Good going I hope IAF will prefer EF or RF rather then F-18....

coming next few years india will have their own EW , A2A missle , radar and other subsystems on board.......
what makes EF or Rafale so speacial then to keep talking about them only....?
New Recruit
We've gone through detailed comparisons before but I'll give you the gist.
Rafale is a better choice because
AESA available with source codes
Single vendor
Good experience with Mirage 2K
Deep TOT
Naval Version already available
New Recruit
avionics, EW , A2A missle , radar and other subsystems are all build in india , looking at LCA progress.......
EF or Rafale will not offer anything beyond that india didn't already have.....what's the logic of buying any of these two at a cost 3-4 time more then LCA..?
only the amarican Fighter could bring something new and over a lap forward interms of technology..
only advantage i see is MATURE AESA RADAR..but that advantage will vanish in 5 years when others catch up..so should we buy a fighter jet for 5 years..especialy when we have a tradition of over stretching our fighters beyond their operational period.and what tech are you talking about?

EuroFighter IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR IAF AND IF RAFALE Provides free upgradation than Rafale. If super Horny provides block 3 upgradition without any strings then its best choice for IAF...
Good and great no US jets for IAF.. maybe its ok for IN.
Any Euro canards will do.
Then forget about the Apache gunship! .
If we are buying American platforms, then it must follow that we see some benefit in such an action.
Strip a P8I & what do you get? Nothing! India could buy any aircraft then.
For reasons that I have stated earlier, i think that F-18 stands a very good chance in the competition, not least because of the engine commonalities with the LCA. Do you think the LCA engine contract was handed out in a vacuum?
If either EF or Rafale win, then we would have just added to our engine inventory. The choice of the American engine says quite a bit of where this competition is heading.
Anyone will understand that basic facts are against going for US fighters are below 1%.
Rafale will win for sure.
