    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    So the purchase of 22 Rafale M and 4 Rafale D fighters for the Indian Navy is definitely happening. The MoD's Defence Acquisition Council cleared the purchase, along with the purchase of 3 more Scorpene subs to be built at MDL.

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions [Thread 2]

    Yes, they're in my opinion the best fighters in the world today. Also amongst the most beautiful (although my favorite will always remain the Mirage-2000) The combination of range, payload, weapons it carries, the RBE 2 AESA's capabilities, OSF, SPECTRA, the extremely ergonomic cockpit, excess...

    India to buy 26 Naval Rafales, 3 Scorpene submarines from France, deals likely to be announced during PM Modi's visit.

    an indigenous SSN design is what is in the works. I don't know if an indigenous SSK diesel sub design is in the works as yet. All I'm aware of is the P-75I SSK that the IN desperately wants for it's next submarine line.

    India to buy 26 Naval Rafales, 3 Scorpene submarines from France, deals likely to be announced during PM Modi's visit.

    Indigenous SSN design is already in the works. No need for the super expensive Barracuda. But common sense regarding merging the IAF's 114 MRFA with the IN's MRCBF is not a strong suit of the MoD and GoI. It is the most obvious choice to do but they won't do it. Instead the MRFA will continue...

    Multiple newspapers are reporting that there is a likelihood of a govt to govt deal being signed with Dassault for the Rafale M for the Indian Navy. Numbers could be between 24-30. Sadly no forward movement on the IAF's MRFA saga. Rafale jet deal likely during PM's France visit

    Simply the BEST aerial footage of the Tejas to date! Breathtaking and worth watching on a big screen. And this LA 5021 is the Tejas Mk1A prototype BTW. Basically a FOC Tejas Mk1 modified to become the Mk1A test bed.

    15 standing ovations, 79 applauses marked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address to the joint session of the US Congress.

    I don't think you've any idea of the amount of changes India has seen in the last 9 years since he came to power. It is a transformation that one could dream of but didn't expect to see with all of the corruption, bureaucracy, third grade politicians that India had. You can hate him as much as...
