Is there a dedicated EW variant of Rafale like EA-18G Growler?
First of all, Indian Air Force used Indian Defense Industries Produced Aircrafts.
Indian Air Force - New Prototype Rayala are advanced Aircraft and even better than the French Defense Industries - Dassault Aircrafts Produced Rafale.
Indian Experts are in the phase to Deploy Indian Air Force - New Prototype Rayala !!!!
J-10C and J-20 are the trump card. China does not use them against Rafale.
If i am not wrong !!! Chinese Air Force J-10's are bombers !!!
Rafale's enemies are J-11 and Su-35. If J-11 and SU-35 are not effective, China will order Su-57 from Russia and receive TOT.
Indian Air Force - New Prototype Rayala will be engaging J-11 or Cy-35 thats Classified !!!!
You are saying that Chinese Military has already deployed Chinese Fifth Generation Aircraft and will even deploy Rus Federation Fifth Generation Aircraft namely Cy-57.
Are Rus Federation Fifth Generation Aircraft namely Cy-57 coming with Cy-500 Anti Aircraft Batteries or the Chinese Military have integrated Rus Federation Fifth Generation Aircraft namely Cy-57 on the Chinese Ly-80 or more upgraded Anti Aircraft Batteries !!!!
Be careful about what yanks are telling you. You were under the impression that F16s will not be used on your sorry arse, came 27th Feb, endup doing the marketing for Lockheed martin/Raytheon :

First of all, Indian Armed Forces Central Command Headquarters are well aware about the User End Agreements Violations talks from the U.S Military Command.
Indian Armed Forces - Military Tribunal - Apex Court are looking is the Supplier of these American Equipment to Pakistan Air Force are Polish Air Force; German Air Force or Taiwan Air Force. Was there Any Transfer of Technology of this Equipment done legally or was this Technology was stolen from United States of America !!!!
Snow Den Episode is infront of the Allied Nations and even of the Assange involving Sweden too !!!!
Oh my !! LM/Ratheon must be jumping when they came to know it was flanker kill ,I can imaging the difficulty level for US while discussing the matter ,on one hand they will be delighted a Flanker top of the line Russian jet is down by nimble F16 on other hand Indians crying and condolences
I think you are talking about Balaad e Shaam; Rus Federation Cy-24 was shot down by Türk Hava Kuvvetleri, THK-16 on 24 November 2015
The Rafael or any upgraded F-15 would not help against the J-20 ... there is a generational divide here. What India really needed to do was to remain in the however flawed HAL-FGFA program so that way at least there would be a combat aircraft that could at least in theory seriously challenge the J-20. As a consequence, 2 years after India left the program, they have no aircraft to challenge the J-20 and probably won't have any in the next couple years either.
Chinese Air Force has not deployed J-20 against the Saudi Air Force - Taifoon Aircraft !!!! Reports are there that Saudi Air Force has upgraded Taifoon Aircraft which is 4.5 Generation !!!!
Request seems to have send by the Iranian Air Force for the Deployment of Chinese Fighter Aircrafts which the Rus Federation Air Force has disliked alot !!!!
International Air Force is consist of Many Countries which have been working against Allied Nations Air Force namely Indian Air Force; Saudi Air Force; Egyptian Air Force; Arab Emirate Air Force; Qatar Air Force; Omani Air Force; Turkish Air Force; Malaysian Air Force; Indonesian Air Force and Bangladesh Air Force.
Main Frames are good but what about actual combat ???
Indian Air Force - Maruts; the Bridegroom are prepared with Swords !!!!
The problem India has, is that China's tech level has eclipsed Frances in the Air domain, and this reflected in the J20, J10C and J16/J15 series of aircraft.
Chinese Aircraft Defense Industries and Pakistan Aircraft Defense Industries has become the Technology Providers for French; Germans; Swedish; Polish etc.
China can also invest more money into R&D to keep its J-series top of the line than France can for the Rafale, which means that the Rafale will not "age well" compared to the J-Series over its lifespan. The Rafale is a dead end for use against China..
French Aircraft Engineers are being assisted by the Chinese Aircraft Engineers and Pakistan Aircraft Engineers. Mongols are having Centuries old Relations with the Crusaders !!!!
A poor tactical procurement by the IAF.
International Air Force Squadrons all are having the same Technology !!!! Same Avionics and Same Satellites and even the Anti Aircraft Batteries are the same !!!! Knocking down one seems knocking down all !!!! Allied Nations Air Force Squadrons are different !!! Full of Prototypes with different Technology and Technics !!!
Welcome to Hindu Civilisation !!!!
India would have been better off purchasing the F15 series, where the F15QA eclipses the Rafale already and Boeing will be able to outpace France for the development of subsystems for the F15. It was India's only chance to procure a platform that could "keep" pace with China ...
Reports are there that Pakistan Military Command has send Proposals to United States of America for buying upgraded version of Aircrafts to Pakistan similar agreement like with Taiwan !!!!
Indian Air Force will go for Indian Aircrafts !!!!
Taiwanese Air Force do have American Aircrafts !!!
