Jet Fighter Deal - India and Dassault

This is in continuance with my earlier Post where I mentioned that India is increasing its defense power because of its giant neighbor China who is still far superior in defense technology as compared to India.



India has chosen Dassault Aviation SA for 126 Rafale fighter jets. I must say this is not for defense but for offense purpose. There will be a time when India will be consider as one of the superpower during future wars. Though I hope such situation doesn't arise. This is certainly one of the greatest fighter jets deals in Indian history. However, James Hardy, Asia-Pacific analyst says "Financial pressures on India's government could seriously complicate the chances of this being signed any time soon, in particular the depreciation of the rupee. That and the standard contractual wrangling that occurs during Indian procurement deals could cause delays stretching to years."

Also some scams or scandals might happen with such a huge deal. In India, anything is possible.
