  1. The mmrca deal must be splitted in to two with both eurofighter and rafale having a order of 100 planes each, making it total 200. Now it has been learnt that india is not at all capable of making any jets with tejas delay. we can only boast of outsourcing, nano, diamond trade etc, but no defence products.

    The third generation Nag missile's final test will be done in Jaisalmer's Pokhran field firing range next week

  3. Spit the deal between Eurofighter Typhoon and Rafale.

    160 Eurofighter for IAF and 40 Rafale Strategic Command Forces.

  4. @ Anon 10:25 AM: atleast we are good at "outsourcing, nano, diamond trade etc," but no defence products – as u claim but u must remember atleast that making these products is far better than making atleast 100 suicide bombers and blowing up ur fellow countrymen, which Pakistan specialises in. Wish you a very Happy Dussehra, always remember that no matter what – the good always triumphs over evil, whether the evil has Patten tanks or F-16.. or whatever alms it receives from other countries..

  5. Damn Prez on her vacation with family on tax payers money…

    anyway…I heard fighter jet escort is given to those flights with persons of serious threat to a nation are traveling.

  6. i dont know why you guys are gung ho about rafale .. expect for the price euro fighter typhoon is a much better plane and perhaps the most advanced in the competetion.. and besides buying a fighter India is also looking for a strategic partnership with ef partners as India has alredy given France the scorpene deal it looks unlikely from that perspective for the rafale.. as the "spreading of the eggs in an number of baskets are concerned".

  7. The Rafale is already qualified and available for navy operation, nuclear strike ( human and system compatibility with highly radioactive warhead, specific very low level flight capabilities in all weather), real time reco, precision ground strike at + 50km, long range precision ground strike (cruise missile), long range bvr interception (meteor)….

  8. folks,
    How many baskets does one need to distribute their eggs in before you have a scrambelled egg mess? India is a capable country with strong solution integration skills. A nation (or company) does not need to produce the whole plane or product to demonstrate their prowess!!

  9. It's high time we bought the latest already delayed MRCA's. DRDO is already late is delivering 200 LCA tejas medium light fighters to the air force and regarding Medium combat aircraft, it's already way behind schedule. God knows when will DRDO learn from it's failures. Therefore the need of the hour for Indian policy makers right should be looking towards VISION 2050 which is innovation in weapon design, developmen,t delivery and testing of future weapons made either indegenously in the country or testing of weapon systems procured from abroad.

  10. Escorted our President or Scrambled on "security fears."
    The definition of word "Escort" depends on the country to country. We may feel "overjoy" or "excitement" over these "escorting" by typhoons. Or "Was there any uninvited passenger in that plane?"
    God Knows!

    One thing is certain. Indian politicians including our great, Oxford Educated, Doctorate Economist PM have any respect among the world leaders. I met an African student who is studying political science in US, says, Indian Leaders are idiots and a*&^%.
    What the western countries want from India, is the Indian wealth.
