i have learned of an interesting development.
india has signed for the technical and financial agreements for the jet but has not signed for the 50% offset agreement.
thats the hardest part.
You have it backward : the contract is signed; the offset agreement must follow.
But it would be no problem anyway due to MII preparations. In essence, the parties
now have to find a repartition. There is a defined scale where having Indians screw
in parts ranks low or 1€ for 1 € of product, Indians setting up manufacture that stays
ranks higher like 1.5€ for 1€ of product and Indians learning to design & manufacture
sits highest with 2 or 3€ for 1€ of final product.
The last may seem like paying too much but the weapon might simply not have existed
without that help and what is that worth?
For 3+B€, India gets either that in local manufacture or 2/3 of that in production plants or
a third of that in knowledge to build say the AMCA.
And it's going to be 3.2/3.4 B because some of the sales article in the global deal are not
offsets forwarding , like say the integration sub-segment.
Does DCNS Evolved Aircraft Carrier (DEAC) have emal catobar or steam catobar?
Steam is most likely. Nuke carriers can produce it aplenty
and you should read a bit on the E-MALS program history.
Great evening all, Tay.
P.S. StephenC was right to complain about the translation level; it
is pitiful. For future reference, chasse is hunt not hunting but more
importantly means fighter by opposition to transport in French.
Replace as wished hunt/hunting/chasse ... embarquée or not, with Fighter Force.
