May be for ToT!! Also, The F4 model...

Brahmananda saar, have you looked through all the different arguments made against the SHornet are you just going to post your stump speech? No doubt the plane has its benefits, but have you considered the drawbacks this plane brings? Carl_T, Can we have the list of drawbacks each plane brings? Tha...

f-16IN for one has longer range ability, its ferry range is higher than the rest. Its comes with operational AESA. LM since the beginning has shown the willingness to full-tot if the US govt. permits it. F-16 can readily fire all the latest weapons in US and Israeli inventory including weapons like...

I believe we are under estimating the capabilities of F-16. Look at its service records with Israel Air Force and the technology f-16IN comes with. Also, we don't have any supporters for F-16 in this forum.

Can anybody tell me in what ways Gripen is better than F-16?

Let's assume Rafale flyaway cost is 60M€ - 80M$ (should be a few millions less actually). Your tender is very similar to Brazil's: you need a fair deal of them, want as much TOT as possible and to assemble them on your ground. Looking at Brazil's prices (~6.2bn$ for a first batch of 36 - F18 was ta...

Thank you, I'm coming here at least once a week but there hasn't been much news on Rafale to post these days (only rumors, once good, once bad, nothing credible). Some small news anyway: - Talks with UAE are reaching their final phase: price negociations. We still don't know who wil buy back the 20...

Hi Everybody, I would like to know the extent of technology transfer IAF expects from the contenders if anyone has any info regarding it. I believe this is one of the crucial requirement of IAF other than the price and the maintenance cost. I believe almost all fighters meet the technical requiremen...

My friend ... If it is about changing basic format of the deal... I will say..we should go out with 90+ Mig-35s and around 30 Tu-160 BlackJacks.

Rahul M,

I was in a hurry man. U seems to be a very arrogant person.

I was just trying to explain that 10,000-12,000 Indian soldiers fought a force of 80,000 in 1962 war.

I know what I m doing. Speak with some sense.

INDIA 10,000-12,000 approx. China 80,000 These is the strength of INDIA and Chinese forces during 1962 war. Give me a brake.

A pending query of mine The recent opening of 3 airfields in NE, proposed raising of Mountain Divisions, induction of T 72 instead of older tanks - are these enough as purely defensive set up to hold back any Chini adventure? Somehow I have a feeling that Chini wont be looking at only holding a few...

It's not a surprise, Rafale was always the frontrunner in Brazil. Brazil and France have close ties. There is a lot of anti-Americanism within Lula's party/government.

No EF is coming off the production line with AESA nor will it till 2014 at least. It is 2010 not 2014. Trench 3 will have AESA. If u think u cant agree about the proof I have provided.

I think there is no discussion which aircraft performs best in a2a. But is that the most important factor ? And one should be fair to the Super Hornet. It has certainly the best acceleration at sea level and low speeds. Add to this excellent nosepointing cability and very competetive lowspeed handl...

May be he is talking about only western aircrafts!

I believe the SH has a smaller RCS than the EF. Which part of the avionics do you think the EF is ahead in? This is the same EF that STILL doesn't have an AESA roadmap Sorry, smart munitions have rendered this largely moot. SH carries more than the Rafale and has the largest range of weapons now an...

I would like to know one more thing. Which fighter will be able to move faster and will be agile with its peak load or may be at 50% of its peak load?

You will see that the t/w figures are calculated differently for each aircraft. For instance: MiG-35 = 39,600lbf afterburning / 33,069lb empty = 1.197 The SH is listed as having an 0.93 t/w ratio, yet it weighs less and has more thrust than the MiG-35! using the 'MiG-35 calculation' we get: 44,00lb...

afterburning thrust SH: 44,000lbf EF: 40,000lbf MiG-35: 39,600lbf Rafale: 34,000lbf F-16IN: 32,000lbf Gripen-NG: 28,000lbf Now yes, TO performance is also affected by weight, but the SH has the most raw power of any plane in the MRCA, which is what I said. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_MRCA_C...
