May be 1 each of Rafale B (twin seater), Rafale C (single seater) & Rafale M, makes sense.

I want to know how having fighters & other ac on display in AI effect the sales of them?? as you know that IAF selects them on technical & cost parameters not on there looks, so what sense advertisements make here?? they are not selling it to common public, they are selling it to a highly efficient & no nonsense force like IAF. So why so much hype over AI when MMRCA was on & not now when the contract has been given??

As I'm sure you know Aero India, being the largest airshow in Asia and one of that test in the world, attracts visitors from all over and especially Asia. As the Western defence market is in steep decline and the Asian is steeply growing so it makes sense to use opportunities like AI to show of your products to the world and especially Asia. You are right that now proffesional military selects equipment in looks but on technical and cost grounds however events like Aero India give an excellent opportunity for the various delegations from countries around the world to interact with the manufacturers and operators (French AF/Navy) aswell as to see the product up close. Even though the EFT is out if the Indian MMRCA completion the Europeans are still bringing the bird to Aero India and they have admitted this is for the benefit of the Asian and M.East markets.

France/Dassault also seems to be giving India a BIG thank you!

Besides I don't think AI consists of naval platforms.

In the past the IN has showcased certain a/c at AI- the Sea Harrier and IL-38SD for instance.


The main reason the P-8I won't be at AI 2013 is because it is still in US with IN crews training on it. When the P-8I hasn't even touched down in India yet how can it participate in AI? The IN aren't a bunch of show-offs who would disrupt their training regime and delay the P-8I's operational readiness just to take part in an airshow. Maybe at AI 2015 the P-8I can make an appearance (they can park it alongside the IAF's C-17).

Military ties on mind, Beijing set to attend Aero India show

Beijing is likely to send a team for the Aero India show being held in Bangalore next month after an invitation was sent to the Chinese Air Force chief by the IAF. While it is unclear if the officer will attend, a senior-level delegation is expected to come.

The mega event attracts prominent aerospace companies of the world.

The invite comes amid indications that Beijing is reaching out to New Delhi and wants a new kind of engagement. It marks a change from 2011 when India had excluded China from the event but had sent out a last-minute invitation to its embassy in New Delhi. At the time, military relations were at a low over the denial of a visa to an Indian lieutenant general, as he was commanding troops in Jammu and Kashmir.

However, that seems to be a thing of the past with India going all out to ensure a cordial atmosphere at Aero India for the visit.

A detailed note is said to have been prepared to ensure that there was no discomfiture on account of the Taiwanese participation. So while Taiwan-based companies are welcome, they will be participating in their individual capacity and not as part of a national delegation. Neither will the name of Taiwan as a nation be allowed to be mentioned at individual stalls, nor will its flag or national anthem figure anywhere.

There is an assessment that China is reaching out to India given its recent engagement on the eastern side, including the island disputes.

After the recent visit of Defence Secretary Shashikant Sharma to Beijing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hong Lei spoke of building “new type of military to military relations featuring lasting stability and friendly cooperation”. After the meeting, the Chinese spokesperson termed military relations between the two countries as an “important indicator of the depth of the bilateral cooperation”.

A joint army war game is also expected this year after a gap of almost four years.

Doubtful, they won't take the costs and send fighters from Europe to India, but from their base in the UAE, which means it will be air force versions.
It's a good will gesture, Dassault was actually the only vendor in the competition that refused to go the PR way for the public, with Rafale attending AI only shortly before the downselection. But don't forget that not only civilians will visit AI, but also politicians, IAF personell, reporters and VIPs that could convince others according to their likes. Remember the investigation about Rafales win, after a nonsense complain from a politician that has no clue about the fighters at all? That's where PR plays a role and in a country like India, with a high corruption rate, it makes even sense.

Why does a Aircraft like P-8I require specially a naval platform to fly?
Besides, have you seen any Naval platform in any air show or aviation exhibition?.
Look before you leap.
Stupido.....

3 Rafales To Star At AeroIndia 2013

I can now confirm that 3 Dassault Rafale fighters will fly in for Aero India 2013, kicking off on February 6 at the IAF's Yelahanka base. Two will be on air display duties and the third, a special static display.

This year's show, unlike the last two in 2009 and 2011, is expected to be a decidedly fighter-less one, with the MMRCA competition now down to contract negotiations with France. You know you're in for a pretty flat show when one of the highlights is a Pilatus PC-7 Mk.2 prop trainer. There's no word yet on what else exhibitors will be bringing to fly, though I'm hearing the USAF may fly in a C-17 like they did last year. Also hearing that the Russians might bring in their MiG-29 display team.
Livefist: 3 Rafales To Star At AeroIndia 2013

This perhaps is the most emphatic confirmation that deal is progressing well.

Also hearing that the Russians might bring in their MiG-29 display team.

Again would love to See Russian Knights & Swifts in Action.
