The new Brahmos NG variant will be much lighter. Let's see in a few years we will have a clearer picture. And rest is No . We have Sukhoi for the role from land based airbases and later AMCA or Teddy.

Wrong... HAL quoted 2.7 time manhours to build the jet. MKI built in India are expensive than Russian by 15-20 percent as we use several imported systems which are being replaced now. The difference between Indian and French manhours is due to the high level of automation in process by...

He is simply stating the fact. And it's a good thing we have UAE to pay for the development cost onwards.

There was a follow on order plan with same rate... Offcourse inflation will be added on but the sunk cost which we have already paid will benefit the end price.

Funds will always be an issue for this reason or that. Rafale maintenance will be expensive too which is the same case with Mirage 2k. But we will keep a small batch of them. Our Rafale are already F4 ready which is discussed ample times in the forum. They already outclass anything our enemy...

You do understand that would mean a new deal to negotiate and more time will be taken for that. While a follow on order will be easier but then again who knows how the top guns will play this rematch.

MRFA is just negotiation tactic... But I don't know if we should delay it much considering the dwindling air assets we have .

No it's not... The word Indoi from which India comes though was used in Greek literatures. The word Stan or Sthan ( turkmeni 'stan' , tajiki 'stan' Afghani 'stan' etc ) comes from Sanskrit and means land or place. The word Hindu is in use for more than 2000 years for now. May be it came...

They are doing fine this time surprising but good . The major delay happen with development cycle most of the time where ADA/DRDO etc are involved. Also IAF didn't ask Dassault for any additional changes in between like they do with HAL etc.

Basically Gripen limited by its size while Typhoon lacked serious avionics /AESA upgrade then. Infact condition of European Typhoons haven't improved much yet , with the export order though things have improved .

Ask in appropriate thread. Since you are a newbie, don't spread misinformation ask or read. Mig 29s played crucial role in providing air dominance with BVR missiles during Kargil which let Mirages /Mig 27s operate freely without fear of any Porky F-16s .

Wtf they are waiting for now... Just sign the follow up for atleast 18 to secure delivery line for us or are they waiting for another balakot galwan to do so.

We will get what we pay for.... Unless we ask for assembly line and to build 100-150+ jets here in India we won't get much. And by the time total tech will be transferred and run complete we may not even need it. Instead we can work out on small projects as part of offsets that include engine...

Yes but you brought Rafale into it.

Rafale had AESA in 2006-7 ? Only F-16/18 were offered with AESA then.

Mig 35 is essentially Mig 29 UPG larger Minus the Aesa radar it was available. First flight was in 2007 Indian Migs were upgraded to the same standard. IAF appreciate their Mig 29/UPG too.

The cost quoted was too high in comparison to the Su-30 we were already producing or starting to. We could have got 200+ Mig 35 instead and still save a lot.

Ok I can't comprehend 😂😂😂😂

Repeat as much as you want .. First tell me how will offset be delivered without TOT ? Safran Snecma Engine have to provide offset value by working out with GTRE now tell me what they are going to do. ( They aren't working out yet that's the problem for your info ) 😂😂😂😂

Here Pvt partners like Reliance will be transferred TOT to do the job . That's part of Dassault offset obligation. Same with Snecma they are supposed to provide the same to GTRE by working out with them. Remember it's HAL which is out of offset deal for assembling other companies like GTRE...
