India confirms order for IAF's Rafale deal with France

[Bharat_Bhakt]

Well buddy what I meant is. That the operational requirements of our air force are also increasing.

A simple example.we replace 3 Mig27 squadrons with 1of Rafale. Now think it this way, may be the Rafale equivalent to 8 Mig27s, but is one squadron enough to do the duties required?

If I go by your logic, we need not go for more than 36 Rafales and another 2 squadrons of Flankers . Is it realistic? No.

By doing so we may maintain our level of capabilities what we had 10 years ago, but we will loose the gap advantage which we had over our adversary.

1on 1 replacement is still well and good for India.




Yes 100 Tejas might be on order, but what I am trying to say is, will they be manufactured within 7 yearsyears from now? When we are giving up about 2 older squadrons each year?

well dear brother concept of 1 to 1 procurements is obsolete three AESA & SPECTRA equipped & fully loaded rafale flying in a formation is more deadly than a full squadrons of JF-17s or two squadrons of Mig21 bisons think about it as they will be backed by all that i mentioned in my last post

Probably yes…To keep it in mind HAL is making new and bigger production line.

Don Worry ...We need both....First S400 (It will make pakistan no fly zone) will come to India and later FGFA....We are very good in Bargain...YOU KNOW RIGHT...???

yep very good from 126 rafale to 36 rafale very good.... keep it up

 

[#hydra#]

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

I fear paf may try for su35

 

[Ankit Kumar]

Now deem senario , we have 3 squadrons each , one in north east, one in north, and another one in south of Mig21/27.Now we replace them with one squadron of Rafale placed in north east. Now think a conflict happens and India need to fight a two front war. Will not it be sucidal sending aircrafts from north east to north and south when our preparedness against China is already low?
Absolutely not.

This is why we need numbers too.

 

[Manidabest]

Kid we forget nothing we already paid 295 million $ for preliminary design for FGFA

S-400 is already on verge of official sign
The MOU already signed BTW reliance. Almatz for production of S-400

nice concept but thing is 36 rafles is the initial french built order do you really thing IAF will be contended with that and these nagociations going on for so long are for just 36 rafales and that too fully french built if you think so i rest my case but dont forget we have jaguars,mirage2000's, Su-30MKI's & Mig29s for some purpose .

 

[SSGcommandoPAK]

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....

Hahaha Congratz Indians , Finally you are getting the Rafale's
