The effect is that the Typhoon can permanently pull 9G turns supersonically, whereas the Rafale cannot. This clause is expected to boost indigenous defence production with joint ventures with local partner firms and licensed production. In terms of BVR, both are equal.
The Typhoon is more expensive than the Gripen but in terms of logistics and support, the cost is comparable to the Gripen other than jet fuel consumption. But, it compromises the agility of the plane at high speeds. 2007: Congress asks for jets from multiple vendors 3. 2007: Dassault and Eurofighter qualify.
Lets hope for the best.3.
It’s one of the best 4th generation fighters out there. The Eurofighter is primarly an air superiority fighter (with the option to fit for multirole purposes), while the Raphale in the original concept has a major focus in tactical support for ground forces (with the option to fit for dogfighting just in case). When comparing these two European fighters, Eurofighter is a bit better, apparently thanks to a little more advanced avionics and technology, such as Euroradar CAPTOR Radar.Although the Rafale can carry more weapons that are connected to the 14 points of connection (and even nuclear weapons), Eurofighter carries something better weapons, especially in the case of air-to-air missiles.Rafale is armed with air-to-surface MBDA AM-39 Exocet anti-ship missile and MBDA CVS401-Perseus (in the future), while Eurofighter carries AGM-65 Maverick, AGM-88 HARM, Taurus KEPD 350, Storm Shadow / Scalp EG and Brimstone…10. Weapons, Logistics, Supplies, and Indian Enhancements would have cost more, taking the price of 126 Typhoons to €25+ billion.Also Eurofighter does not hold any significant advantage over the Rafale. © 2020 - Comparison - BVR - Dogfight. [5] Also, as part of the deal, the multimode AESA radar technology will be transferred to DRDO for application on UTTAM AESA radar.The deal comes with a 50% offset clause which means that Indian companies will get business worth over €3 billion and generating thousands of jobs in India through offsets. You are not looking at the aircraft while buying it; you are looking at the whole package; including initial expense and maintenance cost, weapons package, radar, source codes, economic and political benefits, support during crisis, dependability, etc.Eurofighter is manufactured by four different countries, and is also armed with US missiles, where even if one gives a slip during crisis, you may end up with a bunch of expensive aircraft with nothing to do.Rafale and Sukhoi, as are the F-35 and Gripen, made by a single country.
Thus, negotiations never took place between Indian Govt and Eurofighter.Two other nations, Qatar & Egypt, also bought Rafales.Qatar’s deal with Dassault for Rafale fighter worth €6.7 billion includesMeteor Missiles,Training for 36 pilots and 100 Mechanics.Thus for Qatar, according to this report, the cost per unit of Rafale was €279 million.Egypt, too, bought 24 Rafales worth €208 million each, along with MBDA missiles.Now compare, Indian deal of €192 million per fighter, with the above two. He added that he deemed the Rafale to be the best and most complete combat aircraft that he had ever flown. Meteor missile is a Beyond Visual Range missile of 100 km range and provides a no-escape zone three times greater than that of a conventionally powered missile in a head-on engagement. It’s more nearest opponents would be the JF17 and the FA50. However, France and Russia have been reliable suppliers for us; although the Russians squeeze us for every rupee, the French are more supportive (but of course they sell even to Pakistan).The Indian Air Force also is a satisfied user of long standing of French fighters, going back to the Dassault Ouragan in the 1950s.
Rafale weapons payload is 9.5 tons and its manoeuvrability and avionics are superior. The FA50 is everything the Tejas aspires to be, it carries the same ra But once dogfight begins, you better be in the Rafale.9. Rafale is however a better bomber.12. Rafale is better than typhoon in all areas and all confrontations year were fatal for the typhoon (atlp, solenzara etc … ) Dassault fighters are considered among the most efficient in the world in terms of combat even if they are not bigger.
The Rafales will also be fitted with MICA missiles, an Air to Land precision missile of more than 300 km range.The deal also includes the cost the full weapons package, performance-based logistics, India-specific enhancements and associated supplies.“€138 million per unit for 126 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft against the €197 million for each of the 36 Rafale jets New Delhi agreed to buy from Paris.”In the Rafale deal worth €7.87 bilion, India got -36 Rafale fighters,Mica Missiles,Meteor Missiles,Full weapons packages.’Performance-based logistics,India-specific enhancements and associated supplies.While, €138 million is only the price of a single Typhoon, that too, if India had bought 126 Typhoons, which could have cost a whopping €17 billion.
