India' is in discussion with 'France' for purchase of additional 36 "Rafale" fighter jets. IAF had shown interest and France has offered 25% discount. Having said so, the development was not announced officially just because of Fake 'Rafale' propaganda of opposition.

Interesting development .

They haven't yet received first batch.

They haven't yet received first batch.

Will start receiving from September 2019.

Probably on additional commissions without anymore questions asked.

Does the price reduction include the kick backs? I don't think this is official, it has go through another competition.

It wouldn't be a game changer. In the future the IAF will barely have a numerical and technical edge over the PAF forgot about the PLAAF. The IAF no longer has the force needed to fight a two front war with Pakistan and China.​

What's our counterpart? We cant ignore this development, corruption or not.

No $$$$$. Corruption has eaten away at Pakistan's ability to purchase these expensive military items.

JF-17 Block III with a new generation of advanced munitions in the hands of good pilots using good tactics. IAF Su30MKI's, Rafales, Tejas would be foolish to underestimate it.

And, India keeps on revering their jets over their pilots, cows over human beings etc....

25% discount? means at least that's how much Modi made in the first deal.

None, our focus is on the block-3

 

[IceCold]

None, our focus is on the block-3

And your take on the capabilities of both these aircrafts?
Rafale specifications are pretty known and block 3 although still in progress but we know it will hopefully be equipped with an AESA radar, HMD, maybe even PL-15 but it will always somewhat limited interms of its small space to incorporate major equipment.

That is the impact of 1 day chitrol. Had it lasted for another 2 or 3 days the IAF would have asked to replace their whole fleet with Rafales
