Please read my entire post, please, the various costs of the Rafale line etc would have ended up being close to 35 !!!Read the Ares link. They say 12 billion dollars. Not 35

Precisely, its common senseHa.........ha.
That is why Dassault doesn't want to take the responsability of the Rafales produced by HAL.
What will India do if the deal isn't signed ?
Buy more MKIs ? Tejas ? Focus on T-50?
Unnamed source?? hahaha, that is Dassault trying to keep Rafale still in play. The information from unnamed sources is not reliable till confirmed by official sourcesMMRCA Deal: Dassault Confirming to Indian RFP Conditions
French aircraft manufacturer, Dassault is confirming to conditions laid down in the original request for proposals (RFP) in its conduct of negotiations with the contract negotiations committee (CNC) of the Indian MoD over the sale of 126 Rafale fighters. A senior Indian Air Force (IAF) officer in the know of things told Defenseworld.net Delhi correspondent that negotiations have so far been within the boundaries of the RFP. The aircraft being discussed to be purchased is what was tested by the IAF and not a later model as reported by various media. The officer who did not wish to be quoted said that a good part of the negotiations have been completed including a work-share agreement with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. Responding to a question, the official explained that the delay in conclusion of the contract was due to "the CNC being sensitised about issues by various external sources, including Dassault's competitors, and the former seeking clarifications for them". A fresh target time frame for the completion of the negotiations has been set for March-April of 2015. Various reports in the past have noted that Dassault was deviating from the RFP conditions and that the MoD had informed the French company to 'stick to the RFP'.
since when,I see Su-30 production continuing at 15 per year
But that is their plan, isn't it? (About getting PAK-FA instead of FGFA for now)@sgarg
PAK-Fa is Russian and FGFA is Indian version i think.
So i am talking about buying Russian version in place of Rafale.
Let Indian version FGFA take its own time.
But yes as u said setting up facility is a big challenge.
According to this news from 2016 they ll wtart rolling out the fighters.
And i m just telling all these just based on this news.
I m not allowed to post link.
just type this in google search tool.
U ll get first link of some site rbth.
"First series of T-50 aircrafts has entered the Russian airforce"
Search this and let me know wer i m goin wrong.
LCA is not even 1 tenth of a fighter jet compared to rafale . I would rather have one Rafale then 4 LCA as LCA is at best mig 21++.All Congressi deals are mired in corruption. MMRCA is not the only one. However corruption that involves foreign suppliers is very difficult to prosecute. The reason is obvious: Indian govt. authority does not run over foreign companies and foreign banks.
While Pilatus contract is under execution and will continue; Rafale is practically dead. The added problem is Govt will have to cancel the tender rather than call L2 for negotiations. Cancelling the tender is the only viable option.
Cancelling tenders is a bad precedent of course, and will impact future acquisitions. However there is no option. The Govt will have to place emphasis on local manufacturing which will definitely put heavy focus on LCA Tejas. IAF cannot sail against the wind too long. The Chiefs of DRDO and HAL are replaced. The next in line is IAF.
