India confirms order for IAF's Rafale deal with France

[shree835]

We will need a lot more than just 36 to even slow down our falling numbers.

SU30 MKI...we have started with very less number...and today count in near 300....Let IAF use it and let them analyze well....Number is not the matter at all....

well approved and ordered 36 in numbers and costs very high .... lets c what our PAF is going to add in inventory to take care of ur rafale..

36 rafale is enough to counter 100 JF-17 quality has edge over quantity

well i dont think PAF will rely on jf17s definitely it will go for a better fighter to tackle ur 36 rafale... that is why i said lets see what they are going to choose.. more f16s or any twin engine fighter

more F-16 is not going to bring any new capabilities. Besides.. PAF is only going to buy 2nd handed F-16s or mirages (leaving out odd 8 jets from US) so the best option would be J-10..

Sir india has vast resource to counter Pakistani threat buy time you get new fighter we will Raise our Mki numbers to 300 + with MLU
Dont forget to add 100+ MiG-29 upg/K and 51 M2k.Plus buy then the rate production of LCA will be 16 per year and we might have manufactured 80+ LCA by then
Mig-21 bison will be in spare

This is a sensible discussion ... well how about better J11 or SU35???

Over confidence is of yours who is in myth that country which has 7 times large military budget of your will not has superiority over you

I don't know about Su-35, there's a lots of possibility that this deal would never go forward. but J-11 is defiantly going to boost PAF's abilities and can get in good Numbers since Chinese would lv to give in Soft loans but the main problem would come from the operational costs.. its dual Engine heavy maintenance is needed, availability rates are less ( one of the main reason PAF loves western fighters) but still then if PAF want to add a new dual engined fighter then time is advancing its much better to go for the Chinese stealth to counter IAF instead of 4.5 gen fightrs,

P.S i hear J-11 is banned from Exports (correct me if wrong)

well if u think weapons make armies win then Nato should have conquered Afghanistan successfully and Afghanistan would have been peaceful but sadly President of Afghanistan is famously dubbed as Mayor of kabul

well i think they are banned but experts in here can confirm .. i think with more lobbying Pakistan can get its hands on J11b and also Pakistanis are thinking to jump on 5th generation fighter like j31 soo i hope they come up with something better more advanced and not very costly fighter....

India confirms order for IAF's Rafale deal with France - The Economic Times

The deal involves delivery of aircraft to begin within three years of signing the agreement -- 2018-end in this case -- but French industry sources told this writer some time back in Paris that Dassault had started planning for the Indian order from mid-2015 itself, and "maybe the deliveries could be faster, if required".

Thats the cream of the news for me.

Oh my bad, Its the J-20 which is banned for Exports, J-31 will take time to fully get matured for Induction (could be 2023-25) so ya.. you guys have the option to buy j-11 or buy more used f-16 for now and keep some money reserved to get the next Gen fighters in good numbers
