MMRCA 2.0 - Updates and Discussions
- Thread starter Picdelamirand-oil
- Start date
A little less than the Charle de Gaulle aircraft carrierLooks like the entire serviceable airforce
I supposed if we couldn't get F-35's and Dassault was financially gracious to my Swiss bank account then yeah I'd likely take/select Rafafles too.Would you take 18 Rafales?
Negotiations for the MRFA must take place, as leaks claim that Dassault has offered to supply 114 MRFA in 5 years (at a rate of 2 per month) if it is allowed to take 100% control of DRAL.

They are not journalists, nor do they have access to any insider information.
In India, detail like these are leaked to certain exclusive defense journalists. We all know who reports them. It's not that hard to figure out.
These kids are clickbait fiction writers. If there are any real truths, meaning insider info, they will be tried under the Official Secrets Act.
HAL director will be a traitor, if he recommends import over his own product.
If Gripen E & F16 can participate in MRFA, why Mk2 can't qualify for the requirements
If Gripen E & F16 can participate in MRFA, why Mk2 can't qualify for the requirements
That's actually a reasonable say.
If jets getting shot down by Mig21s are allowed to participate, why not Tejas Mk2, successor the the jet designed to replace Mig21s.
Rather he should stick to timeline & stop advertising a lemon as demon.
I wont buy this narrative, we didn't even heard anything even from abhinandan's mouth.
Even if its true, that kill is a wvr fog fiht kill. Mmrca is not a for a dog fight scenario.
because F16 and Gripen E are on duty, when Tejas 2 has not made it's maiden flight so far, and seeing how Tejas 1 fine tune was long and difficult, and the production rate low, Tejas 2 is a 2035+ solution at best.
Do u believe first MRFA will fly before Mk2?
If u exclude Rafale, others will be even more delayed.
Even Rafale, we are so slow.. Just don't know when Rafale M will be signed for Navy.
MRFA is about "not putting all your eggs in one basket". MK2 will not win MRFA just like why Gripen-E will not win it either because of their American engines.
It's Rafale or bust. No plan B. Period.
PS: Only deviation could be F-35( Block-4) or Su-57M. But both are very unlikely for different reasons. So, Rafale it's going to be and also Rafale it should/must be.
I am not saying if it's going to win or lose. I am just saying if F16 is gonna participate, why not Mk2? At the very least we will get performance comparison.
