For some exercises, They are not IAF Rafales

IAF has set its mind on rafale after decade long evaluation. So new govt had few options other than this niche buy. If uprated kaveri comes from offsets as alternative engine for tejas mk2 deal is. cost effecive. But GOI can't break the bank by spending 30 billions on 120 plus Rafales, like...

Present govt is also backing HAL to build 300 odd tejas variants, A new state of the art production line is opened for tejas in bangalore with 12 per yr capacity. And they are contemplating setting up another tejas production line in coimbatore,Sulur TN. plus 40 more new Su 30 mkis in another...

May be, But air forces that use su 30 mki, rate it good enough for the job it does, in the environment they operate. That's what I meant. Rafale has the edge in few challenging missions. Su 30 mki has its own strengths to rely on.

Raga is depending on guys who cant use smartphones to know the truth ,to sell his crap on reliance Dassault issue. He thinks 80℅ of indians wont know the truth, "that reliance makes zero components for IAF rafale & only making components for Dassault civilian plane falcon", He thinks 80℅ won't...

To put it more precisely, The Cong govt was never serious about upgrading HAL Assembly line tech, & Employing better HRD practices & outsourcing, that will help HAL to match Dassault man hour. Cong was just window dressing the L1 concept in MMRCA, with no real motivation to bring HAL upto...

If at all JPC is to be formed to investigate rafale deal,.. First thing to look into is to the rejection of proposed Snecma GTRE jv for kaveri, by a committe headed by Air Marshal Matheswaran by Cong govt, This happened just months after Rafale was declared winner in MMRCA. Now after ten...

You dont even know that it is DRDO Which is consulted first in offsets in any deal. So Safran asking DRDO is no charity, it is pretty much the norm.

You hv all these ,fancy "ideas" about believing aeronautical genius Air Marshal Matheswaran idea-"tejas Program needs to be closed" & No use in pursuing Snecma-gtre GTRE kaveri jv. IAF has now committed to mote than 200 tejas & after evaluating Kaveri french said that it is mature enough...

NDA Renegotiated the deal for the prime reason of channeling offsets into useful kaveri upgradation process. UPA conducted sham negotiations on snecma kaveri jv, till the Rafael was declared a winner in MARCA, After that they appointed a stupid committee headed by that "aeronautical genius"...

Thre are no "another batch of 36 rafales" clause in govt to govt rafale deal between india & france

No product in international military aviation was produced in time, with the same asked for specs

http://idrw.org/rafale-is-the-best-deal-manohar-parrikar-rejects-swaraj-abhiyan-charge/#more-112729 It is not for nothing that guys like Arvind kejriwal, prasanth Bhusan, Yogendr Yadhav are funded via FCRA NGO route, Arvind kejriwal proved his usefulness to anti india foreign sources by...

If that was the issue holding up, then GTRE wouldn't have entered into deep negotiation with SNECMA for years over the same JV until the moment Rafale was declared winner of MMRCA. The moment UPA decalred rafale as winner French -GTRE negotiation fell through, All the french was expected to do...

Another interesting quote from dassault CEO is that IAF is going to phase out mirage-2000s, so what is happening to the 40 million dollar per fighter upgrade, which is a pure rip off, if the mirages are phased out and rafale take their niche segment this deal looks a bit more rational.

Without JV for kaveri jet engine, this is not even a circus!!!

1. IAF rafales costing the same as French airforce rafales, in fly away cost , even though IAF rafales are F3 plus standard , while french airforce rafales are of lower standards, 2. The 2 billion for IAF specific modification enables us to field indian & israeli weapons, like Python, derby...

http://www.openthemagazine.com/article/india/indian-arms-dealers-the-defence-dynasty I too share your concerns regarding the falling credibility of defence personnel, However even without putting on a G suit manohar parrikar's chpoice of tejas mk1A combo was summarily endorsed by present...

Ask Manohar Parrikar when will tejas fire Derby missile & he will tell you!!! Surprisingly french are standardizing mostly on rafales for future!!! not needing variety!! Surprisingly (uncomfortably for some!!) it seems manohar PArrikar knows something more about tejas which was later endorsed...

IAF is now asking for MMRCA type plane , which again is a hogwash, because no MMRCA has enough range to fly beyond Tibet & post a significant threat to chinese strategic target, & for Pakistan tejas su-30 MKI combo itself is a huge overkill. So manohar parrikar-modi duo has wisely decided to...
