Rafale proposal 'effectively dead' as Dassault bid not cheapest

Except P 8 all others have spare Russian system.The fact is they will neutrilized the capability of IAF with a single statement in Washington.

You mean Except P 8 for all others we have a Russian system as substitute, right?

I.E for C 17 GM III we have IL 76, For chinook we have Mi 26.

India should invest its $20 billion to develop AMCA and Tejas.
Do you think if India backs out from this deal then it may help us with our thunder's weapon/avionics package? In past due to Indian influence and with option of MMRCA France denied us the avionics.

Whoever is advocating for SH..

then why should we go for SH? there will be not ToT as the way we wanted! Go for F-35 instead with strings attached (same as SH) with comparable cost.

It's becoming clearer on a daily basis that there is no ToT, not the way we want anyways. Depends on how much bargaining we can now do with the Americans after getting a government whose DM does not have reflexive anti-Americanism inbuilt. We are now building a new relationship, I wouldn't judge it necessarily with the old paradigms.

Not sure about the F-35 for now. Maybe sometime in the near future, especially for the navy.

It will be a paradigm shift if we go for American fighters with strings. And do not underestimate American cost structure. They are masters to offers items to India in very higher costs. Javelin, and our other deals are examples. It is good to do JVs with them nothing else. Not much important stuff like transport planes etc is fine.

It must be corrected that there is no Transfer of Technology with a SH purchase, US has already started agreements on various transfer of technologies if we follow the recent news.

Also Boeing and the US have proposed to give technology even in the concluded brazil competition.

And yes, Growlers are bought by Aussies, hence its also on available list.

What I was referring to was that no one is offering us "complete" ToT, there is no point holding it against the Americans alone.

You should apply against this Negative rating

I've decided not to anymore. I appealed my previous rating and warning to @Oscar, and got no response. As you can see, the Pakistani member's shitty flaim bait passed the test of acceptability for @Horus. So I want the negative to stand, because it says something about the raters and the rating system. Since I don't have any respect for the rating system anymore, I shall respond ball for ball (or "mortar for bullet", as the BSF calls it) to such trashy posts by Pakistanis, if the mods don't neg them or delete them. I know I don't initiate trolling, I only respond, and only when their trolling is given a pass, and only because I have lost faith in the ratings and moderation.

Might be too late, as you have already integrated Chinese avionics on it. But maybe for block-II, or in a mid life upgrade, if the Frenchies don't charge you an arm and a leg. From our experience...
