???????I think the topic is about IAF..!!!!!!
And you give suggesstion like "We can go for both the fighters in 126 + 126 numbers".And also our AC's will be indegeniously built so not need of foreign assistance atleast not UK.

I thought its a far gone conclusion that rafale would win this contest after BAE systems announced 3000 job custs & the consortium decided to go slow on the production of EFT! I could be wrong.. but signs are very much in favour of Rafale..

Not exactly as it was stated that despite ongoing order for Hawks for IAF and possibility of EFT for BAE they could still be delivered because the majority of their production is/would be done in India (HAL has already started fully manufacturing Hawks and delivering to IAF. the job cuts mainly apply to facilities that produced/maintained the, now retired, Nimrod/Harrier of the RAF/RN.

But still has an important relation with EF, since it is aimed to stretch the production line of EF beyond 2015 because the partner countries will not go for the last batches they planned to order initially. Either they pay for the cancellation, or have to find export customers, that takes themm customers like India, or Japan.

Yes, I'm not saying this move has NOTHING to do with MMRCA. Only that these moves will not HARM the EFT standing in MMRCA or its ability to be delivered.
