WSO = Wide Sector Optronics as you said.

you got the point, but without zooming capabilities.

Trying to dig that....

India’s M-MRCA Fighter Competition: “We’re Sorry, HAL, We Can’t Do That”

Jan 13/14: Negotiations. India Today reports that a team of French officials from Dassault, Thales and Snecma is in Bangalore talking to HAL at the IAF’s request, in an attempt to resolve the workshare and responsibilities issues that are holding up the deal. As one source put it:

“The difficult part of the negotiations over the transfer of technology and the mandatory [industrial package] spin offs have already been finalised but there is uncertainty about who will provide what”.

Given India’s proposed deal that would give HAL control over the project, but penalize Dassault for failures (q.v. April 5/13), that isn’t exactly surprising. Sources: India Today, “Dassault seeks to end Rafale log jam with IAF”.

Insider news : talks processed very well.

Can you confirm or rubbish the talk about 2 sperate deals ie one for the initial 18 to be followed by a seperate contract for 108?

And when are looking at for ink to paper?

+ @halloweene any specifcs on the breakdown of Bs and Cs? It was said the IAF was interested in a correction to the single seat:twin seat ratio of fighters to optimise the strike-mission effectivness of their fleet. Was this nonsense or what?

i cant say a lot about indian Rafales, its not Dassault politics to communicate on clients requirements, so each time i ask smthing its like talking to a wall.
About the just posted photo, the interesting part is the opening of 3rd wing station.
