I liked the article by that colonel.. Its been suggested by many analysits that we need a fighter to fill the gap of FGFA and AMCA...
So we should look for a partner country with full ToT and complete control over the program with a cheap fighter. And nothing is worth more than Gripen to fill in the space.
Already JV with Tata and Mahindra and definitely it will bring more jobs than what EF proposed. So practically Gripen which was announced getting passed in all trials seems an ideal choice. But my heart still thumbs for Rafale.
Not sure my similar message is missing...
Benny MMRCA will have political advantage so griphen is out of scope there... Secondly only US or EU can provide the advantage what India is looking for...
Rafale vs Typhoon in 2009 :
ATLC in UAE : Rafale won 7-1
Solarenza (Corsica): Rafale won 8-0
Rafale is combat proven and is the only omnirole aircraft in activity with great advantages like full sensor fusion and SPECTRA active cancellation. Also the EF is known to be more expensive and to have no future (it is probably the first and last fighter of EADS). BAE said it will probably goes with Dassault for a 5G and UAV.
Forget the EF and go for Rafale
I think it might be superior in A 2 G role (dnt know about Tranche 3)otherwise Typhoon rocks
after the induction of Paveway EFT is good as any other fighters
We have seen extensive campaign by France in regard with Brazil competition and its been announced it will be discussed in G-20 meet with Lula.. Nothing of that sort has been heard about the same with India. Its 36 fighters Vs 126 and more...
I think France has been conveyed the message of the decision and it means curtains for Rafale.
Is Rafale too heavy for MMRCA ?
If there is no question about the gripen IN being in the same weight class as the Mirage 2000-5, The F-16E/IN, however, is much heavier.
In fact, naked, the F-16E/IN weights the same as the Rafale C, but the french plane is able to carry 30% more load.
The chart below shows the empty and maximum load weight of each aircraft, sorted by increasing empty weight :
While the Rafale is the second lightest jet of the contest (same as the F-16) it is also the second best for maximum payload (just behind the F/A-18E).
