Palau is a nuclear armed nation
Wait! It isn't?

Palau is a nuclear armed nation
Psst. Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
While India is not, France is a part to the NPT and therefor abides by the rules set forth within it... rules that include no exporting or jointly developing nuclear capable delivery systems..
The IAF itself. The numbers are generally between 54 and 59 depending on who you ask and has been rounded off to 60 squadrons. But this was back in the 1950s, still unchanged.
Eventually the IAF decided to maintain 45 squadrons as their minimum necessary due to the realities of our situation, and that didn't happen until this century with the govt sanctioning 42 squadrons.
Personally, with the addition of a large number of attack helicopters and UCAVs, we may not need that many. But this is the IAF we are talking about, so you never know.
China and Pakistan will both be well behind us as and when our jets start coming in.
In case some didn't notice,under the Rafale we can see a ASMP/A missile,which is the french strategic forces nuclear air-launched cruise missile.

Who is Norway ?
Never heard of him.
Frero, j'ai eu une notification que tu m'a mentionné? mais je vois rien ici.
Huh.....Je fais des rêves où tout va bien?
Could you be kind enough to elaborate ? Perhaps , venture a qualitative estimate of their air forces circa 2025 - 2030 ?
That being said, dedicated electronic attack platforms will be a force multiplier like E/A-18G. MKI would be a nice candidate for the modifications.
Good call, French Bread. Everything on PDF is overly emotional and put forth by ignorant fools... so what else does someone expect here?
For instance, talk crap on Norway and. Totally measured response by PDF standards, but kind of emotional and nationalistic. And don't even get me started on the quality of my posts.
...
Also, this damn thing is still going on. Yeah alright, I'll check back in a few months for some progress.
At least the IN got the anchor out of its pants (apart from its sub procurement).

Compared to current missile ASMP, the ASMPA would offer a greater range (500 to 600 km) and a greater diversity of trajectories, including final penetrations maneuvers at very low altitude. This missile, the successor to the ASMP carried by the Mirage 2000N and Super Etendard Modernized (SEM), is equipped with the new airborne nuclear warhead (TNA) with a power of 300 kilotons. With an estimated range of 500 kilometers at high-altitude, ASMPA is powered by a ramjet, which gives it a higher speed of around Mach 3. Capable of flying very low, it has penetration capacity and increased accuracy compared to its predecessor. This missile is implemented by the Mirage 2000N, Rafale Air and Navy Rafale.
And this could make our Mirage fleet even more deadlier . But why only 54 bought by France? These missiles can be used for conventional missions at large scale. Stand alone range 500-600 km with 300 kg war heads at Mach 3
If you're going to do it, do it right. The E/A-18G was the wrong replacement for an aircraft that didn't need one. The MKI or J-XX variants are great multi-role platforms, but they've nothing on a platform like the EA-6B. And if you're going to make a carrier-based electronic support platform, this is the way to go.
Greater range, payload, defensive capabilities and fuel economy versus the E/A-18G... retired in 2015 and they shouldn't have been. Don't make the mistake of making a half-*ssed platform like the J-XX or Growler.
@Picdelamirand-oil says these aircraft are obsolete compared to the Rafale.
Good for him.
With the way he hawks the Rafale I'm sure everything is obsolete against it in his mind.

Is Swedish not Norwegian.
why so much? We make brahmos at 3 million.$11M a missile. Too expensive for conventional missions.
