Rafale Negotiation Talks to Take a Month More!!!

[SUDIP]

New Delhi: The talks for negotiating the cost of 36 Rafale fighter jets India is buying from France is going on at a "hectic" pace and are likely to be wrapped up in another one month, top defence sources said.

"The talks have been very hectic. There are a lot of fine prints that both sides look into. The talks will most likely take one more month," defence sources told PTI.

"The talks are taking place since morning to evening. The French side is here thrice every month and every effort is to wrap up the talks fast," they said.

The Defence Acquisition Council had on September 1 given the go ahead for further negotiations for purchase of 36 jets that had got stalled due to differences over a variety of issues.

India's insistence on 50 per cent off-set clause, tweaking of weaponry technology and plans to set up two bases were among the sticking points that had cropped up during the talks that began after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the decision to acquire the fighter jets during his trip to France in April.

If things proceed smoothly, a government-to-government agreement between India and France could be signed soon, paving the way for the final contract for the purchase of the aircraft.

Why the heck weren't these points included in the initial contract? Why are we wasting time now on new GSQRs being introduced at the drop of a hat? Are we clueless numskulls? We probably are, for we know not how and what we do!

Genius ; why dont you give your expert advice to the MOD
instead of ranting here

It is better to write down everything in the INITIAL contract
so that there is no room for escalating the prices later on

Have you any idea what happened in the Scorpene deal

The Indian team missed a few details and when we went back to the French to include it
They charged us a Huge sum

And that is why the Scorpene programme has been badly delayed

You better first sign your decade old fu....ked up deal.

The so called mother of all deal has been reduced to mere 36 jets, and that too not yet final.

You dont worry about mig 35, we wont waste decade if we wish to but them.

Complicated negotiations. Hope it's wrapped up in 4 weeks. Let the beast role in tri color. Hopefully fine print is been made for additional orders as well. Buy this deal is going through. France and India has lots more to benefit from each other than this small deal
