Re: Vayusena & Nausena Rafale: News & Discussion

My only hope is that there is some deal which Will help ave our local engines for LCA Mk1A, Mk2 and AMCA, atleast that will get us a bigger fleet, I hope UAE Rafale MRO is part of this deal, so we will eventually have 176 Rafale between AF and Navy. There seems 0 involvement of IAF. Now there may b...

Re: Vayusena & Nausena Rafale: News & Discussion

led. The numbers of 114 is insane. It must have been max at another 24 or so. Just to make sure there is some induction of fighters when the MK2 starts getting inducted. IAF fight with?

Foreign AESA, Foreign Missiles, Foreign Sensor, Foreign engine. How is Rafale a viable platform? The same engine issue and whole lot of other issues exist there.

Re: Vayusena & Nausena Rafale: News & Discussion

I will point out where the IAF is failing. Take the case of MK2. The progress is going on. We all know the risk of engines. Have the IAF ever proposed a dual option to atleast test some French engine also as part of the prototype? One or two more prototype created for testing the French engine? Ever...

Re: Vayusena & Nausena Rafale: News & Discussion

So if the Rafale is cancelled and when the balloon goes up between now and 10 years (when Kaveri gets ready), what will the IAF fight with? At best you are looking at a few upgraded Super Sukhoi squadrons, Tejas Mk1A units, two Rafale squadrons. Not sure if the Mirage 2000I/TIs, MiG-29UPGs and Jagu...
