Finally, Indian Govt Clears $2.4-bil Mirage Upgrade Deal

[tvsram1992]

Almost 50 million $ each!
no matter how fancy these loser Mirage is, it is not going to be better than J-10B, which comes with a $30 million each price tag for PLAAF.

anyway, you guys are rich, doesn't need to worry money. PLAAF can only cry hard at home and deisgn its own J-20.

Ya Mirage doesnt come near to it.
Tejas , MKI and Mig29's will handle it.

this was supposed to be in package

No, weapons will be procured in additional deals, be it MICA missile, or the PGM competition we have now between AASM and SPICE.

Livefist: Finally, Indian Govt Clears Mirage Upgrade Deal

it would have been better if Israel had upgrade them instead IAI offered half as much as the french did and Israel has just as good if not better avionics and weapons

 

[Gene]

weapons cost will be extra around $ 1 Billion.

Something tells me it wont.
Below logic -
1. We buy Russian planes, Upgrade them by Russian, By even more of that..e.g., Su30MKI.
2.We baught Mirage, Upgrade the Mirage by French, coz we feel its a potent fighter, and possibly buy more of them!!....e.g., Rafale..just go by the Su30KMI logic.

I am not even a percent convinced that MRCA has taken the Euro tangent.

i am not saying that EF is tagged in a pre planned doctrine.but i have a feeling that GOI is keeping something for everybody,may be this logic become true..
