[QUOTE="ac_marshall, post: 145830, member: 10236"] Greetings, There are multiple dimensions involved in finalizing the deal along with the cost of the aircraft. The following additional factors other than the key combat capabilities in my opinion could have led to the shortlisting of Dassault Raphael and EADS Typhoon. i) [B]Political Situation and reliability of Supply:[/B] There have been blooming defence ties with the US after Sep 11 attacks and panoramic business gains. But the ties with US have not been to an extent of military alliance. US supplies F16s to Pakistan, India's arch rival. Indian Navy has however given good business to US with maritime surveillance aircrafts and transport aircrafts. Though the Russian MIG-35 can outperform any other competing aircrafts, reliability in terms of supply, promptness in adhering to timelines have not been up to the mark. Availiability of spares has been a major problem. Sukhoi Beaureau has been quite prompt but not MIG atleast with the Indian airforce. Indian Navy has given good business to MIG with the aircraft carrier borne fighters i.e. MIG 29-K (a very close variant of MIG35). ii) [B]Familiarity of the aircraft to the rival:[/B] Saab supplies Eireye AWACS to Pakistan and the RADAR signature of JAS39 Gripen would be familiar making it an easy target if Eireye is deployed in the combat theater. Same would be the case with F16s also. iii)[B] Cost of overheads and dependencies: [/B]An aircraft would require frequent service and spares. The crews require rigorous training. Establishment of service facilities and workshops also depend on the type of aircraft, manufacturer's technology, extent of availability of design details.
