yup..however a bit quicker and final...Modi is after this 36 which means that finally GOI has got some brains and have understood the gravity of situation IAF is facing...But deal not signed in today's meeting.Negotiations will continue between official of both the nations.
India to buy 36 French-made Rafale jets: PM Modi| Reuters(Reuters) - India will purchase 36 of Dassault Aviation's French-manufactured Rafale fighter jets, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday during a visit to Paris.
The terms and conditions of the contract have yet to be finalised, Modi said at a joint press conference with French President Francois Hollande.
IAF's requirement is clearly 126
So 36 is a PALTRY amount ; not enough at all
I think so.that means 36 will come not ASAP?
New Recruit
..just leave the AAParasites....alone...they are good for nothing and won't let anybody doo anythingh..36 is not all.... 126 is all.....what congress did last 3 years...Mr Modi hater
This is a separate FMS styled Govt to Govt deal, with MMRCA negotiations still carrying forward.I would like confirmation that 36 is not the final number before I celebrate as it stands 36 is barely a third of the conceived number and not enough at all.
But I am very confident this is just part 1 of any such deal, more are coming.
Let's wait for more details to come out sir (hey if I get called this so are you ) had the order been for 63 then I would have been more pessimistic given no further information has flown vis a vis follow on orders but at only 36 units order there is simply no way this is the end of the story and did you notice Modi mentioned "Make in India" when talking about the Rafale deal?Is that what they are saying? How come OP is not mentioning that? If so, I'm ok.
Where is my Bro @The_Sidewinder ....
Yup 18 each .
And why I get an impression that additional jets will be made in India ?
Am just guessing . No source to back my claim . Modi ji would have gone for it as stop gab solution . As negotiations for ToT will take more time.
And now we have more time to negotiate . If that's the what in his mind then it's a Master Stroke move
