France turns the screws on Imran Khan, declines upgrade for Mirage, subs and more

[Areesh]

If i am not wrong we rejected the proposal by DCN to upgrade agosta 90b and instead gave it to STM turkey??

Yes

Apart from being an Indian squeeling,

Don't sell your faith for few trinkets. It is your most prized asset even in material realm. Everything builds on it as the basis. Without it, a pile of expensive shaped metal and wires accumulated wil rust as useless junk.

If i am not wrong we rejected the proposal by DCN to upgrade agosta 90b and instead gave it to STM turkey??

It was competitive bidding and DCN submitted a bid along with STM who won the contract in the end. First submarine was due to be delivered this year but probably got delayed due to corona. Other two will be delivered in 2021 and 2022. Indians live in their own box world no need to pay heed to these morons.

@airomerix eluded to Mirage upgrade program last year plus the Mirage purchase from Egypt has been put on hold. Pakistan is buying harnesses from France for JF-17. As per latest report

Mirage overhaul program is still active you can observe it if you know where to look, and I am sure you do know where to find about it

Next logical choice was OEM i.e. France, now they are refusing to upgrade MESMA as well. It seems logical as upgraded AIP module would be installed in Indian Navy submarines.

As far as I know Upgraded MESMA AIP was never developed for Agosta subs but for Scorpene Submarine so any attempt of acquiring of upgraded modules for our Agosta Submarines is out of question

South Koreans has refused to work with Pakistan Army or entertain their further requests for Military equipment due to them working with Indians?

main interest of PAF was related to T-50 at one point of time under previous chief even during in his tenure PAF decided not to go for this Advance fighter jet trainer .....

As far as Hanwa Corp is concern it was once contacted for the upgraded of our artillery to standard 155/52 mm calibre at the second tenure of Gen. Kayani which for some reason was never materialise since then ..... second program with Korea was related to TOT of Base bleed rounds for artillery which now POF makes itself and offer for export as well ....

So in short we do not have any active defence program with Korea, and in the last I would term Korean Defence Industries decision of not working with Pakistan is more related to international politics related to China rather just because of the Indian factor .....

This could be understand by a simple fact that Korean defence firms were dealing with Indian defence market but not refuse to engage us in negotiation for their defence products even when they were under contract with Indian Ministry of Defence for example during K-9 SPH sales few years back

The biggest caveat is Pakistan was looking to buy French HMD for JF-17 block-III. That thing went down the drain as well.

Yap but PAF did get French Helmets for JF-17 and Mirage Jets as we have seen videos of JF-17 and Mirage aircraft pilots wearing MSA flight helmets

EW Aircrafts of French origin which Jammed IAF communications.

We have reports about D-20 overhaul without OEM support in PAC Kamra

See, this is what happens when you have a big mouth.

Protection of our Nabi isn't called having a big mouth. Don't be a coward. France isn't our Raab.

 

[xyx007]

Is Indian media have any credibility worldwide to start belive it is fake newj or not?

 

[Hamza913]

No this is what happens when you believe in fake news by hindustan times

The story is most certainly plausible.

Protection of our Nabi isn't called having a big mouth. Don't be a coward. France isn't our Raab.

As if Khan speaking made even an iota of a difference.

Tell me, what's more important to you: defending Muslims materially, or "defending" (I put it in quotations because it has no effect) Muslims verbally?

So disrespecting the Prophet for you is alright and defending him is being Big Mouth?

See my previous comment

India has very strong relations with France both in terms,of military and political and trade.

we aim to buy the more Rafale fighters and either barracuda subs or improved larger scorpene from them. worth billion s of dollars.

there's even likely to be orders for French next generation sixth gen fighters post 2030..

France knows,India's importance to them..

but this issue with pakistan is not indian influenced but France attitude to islamophobis and terror attacks I think a d not indian diplomatic pressure .

your giving India too much credibility

 

[xeuss]

I find this news hard to believe. French will sell anything to anyone for money.

 

[Viking 63]

This news is BS- The Agosta has been already updated in Turkey, old Mirages are on thier last leg as they will be replaced by JF-17 in next 5-7 Years, I dont know what Air defence system they are talking about. French are biggest greedy bunch they will always sell even if they have to use a back door- Case in Example Nuclear Technology to Pakistan. Indian media has zero credibility in the world pay no attention !!

PDF should be free of Indian filth.

That's why i said many times we should stay neutral on international issues. It is said, If you give finger, don't expect flowers in return

 

[CrazyZ]

Fake news. France is not involved in Mirage upgrades...that was done in house. Agosta's are being upgraded by Turkey.
