Do you think IAF heads are stupid? there was another contender offer...
Explain precisely please, apart from a blog citing anonymous sources about price.
You realize this is a desperate attempt to break a done deal without credible offer, do you?
I agree with your point, irst lacking on OSF IT its for the french Rafalese is lame. What i intended to say is that it was less urgent with ddm ng.
I have no news about indian rafales customization, speaking about it is like talking to a wall here...
Interesting, as i said on another forum, i wrote the article (and largely had to cut parts from it). I tried to write it for its purpose, a popoularization blog. I also wrote that a irst is lacking in the article and would be complementary. Everyone agree that a real IRST is lacking on FRENCH...
Not PR, sincerely i had to cut parts in the article about the sensor and its consequences. Remeber it is published in a popularization blog, original text was more... Neutral.
THe technical negociations are very close to be finished. The government agreement is done and waits for signature of tecnical contacts. The timing will be given by india .
So, don't expect breaking news, Dassault's politics is to let the client speak.
Just a few hints on prices quoted. They are fantasies. Technical contracts are closed to be wrapped.
India estimated both acquisition costs and owner lifetime cost. Very precisely, including indian updates costs...
when is code of condut active exactly?
And no 100% cost is false (checked in France aswell as shiv aroor did in india)
@jiki last time i talked with a Dassault executive (about ten days ago) they still hoped a sigature before elections
