Amazing how are we even comparing a SE non existing MK2 with Proven ME Rafale ? Just asking first someone said MK2 will be better than Mirage2k now i am hearing MK2 will be better than Rafale . Waaaw and i am sure our baboons would sell another snake oil saying MK2 would cost just half of Rafale so you can buy 2 in the price of 1 .
I know some holes in south block might have got tatti frozen now after seeing all their super mumbo jumbo calculations getting blow away with this UAE deal . But then we deserve what we get .
Call for global tender and take 10 years of non stop bla bla trails and then declare a winner and then arm twist them by tie up with local partner who man hours can't match the original OEMs level and force them to produce bulk of the order here .
After few years cancel the order and throw a piece meal 36 jet order and bla bla ISE specifications and then sit on follow on order quietly trying to see how much more you can arm twist the OEM seeing their desperation for follow on order
Thrown all unbelievable demands like revive our Jet engine program share all our technology give it to us free we won't invest $300 million you do it all and just give it to us on plate .
And now you sit and watch someone place order for 80 Jets without any one of those arm twisting rules and wonder what went wrong .
you let baboons run the show you will get such results
Bro, you have been putting out a series of posts filled with vitriol against the system. I concede some of your points are valid especially the OFB babus sitting on the blueprints of the original Bofors howitzer for decades without putting it to use.
An classic case of apathy.
But are you giving any suggestions for improvement. There is a lot that can be improved in the entire defence apparatus, no doubt.
But will simply only throwing shit on everything serve the purpose.
Do you believe that India should become technologically independent like the developed powers in Europe and N. America. Or should we not even consider the objective of self reliance in defence and follow countries like the U. A. E.
Simply by fast decision making and placing an very large order for foreign combat aircraft does the U. A. E become smarter than India.
Our objectives of trying to gain new technologies from the OEM in exchange while placing large orders for defence systems is not perse flawed.
Do you want people to believe that you believe in licking the boots of the whites.
So what ever we do is wrong and whatever they do is right.
If the Chinese had followed your strategy of sub servience to the whites then they could never have reached the position that they are in. Having a multi trillion economy next only to the US and a rapidly developing defence industry.
Now I personally believe that we should have placed an order for the full original 126 Rafales along with Dassault and its partners transferring some significant technologies to India. Nothing wrong with hoping for hot section turbofan engine technology being shared with India. Even Brazil while buying the Gripen insisted on some amount of technology transfer from Sweden.
Is the objective of advancing our indigenous capabilities in designing and manufacturing an high performance turbofan engine wrong?. The method followed to realise the objective may be changed or improved. But we cannot question the objectives when it is meant to benefit the nation.
If everything that has been done is fucking wrong then please list out your strategy for India to achieve technological independence. Because we may need to take help from others to achieve the goal quicker.
Many a times the developed countries try to impose their narrative on us and force us to follow the path suggested by them. The frenzied marketing of the F16 to India by the West is a prime example. Why in all wisdom should India buy a plane that the Pakistanis have been using for decades. They know the plane inside out and its strengths and weaknesses. They obviously would have shared their experiences with the Chinese, their master. No amount of marketing tricks like stating that the F16V version being offered to India is a totally new plane can change the fact that the PAF has mastered the USAF strategies for deployment of the aircraft. The flying envelope is almost the same whether it is the F16 Block 52 or the newer F16 Block V. Even if the avionics and the weapons are changed in the F16V the basic technology of the plane had been compromised when the PAF acquired it.
While not rejecting all of your arguments please also provide alternative courses of action which will help us achieve our national objectives. Being negative all the time is counter productive. It means that you have nothing valuable or constructive to offer to the people and the country.
French get upset 
forsee the delay in delivery if additional rafale ordered
