Rafale-M Jets | India chooses French military assets over American ones | WION Game Plan

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to France, India’s military arsenal will soon boast of new French assets in the skies and in the sea with 26 Marine Rafale jets and three Scorpene class submarines.
Where will India position these new military assets? How are the Marine Rafales different from India’s current fleet of Rafales? And Why did India choose French jets over options which US was offering?
Watch Game Plan with Shivan Chanana.

India wants to avoid the sermon that comes with any American military purchases.

[@harshvardhan-tyagi]

can you please elaborate on your comment? I'm interested

[@adrien437]

​@harshvardhan-tyagi Americans often tell countries not to do this or that with weapons they bought from the US

[@subghrajputraghav]

​@@harshvardhan-tyagiAmericans place a password kind of system. You can only operate the jets you bought if Ameirca authorizes it. That's why Pakistan didn't dare use their F-16s in '99

[@user-uw4eq3ij6t]

Not fighters but technically making them available for flying all the time ( back-up) is more important. Russian fighters are available up to 60% it's numbers only ,due to poor back-up facilities. French had assured 90% availability of Rafeal fighters all the time. India is paying very heavily to France for these back-up facilities.

[@flaminmongrel6955]

it's all messaging to get the best deal out of US, they keep offering India the usual alliance deal where they will sell us their weapons and force us into a war we don't wish to fight, what we want is favourable access to their market otherwise the option of siding with the Chinese to threaten American interests in the region so they will be forced fo compromise their trade with India on unequal terms.

Why not join the FCAS program instead of going for a 5th gen fighter why not join france, spain and germany with building a 6th gen fighter instead. We could benefit from added manufacturing volume.

And guess what hat France is replacing those jets with lol….this is not the flex y’all tryna make it seem like🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂

[@Arleq1]

France is replacing the Mirage 2000 with Rafale F4 and modernising the Rafale F3 to F3/R standard (wich is approaching the F4 standard). And the current jet that are being sold to India are F4 standard of course.

[@Arleq1]

@@Hypersonic-es6vh wtf is the F4.2 standart? Never heard about. And for the f5 standart it will not come soon, not before 2030. The f5 standart should be able to fly with and to commanf a fleet of drones. The f6 standart is a possibility for the future in case the program FCAS fail.

But who is PAYING for the FRENCH AIRCRAFTS ??? AMERICAN TAXPAYER'S. period 1946-2012, India has been the recipient of highest aid from United States. The amount of economic aid, adjusted to inflation then, was reported to be USD 65.1 billion.
