One Indian defence ministry source confirmed to Reuters that the Rafale had been "much cheaper unit-wise", adding: "Moreover, the Indian air force, which is well-equipped with French fighters, is favouring the French."



Looks like Rafale was cheaper in L1

Where is our friend Sancho? He's been advocating the purchase of Rafale with so much enthusiasm and vigour, i am sure he's celebrating and dancing his heart out .

J-10B , more value for money.

Sancho and Spark must be in party mode bring out the mithai

 

[peep]

AWESOME !!

 

[machinist]

they stay in pocket with there wish you know why ? that pocket is full of money and they will try to take out that money as much as they can

No sir, its a mutual benefit for both of us. They wants money and we wants technology, aircraft, experience, knowledge.
Anyhow the production of the aircraft is going to be in India. so it is also going for the people's pockets.

BTW, does anybody have any idea, where the production is planned. HAL or any private sectors involved in it?

 

[peep]

My fellow Indians, please have some

It is party night for us

Comparing apples and oranges. Different planes, different specs and different mission requirements. J10 is more suited towards high altitude air superiority missions while the Rafale is more geared towards strike missions.

 

[notsuperstitious]

It was the logical choice.

1) We already operate french and like it
2) Our requirement is immediate, Rafale is available immediately, not EF
3) Easier to deal with one country (and a business friendly country that supported India even going against the US) than four, all four can not go against US
4) Rafale can be used off ACs
5) French not sanction happy, also willing to share technology
6) French have all to offer, from subs to advanced ship building to nuclear tech to great food and wine, what else do we need ?

First 18 off the shelf, rest 108 by HAL.

Pakistanis will be really very happy because if we look at Technology wise J -10 B and Rafale are of the same category and Rafale is never selected by any other country what I can see behind this decision is lot of corruption and Money Mafia involved

rafale is omni role i.e both for ground and air roles
MMRCA=medium multi role combat aircraft
