The IAF really needs to up its game on the PR front and the Indian forces as a whole. Compared to the content avalible online for most leading armies India is seriously lagging. MoD is too secretive and I want more!!

The IAF really needs to up its game on the PR front and the Indian forces as a whole. Compared to the content avalible online for most leading armies India is seriously lagging. MoD is too secretive and I want more!!

Much more interesting are the articles and reports that the French MoD or navy brings out every now and then on their sites. Often with high quality pics too and that is something that I miss at Indian forces wrt PR.

I like that Airfighter with two engines. Its better then Eurofighter and f16 I wish that Azerbaijan buys something like this. I think India did good job.

News from Air & Cosmos :

-Indian negotiations are progressing relatively fast with about half of the mandatory point settled. The confidence that the deal could be signed is such that HAL is preparing a 108M$ investment to manufacture/assemble the rafale.

MMRCA decision seems to have influenced a couple of countries nicely. Yes! Algeria go for Raffy!

Don't think that has anything with the Indian decision, but with the French trying to find a customer for UAEs Mirage fighters. Without a customer that buys them, the UAE won't buy Rafale and that could be the real game changer for Rafale, because Algeria, Qatar or Kuwait might follow and buy the same version.
An Indian decision on the other side might influence Malaysia towards Rafale, which would be good as well.
