Rafale DH/EH of Indian Air Force : News and Discussions

NO.
Now that DA has chosen Panwati Ambani, they will have to guarantee the aircraft built at DRAL as and when it happens and if it at all happens. Bcoz the production will be under their control as per their standards and quality control. This was not the case with HAL. HAL wanted complete freedom but wanted DA to take responsibility. Its like a person asking someone else to take care of his children. Why and how can anyone agree to that?

yeah.....I don' think even you believe that. HAL did not want to take responsibility so we asked Dominos Pizza to make a fighter jet. Why didn't all powerful Modiji call up MOD and say 'Ask HAL to guarantee the quality and stanrds of their build'. Surely that is just a phone call away. God knows the IAF makes them walk the plank on stuff a lot lesser than this. This is rigging...plain and simple.
 
Its not China alone. Please include F-16s and JF-17s which Pakistan added during this time. The total is approx 400 aircraft.

True, but does it matter? Where is the common sense, in cutting down numbers, by arguing the enemies have inducted more than twice the numbers we wanted and even with superior technical capabilities? Isn't that a reason to buy all 126, if not more?

therefore the better option is to give it to a guy who has no expereince in...anything...? if 'push comes to shove' why won't you give to HAL nonethless- I'd prefer someone who built 250 Sukhois including many built locally over some one who has no expereience in anything.

Apart from your obvious attempt to ignore the fact that modi rigged the whole thing for ambani You are seriously underestimating the future implications of this. Ambani has a clear business model now- he is stepping away from consumer businesses and moving into governement controlled utilities and monopolies. His strategy is pretty simple- enter sectors like power/ defence/ water and utilities and create monopoly situations. After that start jacking up prices and squeeze public money for profits. And because he is by then in a controlling position no one can deny him what he asks (apart from bribing politicos). He took over electricity distribution in Delhi - when AAP cut prices by 50% did delhi government go bankrupt? did any power company go bankrupt? this *censored* gets control of defence deals, he will push up spares and maintaience and prices b 30% using all kinds of excuses? You think you can prevent it? Or you think he's in this for charity?

Can you explain why Govt of India
Could not complete the Negotiations
In MMRCA 1

Negotiations started in 2012

Then after 2014 Modi Govt also tried for one year

The MMRCA 1 terms and conditions were
Impractical

no- isn't the reason why they didn't want to complete negotations obvious?
 
We lost 3 years in Negotiations in MMRCA 1

IAF was getting screwed

Dassault only had to play a waiting game

And they got a bigger order ,36 planes
Compared to the earlier 18 Fly away planes
 
there was more TOT in the 126 deal than anything modi negotiated. Are you trying to mislead by pointing what offsets is coming ? Tell IT team to train you better.

No you are lying , that is what you Congi goons do

The one and only mistake is to involve that
Panvati Ambani

Otherwise this deal is hundred times better

The opposition is also picking out One Company from the 70 odd companies
That will work with Dassault
 
work share was completed. And price negotiations 'complted' is 40% more than what was proposed before.

That's not entirely correct. Yes the work share issue (that was the he first one Dassault made up) was cleared by 2014. But neither UPA, nor NDA reached a final stage in the the negotiations, because Dassault refused RFP rules..

The only official info on the total costs remains DM Parrikars statement about 90.000 crores.

The figure Ajay Shukla is referring to, is said to be the initial bid of Dassault in the MMRCA.

And to sum it up, Congress asked if the flyaway Rafale in the MMRCA was negotiated at a cost of 526 crores per unit and if that wasn't cheaper. But so far, there is no confirmation of the hat figure. We know however that the flyaway unit cost for the Rafale deal was 670 crores per unit.

Only the Fly away costs in both the deals
Can be compared

Which is 9 percent cheaper in the Second deal as Trappier said

The Rest will come out in CAG report
 
Fly Away cost in the Second deal is 9 percent cheaper

Wrong, Trappier stated in recent CNBC interview, that the flyaway cost would be the same for the 18 in MMRCA and 36 in the Rafale deal, but that the "package" / total cost, would be 9% cheaper compared to the MMRCA. None of this can be confirmed however, without disclosing costs.

actually it was not that UPA could not reach final stages of negotiations. They decided not to reach final stages for obvious reasons.
 
The real question is
Did we ever conclude the PRICE negotiations in the First Deal

Or we were only talking Technicalities , Work share , Guarantees , Liabilities , Man hours
 
IAF gave 3 options to Govt in earlier
MMRCA 1deal

1 Continue negotiations Indefinitely

2 Withdraw RFP ie MMRCA 1

3 Buy 36 off the Shelf

Process that lead to cancellation of MMRCA and decision making for the Rafale deal =>

Where does it say anything about a request, or an option by IAF for 36 Rafales?

The real Gain in Any deal is TOT and Domestic offsets , which help Domestic industry and manufacturing

That is where Two deals can be compared

Other wise even Saudis Buy planes worth Billions

there were more domestic offsets in the UPA deal. Saudi buying planes is better than Modi buying planes.

Nope, they had the same problem that NDA now gives as reasons too. Non compliance to RFP and production costs. And both governments should had shown more strength against Dassault, instead of letting them being played for 3 years.
