Does the sarcasm mean no credit to India because Israel is present? May be Britain should get all the credit in the development of Concord, Jaguar and the even Channel Tunnel because it was the British who did everything and France takes all the credit!
Its a JV with IAI, Just like other countries like France and britian had JV to make the Concord or Jaguar we have JVs and this does not mean France did nothing because it was a silent partner, Same way the DRDO developed the signal processing and software for tracking high speed ballistic missile targets. The radar uses mostly Indian designed and manufactured components like its critical high power L Band Transmit and Receive modules plus the other enabling technologies necessary for active phased array radars. Israel is has better processor technology which enables our designs to work faster and take on more complicated software prediction models as well as process more targets.
Indians look more like burnt french fries.No they look more like burnt french fries
It really isn't the same as a JV between advanced European countries, Israel already has tech more advanced than this which is selling this other to India. India requires all major defence suppliers to form a JV to apply offsets through its venture. It is the law. India is not helping Israel develop anything with this radar as India is the client and Israel is the supplier. That is why 70% of Indian arms are imported.
Your country is not that advanced that we need light years to catch up, we do everything you do. Most of your systems on your ships like the Mistral class are imported from either UK,US,Finland,Germany or Italy and you talk of our indigenousiation of Indian ships as if France is perfect. Everything from the propulsion to the censors have a huge foreign input. Lot of your other military equipments have foreign contents as well. If this was India we would be barging thats the diffrence.
Well the Mistral class is full of foreign crud, gald you did not argue against that. Indias technology is not up to Chinas? Does that mean China is way behind France? Did you notice China is the 2nd largest economy in the world? Your technology is not way advanced than ours, you just have more scientific sharing with fellow NATO countries which makes it easier to make stuff, where as India and China need to claw their way by themselves and yet our stuff is not way backward.
Mistral is all French minus some COTS stuff anyone can buy. We wouldn't be able to export it and ToT to Russia if it wasn't.
The Arjun is superior to Chinese tanks because half of its stuff is from Europe.
The Arjun Mk1 is little more than a Leo 2A4 which is a 20 year old tank. The Leclerc and Merkava Mk IV would roll over that like France and Israeli forces roll over Arabs. The Arjun Mk 2 is going to be a fusion of Leclerc and Merkava components.

LMAO The Mistrals engine is from Finland, the main Radar is from UK the Main turret gun is italian. Thats as ingenious as any Indian ship! I wonder how the DGA calculates its expenses because its sure as hell you have a lot of parts from other countries in your weapons and not to mention huge JVs on almost everything!!
Arjun will blow away T-96 and the Lecher wont be any different the Arjun has mostly Israeli DRDO stuff just like most of the French equipments do with JVs and last i checked The Leclerc engine is from? You guessed it right Finland. Also Israel is not in Europe if you did not know that, so stop talking for Israel. The DRDO will even have its own engine on Arjun soon but the Lechers engine is foreign so big deal there.
Why does France always need JVs this time with UAE!! That explains everything, are they not arabs?
LMAO The engines are produced in Lorient, the company just happened to be bought out by Finland's Wartsila France SAS subsidary. The main radar is the MRR3D-NG MMR built by Thales and tied into the SENIT-9 C4I command system, also built by Thales. The only guns on it are 20mm Giat auto-cannons made by Nexter of France. The missile launchers are Sadral made by MBDA France, former Matra. DGA calculates workshare made in France.
We don't make Rafael... that is an Israeli defence company... try again.
Because Rafale in its current programme development is good enough for France. UAE wants more so we give them more.
What does IAI stand for?
.
Wärtsilä Vasa engines are a line of maritime and power plant engines, produced by the Wärtsilä corporation at their factories in Vaasa, Finland, nice try to wiggle out. Fact.
What is the name of the fighter you want to sell to India? I heard a lot depends on its future whether India buys it or not!
.
Owned by Wartsila, made in France.
No Mistral is fitted with 30mm Breda-Mauser.
You said gun mount, the mount is a cheap French stick. We do use .50 cal Brownings.
Certainly not the MAIN radar. It is a cheap COTS (commercial off the shelf) Nav radar used in many commercial vessels.
North East France from Usinor now known as ArcelorMittal. So you have a few Browning machine guns and COTS Nav radar bought outside the country... oh no! Mistral is foreign made!!
Rafale... not Rafael
UAE doesn't care if the cost is not justified for France. They buy what they want.
