the most advance jet at the competition,but the mig-35 is the most maneuverable,so its a tough decision for india,but the mig-35 is clearly on india's mind right now,its cheap n probly can be upgraded wit modern avionics to match future threats,but those avionics n datalinks must be from the west,so buy a ruski airframe n incorporate western avionics on it,that seems like a good deal ennit,eurofighter can be upgraded too,but its too expensive me thinks,u can get 3 migs wit only 1 eurofighter..

you are correct. India would prefer a Russian Airframe and Western Avionics.

That being said, India's trust with Russian products is decreasing. Unfortunately, selecting a Russian plane will give them very little political edge.

In India, the Mig's are tainted.All Mig's have had some troubles. Sadly, The "Tainted Mig's" brand follows Mig-35 as well.

All that aside, Mig 35 and Typhoon are what I would say the best planes in the competition right.

The EF should not be underestimated . At the Typhoon Meet 08 in Spain shown in this Vid, 7 EF fighted in a skirmish against 27 other planes among others F-18s,F-16s, Harriers II,Tornados etc..The seven Typhoons scored 27:0!!

No use of this video right now... with it's current title.

F-35 is cheaper and better than this, so probably that.

Rafale for the win, in every dogfight, the Rafale won against Eurofighter.

There is a marine version of Rafale and no one for the Eurofighter.

The Rafale cost less than Eurofighter.

The hour price is about 35 000 € for Rafale and 70 000 € for Eurofighter.

Eurofighter needs more technical support for every flight than Rafale.

In every competition, the Rafale get a better mark than Eurofighter.

In Swiss, Rafale get 8/10, Typhoon 6/10 and Gripen 6/10.

Best choice = Rafale.

can somebody tell me the name of the music which plays from 3.10 in this video pls...?????

[kaustubhupadhyay1998]

the EF is great and i think IAF shud buy EF but the Rafale meets our needs better i think the IAF will be mad enuf to get rafale

[Loic2659]

I think that the decision is just politics so India risks to choose the typhoon because there are several countries in the buissness nevertheless the rafale is better

Latest today (26 April 2011) is that Ministry of Defense down selected Eurofighter Typhoon and Dassault Rafale. Teens, Mig and Gripen out. Bye, bye teens.
