Samtel to supply IRST for IAF Rafales
..:: India Strategic ::. DefExpo 2012: Samtel to supply IRST for IAF Rafales
For FSO IT 's FSO TV max range is around 60km so no way it is going have 80km range so one can imagine it's for IRST channel basically
You lecture others about reality & facts...

i am posting from chinese defence forum
These outline the details, we can generally infer that this is an infrared-guided medium range air to air missiles, from its number F-80 speculated that the range may be 80 km. It should be installed to...
Those 2 things costs should be included within that deal itself .If extra costs is applied that would be minimal .

EXCLUSIVE: Specifically Why India's Rafale Deal Is Held Up
So, as I mentioned in my earlier post, sticking points in negotiations between Dassault Aviation and HAL remain the chief reason why a draft contract hasn't reached finality. There have been a few reports that point to general...
thats wrong
becoz it was a part of MMRCA deal & FSO had iRST channel but FSO IT lacks IRST channel but upgraded TV channel/laser range finder
& rafale pilots had HMD available to them but that was not their priority
we dont need to fund extra at all as it part of deal & also no big deal to...
naah !!
it's somewhat both's fault .
Dassault doesnt want to accept the gaurantee clause which says dasssault should give gaurantee on rafale's produced by HAL which is unaccpetable to them .
PLus meanwhile there were financial issues from our side during .
& thin skinned antony always shyed...
young or old it doesnt matter
what matter is quality work which indeed delivers for our armed forces & we induct those systems in right time
"just mere prototype building & testing a weapon & taking a half century time to test & induct those weapons wont do any help for us "
CHEERS
yeah!! you are correct
the MMRCA deal was kept in F3 + configuration in mind but it's our fault we have delayed signing the deal
Customization of rafale would happen for sure whichever version india gets whehter F3 or F3R like MKI version of Su30
F3R configuration have been created during...
time would tell how authentic this news would be in future
primarily it would be for commercial port basiis with hidden agenda for naval applications also

Simply frustrated of recent events & that frustration is clearly visible through their media
