India to buy 60-63 Rafales jets off the shelf from France; MMRCA deal off:

[Cry.me.a.River]

Oh come on..Have you seen Damini..Remember a dialogue "Chadha in hathiyaro ko chalane k liye ladke to le aaoge par kaleja kahan se laoge" or "Chadha in hatho ne abhi hathiyar chalana chodda hai inhe chalana nahi bhula hai:..Now recall we will kill you with thousand cuts.We are calm because we are busy with something else and moreover for my first statement you don't have Imaan so you don't have kaleja so keep your Rafales with yourself.F16 with Imaan >Rafael,F22,PakFa>F35.

There is one logical mistake in this paragraph.

Can you find that mistake?

Hmmm, this is getting rather confusing- a lot of conflicting comments coming out as to whether the 36 are entirely separate from the 126 OR simply separate from the 108 and the 36 unit figure represents just an additional 18 Rafales to be built in India as opposed to the original deal.


Anyway we can safely say the IAF will have at least 144 (36+108) but could conceivably get 162, add in the follow-on units (63) we are looking at 207- 225.

So all i can say with any degree of certainty is the IAF will be operating 144-225 Rafales by 2025, the details will emerge in time....


And some of our "friends" just went

Guys a humble request..We started cheering up just by going through the sources where in we have bigger sources out here who claim otherwise.We are just reading on Internet which does not hold any credibility but one of the mod who has close relationship with forces and analysts worldwide claimed something different a month ago. Don't you think we should wait because @Horus heard something else from his credible sources.

Umm, wait, unless i got that wrong, Isn't India changing the RFP rules itself now.....they wanted 18 in flyaway condition (original tender, regardless of which aircraft was selected) and rest by HAL....seems like even Modi has realized that they were demanding too much.....or expecting too much.

No they are not. They have used a follow-on order clause within the RFP which allowed them to get more than just 18. This has been reported in Le Monde.
