The French Fighter Jet That Nobody Wants -

[vk17]

India should wait for another 4-5 years to have series production of PAK-FA. Invest more in it from now only by incorparating even better technology from different countries as it did in SU 30 MKI.

It will be called "Gold Plated Rafael" if we buy it at such a high cost.

World is vying for stealth 5th Gen aircraft and by the time we have Rafael delivered to us, most of the countries will have 5th Gen JSF and China and Pakistan will have Russian made Mig 1.44 now renamed as J-XXX project of China.

Only India bought Rafale other than useless nations like Egypt/Qatar. What grand failure.

• 3.7.1 Belgium
• 3.7.2 Brazil

• 3.7.4 Kuwait
• 3.7.5 Libya
• 3.7.6 Singapore
• 3.7.7 Other bids

it is true the French have difficulty competing in the arms market. Rafael is no exception due it's high price and operational costs. This makes it a weapon system for nations with really deep pockets. Not many of those around.
