I second that. MRCA 2 has been fabricated for a repeat purchase of Rafale but in a manner to bargain better since this time number is going to be very big.

The only way India can ever fight and win from China is by building a military which can fight both capability based war and an attrition-based war put together. Building a capability-based military may sound easier as capability can be bought from outside. However, in realistic terms, higher...

Gripen E is not going to get certified anytime before 2024. So it is disqualified on one more ground. In fact, it does not have any chance at all since Tejas MK-2 has been given go-ahead already. US fighters. If US gives something which NSA+PMO dearly wants then there is the slightest hope of...

How could IAF+MOD have selected either of F-16 and Gripen E when Trump was unwilling to have F-16s manufactured in India (in order to protect more jobs for American promise) let alone meeting 100% ToT requirement and Gripen E had not even made first flight until June 2017 let alone any...

Given the variables, it is extremely hard to get a base price of these fighter jets. Their official websites give absolutely no clue not even ROSOBORONEXPORT. The second method is diving total program cost by total numbers produced. However, audit reports that I found for program costs are very...

Maybe their experience with nEURON is something we will be provided with. In my opinion entire, MRCA 2 has been fabricated as a bargaining tool.

That's asking French to help us make AMCA then only we will be Rafales. Good move.

IF we try to match PLAAF by meeting requirements through imports we are sure to leave no money to invest in developing indigenous weapons considering we don't go bankrupt first. If GOI is buying Rafales only for meeting numbers and not using it as a mask for some ToT in critical category. If we...

Why just DRDO what about rest?........... Deport half of the country? Still, DRDO has given BMD, BVRAAM, 4.5 gen fighter, BMs, SAMs, SSBNs, etc. How many in private sector can develop such weapon systems with meagre funding? Have you compared the budget of weapon systems that DRDO has...

And it gets ridiculously disgusting to mention that entire worth of Dassault is only ~ 9 billion USD. I wonder how people see a logic in not erecting a Dassault kind of company with 9 billion USD thereby guaranteeing future of Combat Aviation in India. But waste 30 billion USD on 110 fighters...

Against Pakistan, we already have enough. Against China, we will never have until we develop our MIC in parity with Chinese. Developing a MIC needs a long gestation period with a constant flow of money. Spending 30 billion on 115 jet is contrary to that cause. One example i will to quote...

Between announcements and cancellations, the Tejas projects is moving at accelerated pace. Then there is a possibility of getting a 100 Kn Kaveri engine among a host of other things which was secured with the purchase of just 36 Rafale. Sanctions for both MK-1A and MK-2 has been given in last 4...

Thanks for falling in line.........

Actually, that HAIL MODI was for giving sanctions for MK-2 in such a way that supplies of it's foreign made parts remains unaffected. Understanding this is certainly not everyone's cup of tea.... :facepalm:

After the cancellation of SEF and go ahead given for MK-2. I won't even call it a conspiracy theory. Modi is going the Chanakyan way and hints are overwhelming. If Rafale deal is any yardstick then surely 15 billion is too small an amount to buy 110 twin-engine jets. And GOI has already given...
