India can no longer afford 254 to delay the conclusion of the contract for the purchase of 126 multi-purpose French Dassault Rafale aircraft in the amount of 25 billion USD, said the commander of Indian Air Force (IAI) Arup Raha middle of the week. After last month it seemed that the two sides signed the contract at any time for hunters bursts, it is obviously still some obstacles.
India has already issued a call in 2001 for the purchase of 126 multi-purpose combat aircraft, in August 2007, they began to consider the six foreign suppliers of aircraft - F / A-18, F-16, JAS-39 Gripen, MiG-35, Eurofighter Typhoon and Dassault Rafale. The latter came in the final selection, in 2012, the Indians opted for the French 254 Rafale fighter. To this day, the final signature complicate both for negotiations on čimugodnejši price, as well as investigations 254 of any corruption. Ever since India's decision to the French aircraft, however, continue to offer a Russian MiG as well as the European consortium Eurofighter. The latter would be particularly persistent, so no wonder the following statements Commander Raha.
"In 2012, India chose bursts because these airplanes were available at a lower price than the typhoon (now leveled price, op. A.). Current negotiations with the French company Dassault moving fast enough. Rafale is the first reach the finish line. It's too late to think about other options. The door is closed. "
Indian Air Force want to get a new combat aircraft as soon as possible (still using the old MiG-21 fighters, many accidents) and raises them above all the modern Chinese army. If India with the manufacturer Dassault signed a new contract this year, to the supply of the last planes waited until 2025, which makes you the fast modernization of Chinese Air Force, they want as much as possible to speed up the signing of the contract.
India detail coordinate 254 contract for the purchase of 126 French Rafale 254 fighter, said Indian Foreign 254 Minister Salman Khurshid and gave it to Paris but will have to wait a bit to open the champagne.
"We know how long French wine needs to ripen, so it is also with good contracts," said Khurshid after meeting with his French counterpart Laurent Fabiusom, "treating the details, the decision was taken, we are waiting only to burst stopper and you can taste a good wine! "
France will be decided first export 254 deal with rafalom for which they are looking for a buyer almost two decades, the project itself, but spent tens of billions of euros. If the contract is finally concluded, the first 18 Dassault aircraft supplied directly, the rest should be made by a licensed HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited), a state company in Bangalore in the south of the country.
Prohodnji week should, according to diplomatic sources, French President Francois Hollande visited the United Arab Emirates, where he will try to sell the Rafale fighters. As expected, probably on 15 January, the contract of sale will not, and probably will be on the widely discussed. In the French sources indicate occasion 254 and that there are signs of success.
After years of fruitless negotiations and bids were in the French Dassault Aviationu which somewhat surprised when at the end of 2011, the UAE was invited to prepare a bid for the European consortium Eurofighter (Typhoon aircraft), composed of British BAE Systems, Italian Finmeccanica and European EADS.
Dassault Aviation on 9 January this year took the new director Eric Trappier, but now it is intolerant expectation: in addition to waiting for India with an order for 126 fighters and move to the Middle East is hot even offer Brazil for 36 multipurpose 254 fighter planes 4+ generation.
French Defence Minister Yves Le Drian Jaen will this week visit to Delhi, causing speculation about the "state" of India's purchase of 126 fighter jets from France's Dassault. The tender 254 for the medium multi-purpose combat aircraft for the Indian Air Force won the French Rafale fighters manufacturer Dassault Aviation, which will replace the old Indian fighters MiG-21st However, more than 10 billion USD worth agreement for some time now stands on the site, because the Indians want a lower price. Military analysts estimate that the total value of the purchase of aircraft Dassault Rafale maintenance throughout its life could reach 10 billion USD. India wants a license to manufacture Rafale fighter?
In a deal with aircraft Rafale is included an Indian company 254 HAL to be transformed to meet the needs of the Indian aircraft pilots. Speech is also the fact that to Dassault Aviation supplied only 18 hunters, and the rest would be manufactured under license from the company HAL.
French Rafale was indeed selected in the competition, but the final quest
