It remind me the KCX. Airbus came with a project that was not even a tanker (see the MRTT that have to be designed entirely to become something with some Military use). With such a trend, the wall is just on the next corner for their aero Industry.
I’d avoid talking about KCX, a market stolen to the winner by a thieves administration…
GaN LTCC T/R modules are due to commence series production @ a facility (owned by the russkie maker of the World’s most capable IADS), by 2017. It appears they’re in a race with DARPA, the Europeans (thru lack of funding & political will) have been left behind.
So basically you are saying Russia offered something that do not exist yet… At least Europeans produce GaN modules actually flying… Who is late?
It says $59m is less than half. so most probably price is higher than $120m. and these are fly prices.
(i) bold part : pure speculation.
(ii) you do not know how much india has already paid for ToT. Compare apples and oranges plz. If you want to talk about fly away cost of Rafale, they are perfectly known and publicly sourced on Sénat website.
After factoring all the rest, the cost is upwards of $160 mil.
Pure speculation, we do not know what is included. Btw, the original sentence of Parrikar is that if MMRCA was to fail, India wouldn’t be completely deprived and may order more MKI.
