INDIA TO BUY RAFALE?

INDIA TO BUY RAFALE?


“It’s the biggest fighter aircraft deal since the early 1990s,” said Boeing’s Mark Kronenberg, who runs the company’s Asia/Pacific business. India’s planned multi-billion dollar, 126+ plane jet fighter buy became a contest between Dassault, Saab, MiG, American competitors and EADS’ Eurofighter.

"We have a procedure as per the defense procurement policy that stipulates the contract goes to the lowest bidder," Marshal Norman Anil Kumar Browne told the US monthly Aviation International News at the Singapore Airshow.

The race for the world's biggest fighter jet deal which ended on Tuesday saw the French Rafale fighter emerge as the winner. The Indian Air Force will buy 126 fighters from France for Rs 52,000 crores.The Rafale fighter jet built by the French firm Dassault emerged as the lowest tender in the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) competition beating the only other rival Eurofighter.The Rafale has been selected thanks to the aircraft's competitive life-cycle costs and top-level operational performance. Negotiations will include important technology transfers guaranteed by the French Government. The realisation of the Rafale project will illustrate the depth and scale of the strategic partnership between France and India.The Rafale is an Omni role fighter which means it can carry out ground attack, air defence and reconnaissance roles. It can carry anti-ship, air to air and air to ground missiles. It is powered by two engines adding to reliability. It can also carry nuclear weapons.Air Marshal PS Ahluwalia said, "This deal is very good for the Indian air force we actually started a process in 1998 it has continue till now and coming 10 years till it conducted in air force it decently increase the potential of the air force and also of Indian military it will contribute to national security."The fighter does not yet have the sophisticated AESA radar which will enable tracking of multiple targets simultaneously. But air force sources said it is currently under development in France and will be given to India. Technology transfer and offsets will be critical to successful conclusion of contract negotiations.The irony is Dassault had informally offered India an advanced version of the Mirage called the Dash Five including its assembly line nearly a decade ago. The offer included some Rafale fighters too. The Air Force and Defence Ministry in their infinite wisdom refused what today will cost more than 52,000 crore could have been had at a far lower cost.

Iran Air Force- F14 Tomcat

Penggunanya hanya 2 negara sahaja. Iran dan US. Grumman F-14 Tomcat adalah merupakan sebuah pesawat dua tempat duduk berkelajuan supersonik, berenjin berkembar serta mempunyai sayap geometri boleh ubah. Peranan utama F-14 adalah sebagai platfom pesawat penguasaan udara maritim, pemintas bagi pertahanan angkatan laut dan pengawasan taktikal bagi Tentera Laut A.S dari tahun 1974 sehingga 2006. Pesawat ini juga melaksanakan misi-misi serangan tepat setelah dilengkapi dengan “Sistem Navigasi dan Sasaran Inframerah Aras Rendah pada Waktu Malam” (‘’Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night’’ LANTIRN).F-14 Tomcat dibangunkan selepas kegagalan projek F-111B, dan merupakan pesawat 

pejuang pertama dari siri F-1X Amerika Syarikat yang direka dengan mengabungkan pengalaman dari pertempuran udara semasa Perang Vietnam menentang pesawat MiG. Pesawat ini memulakan perkhidmatan dengan Tentera Laut A.S pada 1974 bagi mengantikan pesawat F-4 Phantom II. Pesawat ini juga telah dieksport kepada Tentera Udara Imperial Iran pada 1976. Penggunaan F-14 dalam perkhidmatan Tentera Laut A.S telah dihentikan pada 22 September 2006, dan peranannya telah diambil alih oleh pesawat F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. Sehingga tahun 2008, pesawat ini dipercayai masih digunakan oleh Tentera Udara Republik Islam Iran.
Aku sangat suka akan design F14 Tomcat ni...forever!!!

Actually all the remaining 59 plus F-14A have been upgraded and their air worthiness is now extended for IRIAF beyond 2020. They are also armed with a mix of locally produced AAMs like the Fattar (AIM 9X) to Vympel R-77's. The avionics, ECM and HUD are all new with much longer BVR radars.

Iran shows off upgraded F-14 A fleet with new weapons and avionics

The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) says it currently owns a new generation of F-14 fighter aircraft with domestically-built radars and improved engines.

The Iranian fleet of Grumman F-14 Tomcat aircraft was purchased from the United States during the late 1970's. Iran received 79 jets and used them extensively in the war with Iraq, losing only a few and achieving a kill ratio of 1:6. IRIAF started the F-14A upgrade progam in 2002 under project Khorshid. The current fleet with over 50 operational jets boasts Iranian made Fatter (AIM 9X) and Phoenix AIM 54 BVR missiles.

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the US has placed an arms embargo on Iran, which includes the sale of new F-14 aircraft to the country.

Aziz Nasirzadeh, a top IRIAF official, described the current Iranian fleet of F-14 as “completely overhauled” aircraft.

He also said the aircraft have been improved so that they now own a new generation of bombers which could not be installed before. The fleet life has been prolonged to well beyond 2020.

The US announced in January 2007 that sales of spare parts for F-14s would be suspended due to concerns that they could end up in Iran.

Nasirzadeh said Iran was now capable of producing radars for the F-14s and improving the aircraft's engine without dependence on imports.

He added that Iran was now moving on the road to “independence” in producing aircraft parts as the country does not expect foreign countries to provide it with supplies.
