Fingers crossed buddy!! Areva deal would be cherry on the top!
I'm wondering whether the Rafale deal will be signed during this visit or during the days before AI 2013 which I heard was a possiblity.
Surely the Rafale tech for LCA and especially AMCA is still a high possibility once this Ralafe deal is signed and ToT trickles down? Once all parties have got things cleared up then sensible decisions can be made.I think the biggest chance is his visit, since there is nothing more official, than his and MMS signature under the contract. I also guess we might here more about the final content of Mirage upgrade when the Rafale deal is signed, since there could be similarities wrt weapons procurements for example (Scalp and SPICE).
The only sad point is, that currently nothing hints on more commonality between Rafale and LCA MK2, or Rafale and AMCA the way I would have prefered it. The Rafale deal as a whole is such a big chance for us, to get way more, but I think MoD is too shortsighted again and blinded by ADAs and DRDOs hope to deal with things alone again.

@sancho
What do you think the deciding factor will be between the Damacles vs Litning LDP debate for the IAF vis a vis the Rafale? Cost or capabiltiy? And has there been a particularly intensive comparison of the two?

- Improved fire control for laser guided weapons.
- Fire control for GBU 12/22/24.
- Improved air to sea fire control.
- Improved Link 16.

From the best source when it comes to Rafale news!
Please let me know is India going for F3.3 Rafale or lower version....?
please tell me the source
The Rafale we get will be the F3-O4T or F3+:
Rafale News: Rafale F3-O4T and beyond
The mentioned 3.3 is more an upgrade version for French forces, than a standard of Dassault.
Not sure which psot that was, but I guess it's about the Rafale news thread in the militarypotos forum and the member Olybrious that runs the thread.
