If it were high voltage , chances of it's combustion was high. Then @BMD would get a chance to comment on poor French build quality beginning with cars like Renault.

All that's just statistics. You are applying peacetime statistics to wartime performance.
8 hours per flight hour is over a long period of time when the aircraft is down for full servicing. An operational aircraft won't require 8 hours, it can manage many days with just 1st level maintenance, maybe not even that.

Shocking.

- Case N°1 is not a case of war, it is the normal case in France in times of peace.
- Case N°2 is not a case of war either, it is a case where we want to temporarily compensate for an insufficient number of available aircraft. With the Rafale it is enough to have the same number of pilots and maintenance technicians as if the aircraft you need were actually available.
- Case N° 3 is a war case, and the organisation I propose is a wartime organisation. Because you can't last a month doing only first level maintenance.

Owner of Dassault aviation dies in helicopter crash...
RIP...
Olivier Dassault loved France. Captain of industry, deputy, local elected representative, reserve commander in the air force: throughout his life, he never stopped serving our country, to make the most of its assets. His sudden death is a great loss. Thoughts to his family and loved ones.

Hope it is for new squadron at Hasimara
Air Force to induct second squadron of Rafale fighter aircraft in April
This squadron will be inducted at the Hashimara Air Force base in West Bengal.
Sources said the air force would be moving the fighter aircraft at Hashimara in May. Training of fighter pilots in France is also getting over around the same time, they said.
By the time the second squadron gets operationalised, the Indian Air Force would have more than 20 Rafale fighter jets.
In September last year, five Rafale fighter jets were inducted into the Indian Air Force at the Ambala air force base.
"The induction of Rafale jets is a big and stern message for the entire world, especially to those eyeing our sovereignty. This kind of induction is very important for the kind of atmosphere that has been created on our borders," Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on the occasion.
The multirole Rafale jets have been built by French aerospace major Dassault Aviation and are known for air-superiority and precision strikes.
The first batch of five Rafale jets arrived in India on July 29 last year, nearly four years after India signed an inter-governmental agreement with France to procure 36 of the aircraft at a cost of Rs 59,000 crore.
The delivery of all 36 aircraft is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.
Out of 36 Rafale jets, 30 will be fighter jets and six will be trainers. The trainer jets will be twin-seater and they will have almost all the features of the fighter jets.
With two squadrons complete in the next one year, the IAF's depleting fleet strength will get a push. These two squadrons with 18 jets each at Amabala and Hasimara have been planned keeping in mind the operations against Pakistan on the western front and China in the eastern sector.
Hasimara earlier had a MiG 27 squadron that has now been decommissioned.
Hasimara's is a strategic base for Air Force operations as its close to Bhutan. The Chumbi Valley where lies a tri-junction between India-Bhutan and China is close to Doklam where a standoff took place in 2017.
In case of an attack by China thrusting to cut off India's north region by targeting the Siliguri corridor Hasimara would be the crucial air base for a a counter attack.
The Rafale is considered an omni role aircraft, which means it can carry out at least four missions in one sortie simultaneously.
The rafale is battle hardened and has been used in Afghanistan, Libya and Syria and armed with potent weapon package the fighter jet is lethal.
If the need be Rafale can also be nuclear enabled making it more lethal.
The fighter jet is armed with potent meteor and scalp missiles that will enhance air strike capabilities and air dominance of the Indian Air Force.
The meteor is a beyond visual range air to air missile and Scalp is a long range cruise missile that can be launched from the aircraft for deep strikes to hit fixed and stationary targets.
The Indian Air Force will induct the second squadron of Rafale fighter aircraft in mid-April. This squadron will be inducted at the Hashimara Air Force base in West Bengal.

America and Russia are two of the countries having strategic bombers, the cost of operating them is too expensive.
The cost of 1 unit of B-2 is a billion dollars.
Our Himalayan neighbour is operating bombers,and they are fast approaching toba stealth bomber.
And as I said in my my post,you too are seeing economic feasibility,why don't you ask government to dismiss the entire defense expenditure,if you are concerned about economy?
How many Rolls Royces and Bentleys you have in your garage?
Don’t think too much about expenditures, it’s the luxury and Comfort only that matters.
So again How many ?
PS: Bhai ek kahawat hai Hindi main ki Bikhariyon ko sapne jyada aate hain.
Glad that you didn't bring similar argument on Rafale.
And nobody is interested in your sarcasm, give me any other reason other than economic burden for not inducting a bomber.
