I have my fingers crossed... but as per my info... the Italian lady is poking her nose into this deal and have instructed the defense minister to ensure that EFT wins... India may become a partner in EFT program and an MKI like upgrade is possible after having few squadrons of EFT... since the EFT consortium will not allow their machine to deliver nukes rafale will be used as the platform... it will also help to keep these two birds out of the reach of others in Indian sub-continent...

This one is probably going to EFT. My hunch is based on diplomacy - based on the fact that after the $35 million per piece for the upgrade of mirages, it doesn't make sense to buy more from them.

Plus mirages can do the task of nuke delivery pretty well.

No offense buddy but its just opposite to what is their on the web. According to major newspaper the Italian Lady is close to Carla Bruni and thats why she is pitching for Rafale.

There are two flaws in what you are proposing :
1) First IAF don't wanna increase the types of aircrafts on the contrary they are trying to reduce and by what you are proposing we are just adding one more type of aircraft. If IAF will go for EFT, either EFT consortium will give up to our demands to use it for nuke attacks or Strategic command will go for Su30 mki and the new batch of Su30 mki which costing close to EFT is considered to be for Strategic command.

2) By buying just 40-60 rafale won't stop French to sell it to our neighbors. We will either have to give P75I to france but its not likely as it was planned from before that one line of SSK will be Russian so it will be either S1000 or Amur 1650.
Infact if we really wanna not to be in a situation in which EFT faces Rafale on our subcontinent then we should buy Rafale as EFT is way too expensive for our neighbors.
