guys i have a question

russian air chief also came in india to verify the reports abt the mig-35.but according to the reports above ,i dont see russia.

 

[SpArK]

Would love these over our skies

The only thing I don't like in Rafale is the refuling probe. It looks so ugly. Can't they have some sort of retractable probe. Imagine how sleek it will look without that probe

 

[SpArK]

Rafale is designed with minimal moving parts like no air brakes and a non retracting refuelling probe so as to minimise maintenance and ensure a high readyness rate. It never requires to leave its base for overhauls throught its service life.

If you look at commercial aspect of it then Rafale is better than Euro fighter.

France always charge more for upgrades & maintenance, we saw it in Mirage upgrades.more than 2 billion need to pay the upgrade.We operate 51 MirageH and upgrade price is around 40 million per plane? whereas new Mig29K costed us 36 million. Is this commercial advantage?

i would anyday prefer the f-16 super viper over the hornet
guys is the one offered to us hornet mk2??

 

[cybertron]

plus i am not much of a rafael fan

 

[doctor_who]

most Indian pilots like to get their hands on American fa-18 super hornet.

secondly after sale american don't make you pay twice the money previously decided.

after sale service is better by Americans.

indian pilots were always in aw- of the quality of fighter pakistani fly.

its the first time we are offered better fighter than pakistan by Americans. India wont miss the opportunity.

also once you get in deal with americans , you get to fly and train with them in most drills.
