Rafale Finally Does It

Yes I think 30-60 Rafale is must for PAF in the light of indian MRCA 126 jets. GOP must provide funds for this beast as it's a must to counter that mrca threat.

If India goes for Rafale for its MRCA, do you think our 30-60 will stand any chance against 126 of India?

There are less chances of india taking a Rafale deal they are more interested in F-18 SH on USA or Eurofighter in 2nd list.

Yaar along with these 1 or squardons of Rafale there will be FC-20 from china are you forgetting those and also our very own JF-17 Thunder will be there so no worries if we able to get Rafale somehow.
 
F-16 deal comes with spares, training, infrastructure, and wide variety of armaments. With F-16 program we will have about 90 block 52+ equivalent or less MRCA. 36 Rafales of 90 F-16s. to be honest i would go with the F-16s. But Rafale is still a requirement which should be full filled even if it takes to sacrifice some FC-20 and JF-17s.
What i cant Understand
1 F-16====> MRF
2 FC-20=====> MRF
3 JF-17=====> MRF
4 Possible Rafale ======> MRF?????????
rather I would like to add Power punch by any one of below to complement F-16s and FC-20 in strike role
4 J-11B======> ASF
5 EF-2000 =====> ASF
6 SU-35 (Imagination)=======> ASF
7 F-15 (Imagination)========> ASF
:coffee:
 
ya he ll have a good day at least today :lol:
coming back I agree Typhoon is rally a "typhoon" I love this AC but lesser than I love Grippen:smitten:

My classfellow JF17 pilot says that Grippen is much better choice for PAF..

yes i was flying a F-22 last night then i woke up!!!! see JF-17 is no where close to the GRIPPEN.....in terms of avionics as well as serviceability and armament.....

give the JF time we are not letting the fighter grow naturally!!!
 
F 15 will do for PAF i think it is best avaiabke platform for us if we push USA to counter indian MRA they will sell us for sure

How about Saudi used F-15s?
i knew it.. for a moment you guys would say.. right onn :cheesy: ...
First it was UAE MK2 then Irani F-14s and now F-15s? cool..
 
Rafael is a brand new 4++ ultra modern omin role fighter. Tremondous strike/FGA capability using stealth avionics making it difficult to track by SAM networks. Twin engines gives the beauty long range and heavy loads.

In a ir defense role it will carry a new advanced AESA to be inducted by 2012 with mica WVR and metore BVR missles.

From my pint of veiw Rafael is 2nd favorite to win mmrca behind Typhoon.

Regardless of IAF its a must for PAF by 2015

Rafale is almost out of the contest and so is the EF. leaving FA-18 and Gripen... And i can bet you 100 bucks that SH will win. i can feel it coming.

Yes, the Indians would be crazy to pass on the SH, imagine a SH strike package with MKI escort ...scary! :eek:
 
If Algeria is can think about buying Rafale then why the hell we can't buy these fighters?
 
Ya 5.1 Bn exact. I said earlier that PAF could switch to more modern jets like I still say we could get Grippen NG that was way way way better than at least F-16s that we are getting even now. But the problem is that this would create a Gap in the combat ability of PAF. With thunder in initial stage, Phasing out vipers would be risky which PAF wouldn't wana take as it would 3 to 4 years to get the 1st jet flying so that s why I think PAF went for MLU

It is not that simple to switch and with JF-17 we have control over the supply chain of spares etc.

Imagine EU putting a ban on defence sales to Pakistan with a war in process. We have seen that in 1965.

Technology of JF-17 is godd and it will improve over the next 2-3 yrs.
