ce ne sont pas les fournisseurs d'aeronef qui s'occupent des rétrofits ? (point de vue client, j'parle pas du soutraitant qui va effectivement bosser dessus)

Par exemples, Dassault vend le rafale a l'inde, dans 30ans, celle-ci veut faire une modernisation, elle ne s'adresse pas à dassault ?

GENEVA - Switzerland's Pilatus Aircraft is about to sign a record deal to supply 75 of its successful PC-7 trainers to the Indian Air Force for 850 million francs ($1 billion), according to a press report June 18.

The daily Le Temps, which described the contract as the biggest in the company's history, said it could eventually be extended to as many as 200 of the single-engine turboprop.

Pilatus declined to comment on the report that the trainer had been selected as the winner of offers invited by India two years ago for a new trainer.

More than 500 PC-7s have been sold across the world to air forces and private customers.

Ben.. y en a qui arrive à vendre quelque chose à l'Inde !

Le contrat de rénovation des M2000 patine encore.

les Indiens se demandent si cela vaut la peine de mettre 3.9 M de $ dans 52 cellules qui ont déjà 30 ans.

1M$ d'armement

500m$ d'infrastructure

46m$ d'update par avion.

Va-t-on vers un MMRCA de 178 avions?

ou bien Rafale + 2000/9 ?

Cette hypothèse est parfaitement crédible et tout les parties seraient gagnantes .

En effet les plus vieux Mirages 2000/9 émiratie n'ont même pas 15 ans et sous utilisé (j'ai lu quelque part que les pilotes émiratie étaient presque tous des réservistes qui s'entrainaient que le matin et l'après-midi, ils allaient bossé dans la finance dans leur immeuble de verre climatisé ).

En plus, ce mirages sont encore plus modernes que ceux de notre armée de l'air, en occasion ils seraient nettement moins cher que 45 millions d'euros.

Biensur thales va faire la gueule car c'est la moitié d'un contrat juteux qui part à l'eau.

By PIERRE TRAN • PARIS– India has set demanding requirements for industrial offsets in its fighter contest but Dassault is ready to negotiate on the deals, executive chairman Charles Edelstenne said June 17.

The Indian request for tender including offsets which were “very tough,” Edelstenne told journalists ahead of the Paris Air Show which opens June 20.

It will be “very difficult to answer to this request. We want to be chosen; we will negotiate on this subject,” he said.

Dassault’s Rafale has been shortlisted alongside the Eurofighter Typhoon in India’s medium multirole combat aircraft competition for 126 new fighter jets.

Edelstenne said the United Arab Emirates might be the first to decide on its fighter purchase, ahead of Brazil.

The present efforts in debt reduction by certain countries has led to postponement of new defense programs, but Dassault had taken a decisive step in India and was still being considered in the UAE, Brazil and Switzerland, Edelstenne said.

The Rafale was also being considered by other undisclosed countries, a company executive said. The French government has made export of the Rafale a “priority” because of the perceived importance of the fighter industry in political, technological and economic terms, and also because of the domestic budgetary needs, Edelstenne said.

France has written into its defense budgets export of the Rafale, and if those foreign sales fail to appear, funding must be found from other defense programs to finance an annual output of 11 aircraft, the minimum deemed for economic sense.

Quel est l'interet ?

Combien de temps va durer l'integration ?

Qui va paye l'integration ?

Qui prendra le risque d'intégrer une nouveau moteur sur rafale, au moment ou le Rafale affiche ses 30000h dans l'AdA?

- Pour l'inde ? Avoir son propre moteur dans ses avion, fierté nationale et totale liberté sur ce sujet, sans dépendance.

- Pas notre problème

- Eux

- Eux

C’est une possibilité pour eux, ils ne sont pas obligé d'y recourir, mais vu l’intérêt pour eux, il est probable qu'il le fassent.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-20/lockheed-may-pitch-f-35-to-rejoin-11-billion-india-jet-contest.html

Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) may offer its latest warplane, the F-35 stealth fighter, to India in a bid to rejoin the Asian country’s $11 billion combat-jet competition after its older F-16 model was eliminated.

Lockheed’s chances of offering the F-35 for the 126-plane order were boosted last week when the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee asked the Defense Department to study the “desirability and feasibility” of a joint strike fighter sale to India, said Patrick Dewar, senior vice president for corporate strategy and business development, in an interview at the Paris Air Show.

The Senate committee report accompanying the Pentagon’s 2012 budget “opens the window to fifth-generation fighter technology release to India, however the Indian services want to deal with it,” Dewar said.

The Senate committee request for a Pentagon study on selling F-35s to India was part of a broader amendment on U.S.- India military ties offered by Senators John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, where the fighter is produced, and Joseph Lieberman, independent of Connecticut, home to United Technologies Corp. (UTX), which makes the plane’s engines.

Cornyn’s spokeswoman, Jessica Sandlin, said the amendment was “overwhelmingly adopted” by the Senate defense panel. Cornyn is the co-founder and co-chairman of the Senate India Caucus. The provision is a so-called “Item of Special Interest” that takes effect immediately after the bill report is issued. It doesn’t need House approval and “takes effect regardless of what happens to the bill itself,” she said.

