Hello Stephen. I'd like to give more precise infos, but i just do not have them. The "combat",laser is meant afaik only to be *Talios pod one (telemetry etc.) For the moment

"off" information : Dassault emplyees are still working a building chain in India, as if nothing happened.

I can't elaborate more, simply because i don't know more. But afaik your guess is correct.

I'll do my best to get answers. As you guess it will be difficult, DA is quite a secrecive company and usually consider that communication is client's privilege. What i can say is Safran (maker of M-88) has scheduled a joint venture with an indian company (probably Bharat Forge). About cost, it...

Dont expect news before end of july. I'll try to get some hearsays at le Bourget.

Absolutely nothing except on "we are confident"... Frustrating. Apart from that, seen Egyptians pilots under formation.

Sorry friends seems there is an internal politics problem in India and i wouldn't like to interfere... Specially at @sancho

@sancho sry was writing two pieces, one for Defesanet about Serpentex exercise and on for our blog about Paris Air and Space museum. So many sales also it was hard to follow. Generally speaking, french are very slightly proud of success (even if some criticise Qatar) and mostly indifferent. On...

About the costs i have the info. HAL (and subcontractors) cost would be 2.7* cost of Dassault (and subcontractors) produced. About "generation" term it would mean a quantum leap, which F-35 isn't doing.

Hmmmmm

Let me guess : HAL industrila base isn't able to absorb ToT without huge cost? Maybe offsets could be injected in HAL?

@stephen, please do not call me sir, we are very shy here with our names/titles. Yves will be good enough ;)

Dassault comm dpt is on OFF, so i do not have any comment, but you can see smiles, smileys etc. I know someone who was hired by DA and she is scheduled to go to india in April, planning didn't change. That sort of things.

originally it means the mass is said. Became vernacular to said things are completed.

Ite Missa Est

Same as Rafale in the UAE...

Lets be frnk. full inspection of AL 31 is about 500 hours. M88-2 is around 4000 hours (and in fact is not needed due to ontime diagnosis system)

no

Considering there is an anemometric perch front nose, i'd bet on RDY3 (aund a different one from Moroccans). No clue.

LOL signed 18th of march while Parrikar says report expected in march if not february...
