    I have a vague suspicion that the Modi government will definitely go for more Rafale and I really don't have any objections other than the fact that the TOT has to be ironclad and delivered.

    So you wish to defend an attempted physical break in at a Dassault facility where sensitive data that if stolen would cause severe diplomatic issues by drawing a parallel with cyber espionage/theft?? Maybe you might also wish to justify that stupid statement of your ex President Hollande who...

    I am talking about the Brahmos NG.... I would think that India specific modifications would factor in the integration of the Brahmos NG in the future. . Safran designed Kaveri with an M88 core. The paperwork has been waiting on GoI to sign off on it for almost a year. It was decided they...

    @ Armand2REP - was just wondering will Dassault allow integration of Brahmos and if yes would they share the source code or do the patch themselves instead? Secondly, why in the world is Safran not cooperating with the Kaveri project as was mandated in the offset clause??

    MMRCA was to provide us the framework and tech to develop AMCA as far as secondary motives go!! Dassault was to help us sort out Kaveri and when the MMRCA deal was being finalised they played along and when Rafale was announced the L1 suddenly Dassault / Snecma laid the condition that the core...
