Exactly, and with rife rumours of taking the optional aircraft too, its going to be a mighty $ 10 billion! Offsetting requirements have added a new dimension to the arms deals, of today. Its no more a seller-wins-it-all, but a balanced two-way win-win.

The Rafale Beasts!

Offsets are a greater buzz, these days!

I totally agree...

True. Rafale is Hot!

Sure. Fingers Crossed.

Sure, they did not offer a direct hand over but the Taliban were willing to extradiate Bin Laden to a third country, obviously except US. And, we all know very well that US could always have got him from there. As for the rest of points, I am glad to have found common ground. :)

EF is also more expensive while France is bending backwards for you guys, which means a hotter deal. Also, I am yet to come across a parameter where Rafale fails... No doubt, both AC are very capable...

Sir, IAF loves it right from MiG 21 to Mirages to Tejas & now EF & Rafale... I do not know the specific reason for which IAF loves it but delta wing jets have many aerodynamic advantages, I am listing some of them below. > Allows higher speeds > Useful lift to wings > Better...

Extremists always play on insecurity among masses. The key to success is to beat the terrorists in their own game: Address their insecurities, sentiments and frustration! Rob extremists off the very ground, they stand on. That's the long term & conclusive solution...

So, if they are there to prevent that, why are they leaving: there has been very limited capacity building of Afghans, as yet, the Taliban, still, have a lot of clout. Occupation never solves problems, they should have let Taliban extradiate OBL, tried him in court & sent a message that see he...

Like I said, it is the best shot for IAF, Rafale being a rather finely evolved air supremacy fighter from Dassault. Further, IAF will find it easier to provide for operation & logistical req of Rafale, being similar to that of Mirage. Then, it is hundred percent French meaning sound ToT & no...

Prudent move, such weapons are repugnant to the very conscience of humanity...

Israel has always meant ill for muslims across the globe and they have gloated about that, the recent Turkey-Israel impasse is a case in point. Add to that the fact, that Israel lobbies big time in the US to launch those Crusades, sole target of which are often innocent muslims. Then, the axis...

They wanted to kill the myths by dumping him in the Sea. Sorry Sir, it only keeps getting bigger...

I agree that they are obsessed with the axis, more than my liking, but the axis is not so innocent either...

Only two-thirds of PA is postured towards Eastern border, now. Further, the threat on East is pretty conventional while the Western threat is more of the unconvential. Hence, the posture seems very correct in light of current manpower, we got... And our strategic assets are super secure...
