Slartibartfast 153 Posted September 20, 2010 Well if the Rafale is out I think the only jet left is the Eurofighter... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abhi 3 Posted September 20, 2010 Well these r just rumors IAF sources say they even haven't opened the bids,only field testing is complete. and to all who think Mig-35 will win this,i bet even gripen can win this competetion.still u ppl think why the Indians,err im too Indian.ok so we Indian floated the tender to get western stuff,otherwise dont u think ordering more sukhois wud be better than a Mig-35. Mig was allowed to convince Russia that we r not playing bad game(which we are),we dont want to depend upon 1 country,The PAK-FA is already going on with Russia. The choice for Tejas engine clearly shows our priorities only western engine manufacturers were approached , not any single Russian engine maker was approached,whoever wins this contract will hv a significant impact on MMRCA selection procedure.

JediMaster 451 Posted September 21, 2010 It makes good sense from a strategic view to dual source from east and west, even if it causes logistical headaches and added financial burden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abhi 3 Posted September 21, 2010 Yes thats true,and u get best of both worlds, see in case of indigenous delhi class destroyers,hybrid approach was followed. imparting best tech from both worlds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
