So according to you - the americans, russians, chinese are all bonkers to want TVC in their latest fighters ( f 22, pak fa, j 20 ). Also the iaf must be crazy as well as to want it on the rafale and su 30mki and amca and fgfa......

there seems to be some confusion about another 80 fighters- seems that the iaf now wants 200 mrca but the mod doesnt have enough money for 200 rafales so they are looking for a cheaper machine to fill in numbers. If this is indeed the case then the mig 35 seems perfect - damn cheap but has...

Between the shortlisted candidates the only criteria was cost - but to get to the shortlist the only criteria was performance.

Come on mate, lets not ruin this thread - we've waited years for this - the debate on which is better will go on long after this day.

Not a bluff - too many channels reporting it for it to be a bluff.

economic times says rafale bid was significantly lower than eft bid - seems eft was never in it - would post the source but am using mobile.

I think its confirmed - spark posted it back on indiandefence - thats good enough for me.

rafale has won - congrats to dassault and all the rafale supporters here - heck to all indians ( even if they supported eft, at least we are getting an amazing machine)

Not my personal choice, but still a very capable machine , definitely a huge boost to iaf war fighting capabilities.

of course deal wont be signed by march - the whole process of contract negotiations is left and then the deal will have to be cleared by finance ministry - expect signing by mid to end of this year. But for negotiations to even begin they need to announce the L1.

What is this?? I didn't know the chinese were working on another twin engined 5th gen fighter - thought it would be a single engined cheaper version of the J 20 mainly built for numbers and exports like the F 35. Are any details available??

economically - I would say 2030-2035 (GDP wise). Militarily - depends on whether the chinese actually want to or not - As in do they want to replace the US as the global watchdog or be strong enough just to protect their interests and have no inclination towards global domination

if we want another bmd then we should buy it from a country which we can relatively trust - and the USA is definitely not on that list. we should go for the S400 - but the russians have refused to sell that system to anyone until their own demands are met - meaning we would have to wait until...

He means the HQ 19 - chinese version of s400( joint venture with russia )

Dollar millionaire......

we have asked for ToT for the Javelin ATGM- lets see if that deal goes through. If it does It will be a big boost for India-US relations

thats because asians account for 85% of dubai's population - so statistically speaking there is no problem.

So what's gonna replace the HARM - it a 30 year old missile.....

Wow -All I can say is this

The only A2G munitions the EFT is CURRENTLY cleared to carry is the paveway 2/3 - it was supposed to get the ALARM or HARM anti radiation missile but till now it has not been cleared for either - maybe in future it will get the ARMIGER - but thats difficult considering the development has...
