"The Ministry of Defence viewed the Rafale deal as an opportunity to give the Indian private sector HAL-like capabilities full control over technology integration and future upgrades much like what India enjoys with the Su-30MKI. Having been bitten once by the Scorpne deal the MoD understands well the modus operandi of most foreign OEMs. From Dassaults perspective creating a future competitor in the global market one with Indias skilled manpower available at a fraction of the cost is not in their interest. Naturally this makes negotiations long and complex. Meanwhile the Indian Air Force faces"

"Imported or not the Indian Air Force needs more fighters urgently. Surrounded by two nuclear-armed adversaries maintaining just XX squadrons is unsustainable. All imported options are at least five years away while indigenous alternatives are likely another XX years beyond that. The 3.5-year delay in the AMCA program has already cost us dearly. Now the IAF must chart a decisive action plan. This will be a test of the highest order one with no simple solutions only tough choices that will shape Indias airpower for decades to come"

"As per current IAF definitions the LCA Mk2 isnt classified as a medium category jet even though it will outperform current mediums like Mirage 2000 & MiG-29. Over time the definition has shifted. (Scope creep) Today IAFs medium means Rafale or Rafale+. P.S: Su-30MKI payload 8000 kg Rafale 9500 kg"