MiG-Replacement

Lockheed’s F-16, based on a 30-year-old design, was eliminated in April from the six-way Indian contest to replace its aging fleet of 1970s-era MiG-21s, along with Boeing Co. (BA)’s F/A-18 Super Hornet. On the shortlist are Dassault Aviation SA (AM)’s Rafale and the Eurofighter made by BAE Systems Plc, Finmeccanica SpA (FNC) and European Aeronautic, Defense & Space Co.

The competition is one of the largest in recent years and also attracted bids from Russia’s OAO United Aircraft Corp. and Sweden’s Saab AB (SAABB), which offered the Gripen. President Barack Obama had lobbied on behalf of Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed and Chicago-based Boeing.

“I certainly believe it’s possible,” Dewar said when asked if the potential F-35 offer could lead to the Indian Air Force reopening the contest. India “might think differently about the competition” should the stealth jet become available.

‘Succumbing’ to U.S. Pressure

Admitting the joint strike fighter to the bidding at this stage would be “contrary” to India’s weapons-acquisition procedure, said Mrinal Suman, an arms-procurement adviser at the Confederation of Indian Industry in New Delhi. “It’s too late in the day,” he said. “It would be seen by many as succumbing to U.S. pressure.”

India’s air force considered the F-35 in “very informal discussions” at the start of its bid to upgrade its main fighter jet force, said Kapil Kak, a retired Indian air vice marshal who is a director of the Centre for Air Power Studies, a New Delhi think-tank. The plane’s “developmental time scale was unacceptable” because the air force needs planes that can be available as soon as possible to raise its fighter force from a current 30 squadrons to more than 40, Kak said.

Indian defense ministry spokesman Sitanshu Kar couldn’t be reached for comment.

Most Expensive Program

The F-35 jet is still in development. At an estimated $382 billion, it is the Pentagon’s most expensive weapons program. The U.S. Government Accountability Office has said the planes cost about $133 million each in today’s dollars. The Pentagon plans to buy more than 2,400.

Buying F-35s at $133 million each would boost India’s cost in acquiring 126 fighters by about 50 percent, from a currently estimated $11 billion to almost $17 billion.

While a sale of F-35s “would certainly raise concerns in Pakistan about India’s capabilities, they have bigger, amazingly complex challenges ahead of them,” said Kak. As India modernizes its military with an eye on China’s growing capabilities, “it’s in our interest not to score points against Pakistan,” he said.

India has tripled its defense budget over the last decade as it looks beyond its rivalry with nuclear-armed neighbor Pakistan, with which it has fought three wars since both countries gained independence from British colonial rule in 1947, to counter China’s rising power.

T-38 Partnership

The Senate defense panel’s request to study the F-35 sale to India was part of a broader provision that would require the Obama administration to prepare a “detailed assessment of the current state of U.S.-India security cooperation.” The bill seeks a five-year plan for more joint military exercises, defense trade and support for India’s military modernization, homeland security and coastal defense, and maintenance of secure sea lanes of communication.

The lawmakers also asked the Pentagon to study the possibility of a U.S.-India partnership for development of a replacement for the U.S. Air Force’s T-38 trainer jet. The planes, built by Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC)’s predecessor, have been in use since the 1960s.

India has bought several U.S.-made weapon systems, including C-130J transports made by Lockheed, and on June 15 signed an order for 10 C-17 transport planes made by Boeing valued at about $4 billion.

Corruption Scandals

In April, when India shortlisted the European jet makers, V.K. Kapoor, a retired lieutenant general in India’s military, said the choice was driven by technical merits.

“It was a by-the-book technical assessment that the American F-16 and F/A-18, despite their upgrades, are not future-generation aircraft,” Kapoor said in April. “They can remain current for another five or 10 years, but this deal is going to determine the operational capacity of our air force for the next 30 years.”

India’s arms-buying process has been slowed by officials’ sensitivities over corruption scandals in previous purchases, including one that helped drive Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s Congress Party to defeat in 1989 elections, according to Rahul Roy-Chaudhury, senior fellow for South Asia at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.

Singh’s government already has seen its legislative program stalled by opposition protests over alleged official corruption in the sale of telecommunications licenses and in last year’s staging of the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.

- Pour l'inde ? Avoir son propre moteur dans ses avion, fierté nationale et totale liberté sur ce sujet, sans dépendance. => Donc repousser aux calendes greques

- Pas notre problème => si "veut" vendre du Rafale, c'est aussi "notre" probleme

- Eux => ils savent pas si ils prennent un EF-2000 ou un Rafale, et certains imaginent un moteur de conception indigene dans un Rafale, non mais laule quoi!

- Eux => bénéfices pour leur armée de l'air?

Je ne vois pas pourquoi. L'important n’est pas tant les délai que la possibilité d'une telle intégration.

- Pas notre problème => si "veut" vendre du Rafale, c'est aussi "notre" problème

non, c’est le leur, c’est leur moteur et eux qui détiennent les clé de son planning, pas nous.

- Eux => ils ne savent pas si ils prennent un EF-2000 ou un Rafale, et certains imaginent un moteur de conception indigène dans un Rafale, non mais mdr quoi!

C’est justement l’intérêt, l'EF2000 ne peut pas sortir cet argument.

- Eux => bénéfices pour leur armée de l'air?

Houlà, si tu connaissais le marché indien, tu saurais que l'IAF n'a pas vaiment sont mot à dire, sinon, la politique d'achat serait très différente : un contrat aurait été signé pour des 2000-5 il y a une décennie, et le Tejas aurait été envoyé à la poubelle.
