Actually the F-18 was eliminated on the basis of inability to meet the IAF's technical criteria along with the MiG-35, Gripen and F-16IN.

Which Technical Criteria ?

Which Technical Criteria ?

As far as the F-18 goes if I remember correctly it was issues with start up during cold-soak tests in Leh.

When is the BOAT RIDE ; at what time

What a joke is this,'Make in India' should be prime motto in France, eh? France in India or some foreign country.

Make in India should be by Indians themselves, invented indigenous, Indian raw materials, Indian skill.

Indians sure make a complete mockery of 'indigenous,' and 'make in India' slogans...and world laughs whenever an Indian comes up with indigenous, make in India empty words!

dumbass Germany are holding a exhibition on 'make in india' to get german companies to manufacture in India.

its your plain hatred towards indian pm , nothing else.

Then you should not equipped your frontline warships with US engine.

Which operational capability F-18 lacks.
They does not ready to give full ToT specially AESA radar thats why they got rejected.

Hannover Messe 2015

The announcement should be BEFORE the boat ride

Otherwise they will say that FRANCE has taken MODI for a ride

 

[Dr Gupta]

This deal is the craziest. Few hours away from the announcement & nobody still has a clue on what exactly is happening.
