Know Your 'Rafale'

[BON PLAN]

Rafale maintenance will be expensive too which is the same case with Mirage 2k. But we will keep a small batch of them.

Compare the cost to the availability rate and you will suddenly find it less costly.

These are words of French defence minister Florence Parley during the 33rd jet reception ceremony.

I can't agree more. Members here would be more happy then France if any such deal happens today.

How much is Dassault charging for this?

 

[BON PLAN]

How much is Dassault charging for this?

I think nothing more. It was part of the GtoG initial deal.

 

[Chinmoy]

How much is Dassault charging for this?

1.3 Bn Euros.

This is under India specific enhancement.

With a lot other goodies.....

 

[Dark Sorrow]

With a lot other goodies.....

Care to elaborate on that.

 

[Chinmoy]

Care to elaborate on that.

India specific enhancement includes cold start at high altitude after overnight stay. Weapon and sensor integration and software enhancement capability to integrate Indian origin weapon and sensor package.

 

[BON PLAN]

Care to elaborate on that.

as said by @Chinmoy :
Cold and high altitude start, new weapons integration, low band jammer to complete Spectra suite, towed array integration, some more radar and Spectra modes.
I don't know if a targeting helmet was charge to India.

India Still Lacking Five-Six 4.5-Generation Fighter Jet Squadrons, Says IAF Chief: Report

Air Chief Marshall VR Chaudhari said that the Indian Air Force is falling short of five-six fighter jet squadrons to meet immediate needs In...

www.indiandefensenews.in

Why is the Indian Airforce Chief raising the issue of fighter jets (which will have a capital cost of $15 to 20 billion) when the current war in Ukraine has proven that the ruling weapons from sky are armed drones, ground to air missiles carried by the drones and unsophisticated and very cheap flying bombs which target enemy on the ground without endangering the pilot or an expensive plane?

The focus has to be shifted away into UCAVs, Bayarktar type of unmanned flying weapons and precision missiles carried by them. (Pakistan has already acquired Bayarktar 2 UAVs)

Already if the current western propaganda is to be believed then 2500 Russian tanks, 300 Russian fighter jets of various types have been destroyed by mostly drones, hand held missiles and UkraInian electrical power distribution infrastructure has been laid waste by the cheap Iranian made flying bombs.

If this is what is happening then the future of fighter jet type air warfare is bleak. The existing fighters will prove more than adequate in the Indian Subcontinent. Then why this bogey of 45 squadrons and 4.5 grade fighter jet is raised again and again.
