But yet you are okay with importing another 24 more :) Since Rafale is bad, we should not purchase any more Rafale. Also retire the 36 we have now and cancel the 26 order for the Navy. Cancel everything. Because what you said above is equally true for the confirmed Rafales we have in service or on ...

The IAF at that time, may not be even thinking of upgrading the radar with Virupaksha ver 2/3 but asking for import of Fifth gen fighter since Chinese has 6th gen fighters and we are short of squadron strength while inducting MK2 in 100 and AMCA another 100. that is very much the reality. India has...

Also there is a hidden danger in the Rafale deal. It's the radar. Nowhere in the news the option to change radar is mentioned. After a decade when the need to replace the radar comes into picture, which radar are we going to replace it with? Upgrade variant of the Virupaaksha Ver2 or 3? If it can on...

The path ahead is all that matters. The reality is we do not have our own engine. So now we are importing fighters. The foolishness of that decision is the price to pay for not funding your own homegrown low-bypass turbofan. Rakesh ji, It's not just the past. It's Present and Future as well. There ...

Rakesh ji, Squadron strength. You want numbers? Mass manufacture MK1A's. Followed by MK2's, Followed by AMCA. Followed by ORCA etc in the 300's. Still it will be better than showing numbers with Mirage+Mig-29+Jaguar+Rafale. About leverage on engines, the more the numbers better will be your leverag...

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...

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? IAF not inducting Astra on time with Su-30 MKI has cost us? Who prevented them from that? Astra is in testing fro...

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.

uddu

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...

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...

Rakesh ji, the purchase is like one step ahead and two steps back. If engine is the only thing that is the issue, resolve that dependency in the decade to come and we are a free nation. Meanwhile create variants of the same Tejas with different engine choices and certify it. Even for export, you ca...

I have a feeling that the Rafale deal for IAF may not happen or will be cut down to 2 or so 3 squadrons. There is a greater chance of Su-57 coming than Rafale.
