Let's make a tentative correlation. The contract is signed before March WITH the extension. As such, the planes in the extension become possibly built in France. ( Not all, of course but as per need. ) Thus production of the IAF's Rafales can begin immediately and deliveries begin in summer...

Interesting, the Pakistani guy thinks Rafale is <i><b>shyt</b></i> and the Chinese one thinks it's useless? If I was Indian, I'd take it as proof that they are more worried than they let on and induct it ASAP? Usually when your competitors diss' your product, it's because they have no better...

Everyone should keep calm, especially Indians! The Rafale is coming to the IAF! What was lost in translation apparently is TOT? I mean, apart from Dassault qualms over HAL's abilities which neither the slower than expected SU_30 production ramp-up nor the LCA dispelled, the rest of TOT is darn...

I honestly don't see Kuwait or Qatar going for the Thunder really! But there is a market out there for it. Many African nations could field it. Similarly, less aligned South American ones would find it enough? Take out the countries faced with modern medium and higher war possibilities and...

I can't wait to get the new look on, the old one was amongst the best online visually? There does seem to be much more services though which for writing especially should be great. Someone mentioned the likes having gotten lost which I noticed in my profile! It is much more sad for older more...

Indian MMRCA Bill Balloons To $17 Billion Good day all, Tay.

Sancho said :"And still you claimed about a relation to an M2K production line isn't it? But there isn't and HAL is not building the Rafale from scratch, but mainly from components delivered to them, just as they upgrade M2K from components too. Also in both cases Dassault provides their...

Hello man, I have time for a short answer before work so : A- M2K upgrade is components+refurb not new built from scratch as Rafale by the end of MMRCA procurement -do persist on not understanding the difference, I'm done trying to explain. B- You do not open links which is your problem. Those...

AH Got it but had to split a link. It seems that it may be forbidden to link to a given Indian Forum. If at all possible, I'd like to know why, where the explanation can be found etc. Sorry to have bent the rules if so, Tay.

Sorry Sancho, I had an answer but there seems to be a problem with my posting it. I'll answer as soon as it's fixed! Tay. Hi again Sancho! I'm going to try to answer you again but I may sound harsh. I take part of the blame if I sound flippant at times because as I have said, I am not into the...

Hey Sancho! Thanks for that comprehensive answer, mate! You are right on the too French sided part but it just had to be as it was the premise of the "exercise". Abingdonboy had asked me for my "view on M_MMRca according to my Flag!!" in the ATLC video thread? So that yes, I was answering...

Hello all! I was asked in another thread by Abingdonboy for a general opinion on the Rafale's M-MRCA selection and am now answering. I understand the thread here is also in full swing but it is the proper place to answer our mate's query and heck, it might serve as a refresher for the new...

Death.By.Chocolate; You are 100% right man ... albeit only in the US, of course! Because while applicable to international exercises and it was so in ATLC as the soft deck equaled draws by disqualification, I can assure you that it is not the case in all other AFs, check ...

Gentlemen, please, let's get our facts straight here, calmly ;) In order, the ATLC is an important exercise that is aimed at - training pilots to become leaders of patrols/flights. Most people did not know WHEN the event took place as even the press ( and the video's opening text ) reported...

Hello guys! I'll be quick for IRL calls for lots of work today but quickly before I can come back at length : The comments on the pilot's audible efforts already made cover it well. And yes the PAF has an excellent record for training especially in dogfight/BFM. Their presence including ATLC...

As promised, here is the translation of the text that opens the video : The Aviation fans&#8217; Portal In the U.A.E., in 2009. an important training exercise for air forces called ATLC took place. Advanced Tactical Leadership Course 2009 More than a simple exercise, that event was seen as a...

Simple repost from a video leaked in France yesterday and that shows the exercises from the AL-Dhafra 2009 ( sorry for error in the title ) exercise that was discussed at length then. It's real as evidenced by the grainy definition. This is where the pics we got at the time where extracted from...

More adverting than real info as the potential buyers are not named : Many countries express interest in JF-17 Thunder - People's Daily Online It still has Wing Commander Afzal of the 16th Sq interviewed briefly. Good day all, Tay.

Indeed agreed with Survivor, a very nice tool! Thanks W.11 Good day all, Tay.

"so just a blog,.just ignore it" I am sorry to come back to this posted by Haider on the previous and first page but for anyone interested in US politics, these think tanks are essential. They have become a permanent fixture of the political landscape over there since the Rand was created...
