Why do you forget to mention the opposite view, the diplomat that said to jorno read the RFP, there is nothing like full liability of OEM? CNC (indian gov.)do not trust HAL. As simple as that (be they right or wrong is another debate). So they want to ADD a clause that wasn't in RFP about liability.

Last round of negociations starting in incoming days ("off" information). Every side will try pressuring the other. Common practice.

Yes affirmative indication from MBDA. That is what surprised me, they are usually very shy. Eg i had to delete some figures(although they were only deductions from public source) when i wrote an article on DDM-NG.

Ok quite surprisingly i had an answer from MBDA. They are not involved in Akash which is 100% indian project. And yes MBDA is codevelopping Maitri. There is also a 8Kms range ATGW project. No idea about an Akash 2.

Smthing like that?

Hmmm... Sancho thin i told you so few weeks ago, no?

Forgot to say that a HMS is also being integrated on Dassault self financing

No idea about it and Dassault definitely will not communicate about it, as they consider it is the client's privilege. Only things i cans say is that the opening of two new hard points and SATCOM integration are self financed (not by french state) i wouldn't say so. Media depend on their...

Stalled, but issue is to be solved very quickly imho.

OK. Latest insider news. HAL, MOD and DA have agreement. Point is CNC is not (be it right or not) confident on HAL and is the one asking for Rafale team (remember, Dassault is only 30% of it in terms of value) 100% liability. And NO it was not in RFP. Believe me or not.

Rubis class is outdated and on the verge of replacement by Suffren class.

Because we have ICBM on 4 nuke submarines + smaller nukes on planes The idea is NOT to use nuclear weapons.

Twp projects are studied in France, one from MBDA, the other from ONERA. MBDA would be a trisonic+ stealth missile derived from Perseus. The other is Mach 5-7 but not stealthy.

All this is right, except that F-22 and F-35 aren't predecessors in integrated avionics architecture (used in biz jets before) neither the only ones to use it. http://www.sbmac.org.br/dincon/2011/files/articles/071.pdf For example even Mirage 2000-9 uses modular integrated architecture ...

Reliance has never been meant to be prime constructor in India, but just to assure a second supply chain.

In a dream world, HAL has started constructing facilities and accepted Dassault to visit them before accerpting PART of liability. They also agreed that some Dassault personnel will stay in India for a very long time so as to insure HAL (and the rest of supply chain) respect Dassault quality...
