place in near future for which French government already has cleared a $1 Billion upgrade program to latest F3R standard.

Sources close to idrw.org have informed us that French negotiation team still believes that India will eventually continue with its full requirements for 126 Rafales to meet the original MMRCA .
