EF is already over burdened and unable to sustain cost and demands of its own requirements. already several Typhoon jets are grounded and virtually out of service only to provide parts to other working typhoons. Situation has become canibalistic, where some planes have to be grounded to run other planes. and their price is also very high at least by 20% compared to Rafale.<br />2) Saab Gripen is actually the jet which should have got this deal but, right from Engine to Radar they are dependent on US, and US being jealous, and undependable natured we cannot suffer indirectly, as US itself pitched their own jets, we cannot expect them to support Saab to get this deal.<br />3) Rafale is far superior to all other jets in the competition, eventhough EF Typhoon is More powerful and capable to Rafale in A2A, supercruise, but they are second to Rafale in A2G, Reconnaissance operations and Rafale's AESA Radar is also ready.<br /><br />And Rafale is the only OmniFighter available at world stage, not even the USA F22 is called omnifighter. And India never dealt with European union when it comes to Defence, but French, they are our friends from past.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16641097218920380819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365979109096059381.post-26401102257820120542011-04-04T13:56:02.516+02:002011-04-04T13:56:02.516+02:00Yes optimistics but Rafale is not bad either, we c...Yes optimistics but Rafale is not bad either, we can trust French as they are our allies from past. <br /><br />Even after India modified Mirage jets during Kargil war according to their requirements, which is outside the original contract between India and France, but France let India do it. as they felt rules are meant to be broken in friendship. which has given India an added advantage in Kargil War.<br /><br />If you compare with other MMRCA contenders, Rafale is the only Omni Fighter, which can take all missions instantaneously either A2A, A2G & reconnaissance. it can act as both defence and offense in a single mission.<br /><br />And it fits beutifully between upcoming Tejas MKII and Sukhoi 30 MKI.<br /><br />The price is on higher side, but at least 90% of Rafale is French made so US can never interfere in between, and can never try to play spoilsport. <br /><br />And in many ways Rafale is better than F 16 and F 18. infact F16 is no match to Rafale, not even in dreams. and F18 could not lock Rafale in its radar, not even once in their joint excercises.<br /><br />By the time F 35 is ready, India will also be ready with PMF(Sukhoi SU50 - Perspective Multi Role Fighter) which is far superior to F-22 & F35.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16641097218920380819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365979109096059381.post-26731342329792146582011-04-04T04:12:55.249+02:002011-04-04T04:12:55.249+02:00Here are links to the articles in question.
