LCA final figure definitely go beyond 250, no doubt about that. BTW there is also requirement of LIFT trainer in IAF.Lets not get carried away. All of this could still be a rumour.
Partially correct sir but IN target year internally seems to be 2023 latest and maximum by 2025. (with slack period)The IAC-2 atleast 12-14 years away from commission, lets see which new solutions become available.
The first 36 Rafale will be off the shelf, and Dassault assured GoI that delivery start within 24 months of signing of contract.Its better India stick with import Rafale first. I bet the first Made in India Rafale will roll off the line on 2022. Can IAF afford that?
Yup, this is same like China, which claimed it using AESA for J-11, and in the end buying SU-35 equipped with PESA.It not about money. Basically India lack the sophisticated industries to produce production line to support the whole Rafale production. If you want to be 100% made in India. That will include set up of supplier chain line industries, not just ask Dassault to produce a production line will do. It is something money cannot buy in short time.

I am fan of him, pure and simple.Why did you choose the Gen's name? Just curious.

hi!
two things that stand out in this news is
interesting times ahead surely.
- it looks IN too is considering Rafales and there is now some merit that government is open to considering IAF demand of more Rafale at later dates. we might end up having a number in vicinity of 190 as @Abingdonboy has maintained.
- it looks like India is establishing a template for future manufacture of 2-3 types of fighter jets in parallel. i find some similarity with how multiple submarine programs are proposed to be managed by public and private shipyards. with this in practice i suppose it will create a healthy competitions between manufacturers to deliver on time. it will also give government flexibility to decide funding.
I dont know DAE even started the work on PWR reactor or not, or when the first land based version will be constructed. 2023 is little pretty highly optimistic.
Its like a dangling carrot being shown to India.Proof of the pudding is in eating it ..... lets see when it happens too early to say anything yet
ideally they would want a fifth generation fighter like F 35 or a possible naval version of PAK FA but for sake of commonality and how J 31 is developed and deployed, Rafale is an excellent choice.The IAC-2 atleast 12-14 years away from commission, lets see which new solutions become available.

we must also consider thaat by 2035 there will be atleast 4 AC in IN fleet and therefore we are talking of 130- 150 naval fighters. A mix of N Tejas, MiG 29K and Rafale would be a very impressive fleet.
I think he is telling right .
