MMRCA Jet Deal Results Expected In Three Weeks

[janon]

Typical job vacancy for the Indian military:

Requirements:

5-10 years of experience in issuing projects deadlines and writing explanations of postponement.

Can work under pressure to rewrite and reissuing deadlines.

No, the requirements for Indian military personnel is warfighting ability. The job description you described applies to the bureaucrats in the ministry of defence. And there I agree with you.

In late July 2011, the IAF said that the lowest bidder was to be determined in the "next five to six weeks".

On 9 October 2011, despite reports that a winner would be announced in October 2011, Air Chief Marshal Norman Anil Kumar Browne stated that India is first approving the finalists' industrial offset offers, and allowing each time to make a final bid. A total cost based on life-cycle cost, purchase cost, and technology transfer value for each competitor will be calculated. The two competing financial bids were formally opened on 4 November 2011

On 18 November, Air Chief Marshal Browne said that the winner would be announced by mid-December 2011.

india rupee exchange rate already passed 53, it is heading to 54. Things like MMRCA is just going to turn india back to being an economic basketcase.

looks like CN and PK members are far more excited about MMRCA.

My money is on the Eurofighter.

No we just found it hilarious that india went and chose the most expensive two aircrafts the deal, blowing off and pissing off everybody else (i.e. the largest military aerospace companies in the world), and then turn around and say "sorry, we don't have enough money."

And we find it hilarious that threads like this pop up every 3 weeks. You'd think they just recycle the same thing over and over and change the date.

If this is the way you guys do things in india, it's not surprising your country is the way that it is!

Not everyone has a habit of believing everything the govt says.

PAKFA - Check mate

come on this is still on paper``

^there are three prototypes built already, not exactly on paper. but lets not go off topic.

China's challenge would be to give Pakistan stealth fighter (maybe for free) before india takes delivery of its export variant of PAK-FA. We can give Pakistan something like a super-budget J-20 with single engine.

same as "toilet" "cow" and other similar useless theads are banned on PDF
Something as worthles as MMRCA should be banned too..as its never gona happen.

PK is more a low cost hedge against India. I don't quite see the benefit to give expensive machines for that purpose.
lets discuss this once these planes become operational, both china and Russia/IN are far from operational capability.

you're qualified to have your opinions, but not your own facts.

i dont think it is feasible, you cant just change twin engine fighter into a single easily, it will bring major changes on its areodynamics which will definitly require total redesign of lots of things.

and all aspects stealth feature is not what PAF looking for, I believe (regarding its relatively smaller terrirory and defensive stance).. with current birds PAF has or going to have, FC-1 and FC-20, China and Pakistan can easily modify them to improve their capability, like what USA did to its Super Hornet and Silent Eagle.

and it is very likely that PAF will induct FC-20 earlier than IAF's MMRCA

 

[rcrmj]

The aircraft pakistan was planning to buy in order to counter mmrca was some 36 j10b on soft loans,not fc-20.

kid please educate yourself, FC-20 is PAF's designation for J-10A/B
