dna exclusive: 100% price escalation on Rafale fighter aircraft to Rs 1.75 lakh crore likely to dent IAF's strike capability

India’s biggest deal of procuring 126 medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA) for $18 billion (Rs90,000 crore) has hit rough weather. Two years after French aircraft maker Dassault Aviation bagged the deal for its Rafale fighter jets on account of being the lowest bidder, its cost has now shot up by 100 per cent.
In January 2012, when Rafale was declared the winner, its price was quoted between $60-65 million (Rs373-Rs400 crore). A top defence ministry official said the price of a fighter jet made by Dassault could now cost $120 million (Rs746 crore). The second bidder, Eurofighter, had quoted $80-85 million (Rs497-Rs528 crore).
The price hike would mean that the deal would cost India nothing less than $28-30 billion (Rs1.75 lakh crore-Rs1.86 lakh crore),” said an Indian Air Force (IAF) official, who is privy to discussions of the cost negotiation committee.
The defence ministry headed by AK Antony has developed cold feet after the cost doubled compared to the original estimate. With the general elections just months away, Antony is unsure about the fate of the deal, a defence ministry official said. “As the negotiations continue, the cost is spiralling out of hand. It is a major worry,” he said.
An IAF official said that in 2007, when the tender was floated, the cost of the programme was $12 billion (Rs42,000 crore). When the lowest bidder was declared in January 2012, the cost of the deal shot up to $18 billion (Rs90,000 crore).
Eighteen of the 126 planes will be purchased directly from Dassault, while Hindustan Aeronautics Limited will manufacture the other 108 under a licence, at an upcoming facility in Bangalore.
The IAF, which is fighting its depleting combat strength, was banking on Rafale as this was going to be the force’s leading fighter plane for the next four decades. “With chances of the MMRCA deal getting inked appearing dim, there seems to be no
solution to the immediate problem of shrinking squadron numbers as existing aircraft are forced into retirement,” said another IAF official.
The air force is seeking to replace its ageing MiG-21s with a modern fighter and MMRCA fits between India’s high-end Sukhoi-30MKIs and its low-end Tejas LCA lightweight fighter. The IAF has a sanctioned strength of 45 fighter jet squadrons. However, it only has 30 squadrons operational as old aircraft have been retired.
阵风单价6500万，这用膝盖想都不可能啊。不过涨价100%总要有点理由吧？估计印度提出很多系统升级和技术转移要求，法国趁机涨价？
这个6500万美元显然不是一架真正可用于作战的战机，谁也不知缺了多少软硬件。要想得到一架配置齐全的战机，迟早要花到法国人要的价格。1亿美元是最起码的，1.2亿乃至更高也不稀奇。
配件，哈哈配件价格，肯定要宰死印度的。哪怕合同规定了配件价格都没有用，人家可以停产换型号涨价嘛
想打仗？加钱~
书不同文，车不同轨。
那一亿人基本上全说英语吧
英国文化协会的统计，印度的英语人口不到5%，也就是说印度只有5500万人口能说英国文化协会认可的英语。BBC几年前就有文章说中国的英语程度超过了印度，对错另算，但至少英国人已经不认可印度的英语了。
印度人英语标不标准，一点都不重要，能应付交流任务就行了。
咱们说中文标准吗？考普通话能过吗？但交流有问题吗？
英国文化协会的认证值几卢比啊？
这头肥牛看得见吃不着啊！
如果按照国土来划分的话，印度国土辽阔，土地肥沃程度更是超过中国。印度历史上也颇有一些实力强大的大帝国，例如孔雀王朝，笈多王朝，德里苏丹国，莫卧儿帝国。这些都是当时世界上数得着的大帝国。
如果按照民族来划分的话，这些帝国的统治者有些是本土的，有些是外来的，但是进入印度之后，却都留了下来，成为了印度的一部分。这些外来者一波又一波进入印度，然后一波又一波沉沦，又都留在印度，成了印度人。印度，那就是个超级大染缸，甭管你刚来的时候是啥样，最后都得被印度染成它的模样。
例如前面说的那个印度王子，是莫卧儿帝国的后裔，现在当然自认为印度人，而不会自认为蒙古人或者土耳其人，更不会自认为波斯人或阿拉伯人。
注: 莫卧儿帝国的创始人自称成吉思汗的后裔, 帝国的官方语言是波斯语，但是统治者是信奉伊斯兰教、有察合台汗国贵族血统的突厥化蒙古人。
印地语才是印度的官方语言, 英語只是第二附加官方語言
要知道，印度所有的大学教材和研究生课程都是英语的
当印度人知道中国用汉语完成研究生教育，他们一脸惊奇
