Just like twitter stroma, this is the same thing, this same news is stormed together at a particular time every year, the same news came in 2019 that the deal is inked and again This BS.

The issue of transport aircrafts cannot be brushed under the carpet anymore by the goverment.

GoI is waking up now. IAF lacks a dedicated fleet of transport aircrafts. GoI just witnessed the role of transport aircrafts during the current Afghanistan fiasco.

A dozen or more C-17's will be sorely missed.

They are absolute force multipliers which we blissfully overlooked. We pinch pennies today and spend a billion tomorrow. Don't know if it is out of compulsion or clever planning by the powers that be.

What happens after ccs approval ?

Normally, CCS approval is the last stage in the procurement process within Govt....
Next is only Contract signing between IAF and Airbus-Tata which will be after a couple of months...

Let me talk about the conclusion, the abilities of the two are similar,
Turkey
240 F16 block52
40 F4Es (this one has been upgraded and can use aim120)
4 E737 early warning aircraft,
7 KC135 tankers
India
254 su30mki
40 M2000
50 mig29
There are a lot more, mig21
mig29 is basically useless, still at the level of 1980s, not upgraded
su30mki I don’t think I can beat F16block52, mainly because of radar and R77 issues.
4 A50
6 IL 78
For the Rafale fighter, we think the performance is similar to that of F16V.

Our defence procurement policy is pretty simple- keep all the plans and pipeline ready (rfi, RFQ,mou, technical evaluation, user trial.....) but place actual orders only once the enemy is at the door or a skirmish has taken place. People try to make too much sense out of it when there is none.

Emergency procurement during conflicts ensure there is no room for negotiations.

Phat commissions guaranteed.

I love you for the bullshit you spew every time you get unbanned.

2019 news was for documentation being prepared to be sent for CCS approval.

Maybe we should go easy on the commission part- all the other ministries are invariably corrupt- transport, WCD, finance, home, corporate affairs and so on. Why the onus of honesty only on MoD? Afterall the minister gotta have something for the party funds. Indians totally ignore commission and corruption everywhere else but are up in arms for a few million dollars in the alleged Rafale scam.

What about the gas tank, the radar? What about avionics?
