MOD EDIT: corrected spelling Chinese.


The Chinese effort to malign the Rafale fighter post Sindoor simply has not worked

India will nail it's mast to Rafale in big big way in fact 30 billion dollars worth ...

Not only 90 Rafale
But post 2030 about the time Pakistan receives small no's of J35
India will look to procure the Rafale F5
Frances officially entry full network fifth generation warfare with unmanned wingmen the Neuron
India will be the first customer ...

Now Putin is in India pushing Su57 license production with heavey transfer of technology
Russian weapons were superb during Sindoor
Brahmos
S400
Su30mki
All played big big roles
But the news is India will delay the Su57 and pour money Into Amca
And Tejas mark 2

Fewer combat types better networking it's good decision combat proven already integrated platforms makes sense

I don't think they held much hope for the Indians

Rafale is top level fighter jet. India needs atleast 100 and then go for 200 su57s.

 

[Pakistanithinktank]

India will start retiring Jaguar and might consider SU-57 and Rafale. Russia offered investment opportunity to India for SU-75 (still under development).

 

[Guynextdoor]

I had absolutely no doubts. It works and financially makes most sense. Like the Su 30 family, this will replace all medium class jets in the IAF- Mig 29, 27, 23, Jaguar etc.

which is why Rafale is winning orders left, right and centre over the last few months.

As usual Indian with their ppt and wishlist, but in reality hasn't induct a single Tejas for five years, while the rest of the world moves on, not on ppt or keyboard.

Even PAF said Rafail is a top jet, just not employed correctly by IAF. Regardless its performance was so poor in Sindoor that some customers like Indonesia have had to rethink. Nothing to do with China’s ‘propaganda’ as the likes of copers like Harpy would have us believe, everything to do with getting shot down all over the place without apparantly even getting a shot off.

Does it count when it's from the same country?

What happened to your China rivalry? Fifth generation this century?

Let's not lose sight of the real issue.
