They might get chosen , but as of today Navy hasn't asked for the bids yet. Only once the Navy completes it's evaluation can they ask the competitors to submit the bids.
By the way I can tell you this for now , Rafale M has show capability to operate with a greater payload than F18 from STOBAR...
Lol, tell me this, give me an example of a sub 30 ton Armoured vehicle which can take 1 hit from a 76+mm HE shell and survive.
If not, then no this light tank is an infantry support equipment.
The T72 and T90 will take on any Chinese tank because they can take a hit and survive.
The last approval for Naval aviation came for 6 P8I and 10 Ka31s. I am not seeing anything signed yet.
This Fighter deal is newer, if at all it will happen, it will take time.
Russian FADEC is the main issue. Therefore no more Mig29K or even additional Mig29 for IAF will ever come. Su33 development is stalled for more than a decade now.
For the time being , everything except the engines of Mig29K is being worked upon. Indian Mission computers are already under...

The original design was for a Large Air Defence Cruiser(Like the Soviets used) which got enlarged and renamed to IAC 1. Its designed to use Mig29K and Su33 only.
Do you have problems in reading?
Okay let me teach you today in simple words. Bring me example of an operational IFV/Light Tank which has a front arc protection against 30mm rounds and weighs less than 35 tons.
When you talk about a tank it should be able to withstand the first hit on its...
Are you an idiot? A frontal arc protection against 30mm Armour piercing rounds will require the tank to be 30+ tons alone.
Are you saying at 25 tons, this light tank will defeat 105mm rounds ?
For tank to tank battles Army will have to depend on T72 CIA MK2 and T90S only. This light tank will...
