If this is true, buy Anil Ambani group shares http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-rafale-deal-is-defence-s-make-in-india-landmark-2076968

What’s unique and progressive about this deal is that Rafale may be working with a private Indian company to build 90 planes. Rafale project was earlier stuck because of the manufacturer Dassualt’s reluctance to bank on a PSU’s competence as it was being forced to work with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. Now with the new deal (and the new government) the contract will go to a private defence manufacturer. The Indian government under UPA was insistent that the French manufacturer guarantee timely deliverance and quality of the plane by the Bengaluru-based PSU, something the company was not willing to do. Finally, the deal is set to take off with these issues out of the way.

You might want to check up on those current unit costs from more reliable source than wiki, last I read updates on this F35 (JSF program) it is the world's most cost ridden, overblown defence program ever and current unit cost (at 2015) are well in excess of US$200 million. The full rate production of F35s has been delayed by over 10 years beset by technical problems, and f35s hasn't even got a in-service track record to meet India's urgent demand for combat ready planes.

Ghauri was a guy who raped and pillaged people who lived in the region that forms pakistan today a few hundred years ago' date=' what is the logic behind naming your missiles 'Ghauri' 'gazini' etc ?[/quote'] Correct.They were Afghans.Infact Afghans protested againist Pakistan trying to hijack their national heroes. The problem is that present day Pakistan hasnt produced a single Muslim ruler of much repute.They cant accept their Hindu past so wont talk about a Porus.Only option is to steal heroes of other countries.

Akbar was of central asian origin.His lineage is traced to Taimur.Babur was the king of Ferghana in Uzbekistan.Till the very end the court language and the language mughals used in the household was Faarsi.There is not a single muslim ruler whose roots are from Pakistan.Infact except Tipu Sultan you wont find a single muslim ruler whose roots lie in Indian subcontinent.They were all from Afghanistan/Persia/Turkey/Central Asia.

True in 1965. Since 1971 to now' date=' 20% of iaf will obliterate paf. Our pilots are way better trained, our equipment is way better.[/quote'] Not true...the exaggerated claims from the pak side has spoilt the issue. there is a long running dispute between aviator john fricker and the indian side on the issue...western aviators like fricker had close relationship with the PAF and their views highly influenced from their side. the fact is till the end of the war, the IAF operated as far as peshwar on Pakistan soil and Pakistan was desperate for spare parts ...not exactly the sign of air superiority. the best that can be said they were still operating on their own territory wheras iaf was active on both also they could not take their losses being a much smaller air force The war was instigated by Bhutto precisely because he calculated that the situation was good for the Pakistan armed forces to grab Kashmir and indian armed forces were in the midst of expansion...Pakistan was perceived to be in advantange at the time.. but the result was they were left battling for survival in the end.

Not true. Delhi sultaans after the khiljis were afghan families who'd settled in india for centuries. Jahangir was half desi because his mom was hindu. So was shah jehan. So aurangzeb was 3/4th desi Sent from my GT-S5830D using Tapatalk 2
