So rafale deal is done. India becomes it's cheapest customer for rafale. But am expecting more orders

If possible we must display maximum number of missiles capable of reaching EU. one missile in each section is very less.

It would be great to see this deal signed this day.

Is that a message for Italy ?

It can be seen as humble show of strength. West respect power.

may be. And deal would be signed on November 30 . That's the rumor I got lately . but not sure why this date or it may be signed on this date. .. And preparation for ID will be on full swing.

Our moronic media is doing that job. Inviting guests and ruffling feathers is not such a great idea.
We should be thankful to him for accepting our invitation at this difficult hour.

Who Europeans and friends? They are opportunistic and very business minded, they don't care if one is economically, or militarily weak, what happened to the European friendship with Russia. Italy would have kicked India's *** if India was some somalia or Congo.

AMCA will be there post 2025 !

 

[Jat Boy]

Srinavas.

It will be rather than MK2 LCA if it is coming.

i have heard that MK2 may be shelved in place on AMCA

but OTHERS HAVE SAID IF rafale arrives then no need for AMCA all eggs funding on FGFA

it will not be ALL THREE ie RAFALE THEN fgfa then AMCA.

One will be dropped

 

[$@rJen]

AMCA will be there post 2025 !

AMCA will not come anywhere before 2035

 

[Jat Boy]

FGFA MEANS NO NEED FOR AMCA

 

[$@rJen]

And deal would be signed on November 30

Dude, i'd highly doubt it.. I don't think so the deal will be signed before making the Russians Satisfied.. I think that's the one of the reason the deal was postponed to end of the year (After modi visit Russia to sign some deals) I think only by 25th or 26th of January the deal will be signed

FGFA MEANS NO NEED FOR AMCA

I don't think so... FGFA is a heavy weight fighter while AMCA would be Medium category. and the Idea of AMCA was to disable foreign malls and stand on our own legs

He wants India's friendship more now than before, france helps india as well as pakistan as well as helped gadafi, as well as many dictators, only now for the first time france is facing the jihadi menace, which India is facing for 30 years, France never accepted terrorism emanating from Pakistan, now they want everyone to consider their point, that's why he accepted in the first instance, it is all geopolitics, as France is a developed country they will think about the future and not sit weeping for ever, they will take Revenge, unlike India who takes the beating and never reply.

Sarenjen.

IAF have to get out of the VICIOUS circle of TOO MANY COMBAT TYPES

we know SU30MKI will upgraded to Super MKI

we know LCA is comin

FGFA as the 5th gen fighter is coming

THAT LEAVES ROOM for one meduim weight either RAFALE OR AMCA

MY GUESS once IAF comitts to 36 rafale IAF will get more the SAME

INDIA CANNOT AFFORD TWO FIFT GEN FIGHTERS.

IAF NEEDS 4 COMBAT TYPES MAX IDEALLY THREE
