Why Rafales and not Su57 chosen

[onlinpunit]

In the same way you acquired ToT for the Su30, the "raptor of the east"? They seem to be pretty useless if you need to replace them with rafales.

I think so far many posters have tried to give you some amount of information regarding the types of Jets IAF want. But you should be proud of youn utterly dense brain !!

If only you had rafales

The thing most Indians cannot explain is, what the "TOT" for Rafale will teach them that the much much deeper TOT for the Su30MKI failed to teach them?

Numbers wise

150-175 Rafales
250 su30/Mki and super Mki
250 Tejas fighters both mark 1 and 2

By 2035

Just before Amca arrives

India doesn't need 5th generation yet. 150 Rafale, 250 Su30MKIs and Tejas are enough for Pakistan Jf17s, J10s and F16s. India needs to first replace all older planes and then go for 5th generation. 2035 is a good time to move on from 4th generation.

They won't have access to the source codes

The French have truly squeezed India

Imagine paying all of that...

Rafales are enough to defeat the J20 according to indians. When the J20 appeared, their ACM claimed they tracked the J20 across the border

Guys I don't understand the outage and negative comments this deal should have taken place decade ago..

The 114 Rafales will take on role of
100Jaguars and 50Mirage2000
Jags passed out by 2030
Mirages by 2035...

The mig29 are as old as Pak F16s battered airframes around 65planes they will be replaced by Tejas Mark 1a second order of 97 planes ...

The current Tejas mark 1a is replacing the 100Mig21 already disbanded for safety reasons
These should have been delivered all 83 by 2029

By 2035
250 Su30mki and super Mki
150 Rafales F3/4/5
180/200 Tejas mark1/1a

That's 600 planes against need of 750 so that's where both Tejas 2 and Amca come in

Or some are saying .

60 Su57e as interim option for fifth generation...

There is no secret or out of the box plans here thinking about this historically

When Pakistan brought 40 F16s in 1990
India ran to Russia and France
Acquired
40 Mirage 2000
60 Mig 29m

IE Russia and France

They are going back to tried and tested option Rafale and Su57e

It's so obvious

Not the list again, how are you going to have that 150 Rafale when the contract is not yet signed, even you did the delivery will start on 2032.

 

[lightning f57]

bigger kickbacks with those Rafales - to answer your question.

Where did you read delivery starting 2032..
You mean license assembly starting 2032 I think
18 to be delivered in three years of signature from France
Tata to build 24 fighters a year from 2032
36 in service now
26 Marine Rafales arriving 2029 signed last year

You do the maths clever boy it's 152

10 years is long time
France is highly efficient European nation they deliver on time unlike Russians who are stuck in Ukraine war

This is another reason why Rafale was selected

 

[flyingorca]

Ordrr for Around 160 Tejas MK1 A is already placed.

In 2012 i heard the same thing that LCA MK1 will be mass produced by 2014.

Show me where stop talking rubbish
Show me where you saw this
Mark 1 passed initial operational clearance 2016 your trolling now

 

[flyingorca]

Your Airforce bases were decimated by french scalps and hammers
And India only had used 14 planes out of 36

Try stopping 175 Rafales not F3 versions
But F4 and F5

You think half baked cheap J35 numbering 30 planes is gonna stop this storm

Good luck

Decimated? The main asset of those bases were in their HAS, why disnt India dare to touch that section of the air base?
