awesome pics there... it seems that RAFALE need not do any PR at all for any future deals. Indian fanboys have spearheaded that campaign.. As for technicality, the parameter list of IAF will be kinda standard for the next decade :D :D

A fighter that does what it was developed for, in the most advanced ways doesn't really need PR right? All that is left is, to distinguish facts and myth (underpowered, fighter bomber :blah:).

Thales: very important contract to upgrade the Rafale

The DGA has notified Thales first installment of a contract of 150 million euros for the development of target designation pod next generation.

Discreetly, the Directorate General of Armaments notified late December Thales a major contract for the modernization of the Rafale, it was learned from sources. This is a first tranche of € 55 million contract to develop the next generation of one of the key equipment of the combat aircraft: the target designation pod, also called "PDL NG" , for "laser designation pod next generation" .
Expected for several months, this segment represents about a third of the estimated development since the DGA should normally notify the end of the year an additional $ 115 million.
If we add the following making 45 copies planned, the total commitment will approach 450 million in favor of the defense electronics group. Deliveries are planned between 2018 and 2022.
Damocles, the name of the platform in use today, is used to guide bombs via a laser beam and works in any weather . It equips the Mirage 2000, the Rafale or the Sukhoi 30.
Modernization is a key step to export the Rafale. In 2011, when negotiations with the United Arab Emirates in full swing, France sought to finance part of the development of the next generation of Abu Dhabi which leaned heavily on the Sniper, equipment competitor Lockheed Martin.

Straight from the horse's mouth (Indian fincance minister):

Barber: A couple of [other] things, if I may. The competition between Rafale and Eurofighter is something which has attracted a lot of interest here. Can India press ahead with the very expensive purchase of Rafale and, at the same time, press ahead with your deficit reduction programme, because it is a very expensive purchase indeed. Are you fully committed to it?
Chidambaram: Rafale was selected after a transparent bidding and evaluation procedure. Now, it’s well within the right of the competitor to say that Rafale is too expensive, that the other product is more competitive and better priced, but how can I second guess a transparent procedure, a transparent bidding and evaluation procedure, which finally threw up the results that Rafale will be selected? We have had the defence experts in this. We have had the air force involved in it. We’ve had civilian analysts involved in the process. And how can we find fault with the conclusion? If they find that Rafale at that price is the best product, it is the best product. …

Once again proves to the naysayers- the Indian Finance Minister no less is saying there is NO problems with the Rafale selection!

There can hardly be any doubt about that Rafale comes to India with all the recent official remarks, the question is only when and in what configuration.

What do you mean wrt configuration? Do you mean the exact version the IAF gets? Or C/B/M?

Not only that, but what other things might be added to the general F3+ version (HMS, IRST, Meteor, Litening LDP, CFTs), or what weapon pack we might choose (Scalp, SPICE, Pilum, SPIKE NLOS).
The baseline fighter will be the same as the French got, but there could be at least some customisations according to our needs.

Serval's eyes shine, even in daylight
Increased emergency strikes, the first missions of Rafale with Reco-NG pod occurred in the last 72 hours northeast Mali. This is the fourth stage on which the couple operates in three years. It also confirms, if need be, the important information needed for this theater, which has never seen before mobilization, on any other theater in modern French history.
Indeed, Serval absorbs half of ATL-2 airworthy, but also two F1CR Mirage, Rafale capable missions Reco-NG, and special abilities of human intelligence on the ground (1). The squadron Poitou-loading process and also paste the information to end targeting. In addition, two drones have been engaged Snowy Niamey (more than 50% of the fleet). As means of special forces, these devices can provide both the information that the cooperative targetting the benefit of effectors available in this area.
