What's new

Sophistication of Indian tech is now sufficient to build a Rafale

So you think ToT is for assembly? Nothing more??

Of course not, it's for more but ToT can be provided in various fields, be it for the assembly of critical parts, be it for the production of non critical parts, be it for the design and development of modifications and varients and so on. Here are some examples of ToT to Brazil from the Gripen deal:

Since Saab can't provide radar or engine ToT, they have to provide other things, while ToT for radar, engines or electro optics, were crucial in our competition:

India Strategic: There is a rumour that the order for the 126 MRCA could be split into three to “make everybody happy” due to the link between defence and diplomacy. It does not make sense to us but if it is just a rumour, then it is best set aside. If you are looking at Transfer of Technology (ToT), and meaningful offset advantages, dividing the procurement into three, or even two, suppliers is not going to be practical.

ACM Major: All issues related to procurement are analysed in a comprehensive manner at various levels to ensure that the best option is exercised. Factors like technology offered, initial cost, life-cycle cost, transfer of technology, and offsets will play a crucial role in the final decision.

Dassault Aviation's senior vice president for military sales, JPHP Chabriol, said, ''When we talk about technology transfer, we mean full technology transfer and not in bits and pieces...

...Critically for India, the transfer-of-technology (T-o-T) would include that of a state-of-the-art Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar...

...The AESA radar T-o-T would also include transfer of software source code, according to Chabriol. This is a matter of great concern for India, or any country, that seeks T-o-T of sensitive equipment....

Industrial tie ups of the Rafale deal, which shows what a variety of ToT and offsets we are getting through the deal:

Given the importance of critical ToT in the deal, it wasn't suprising that the 2 options that promised the most in return in this field were shortlisted. Sadly we don't know what exactly the ToT offer of the EF consortium included.
 
You are living in a global world spearheaded by WTO type (160 countries as members) which dismantles such barriers...
Its all about mergers and acquisitions on a world scale.

Microsoft bought Nokia, and Nokia is software behemoth? Lol

Get your priorities right Mr. bright.


I am not able get your analogy,
please be considerate and give example in automobile, aircraft or defense industries.

Business is business, and the idea behind any business is to make money for yourself and the investors, and create a name for you and your company.

Business also means diversification = Tata manufactures cars, buses, weapons, salt, Tea and what not.
Why any particular business should be restricted to a single product?
 
Unfortunately India as a country, with its monkeys ministers at helm, lacked the a forward looking view for the maximun time of its existence.The fact that this country had produced HF-24 marut in the 60's and then let all its learning go down the drain is a shame of epic proportions. Though it may sound harsh, but our defence aerospace industry sadly has remained an assembler over the years- give them a blueprint an they shall churn out products.

Post LCA mk1 an 2, i hope the situation improves- The blueprints should originate from inside the country.
 
Indians doing the right thing demanding tot from both rafale and pak fa. Indian fighter market is huge worth 50 billion over next three decades.

The nation's that want this market will have to provide tot
