In France, stopped the work of the company where they assembled Rafale fighters for India

Indian media publish materials that the delivery of Rafale aircraft from France under the previously concluded contract will be postponed. Indian journalists write that this became known from two sources in the defense industry who wished to remain anonymous.

The Hindustan Times reports that the decision to postpone the delivery was made by the French side due to the threat of the spread of coronavirus.

At the moment, in France, the production line of the aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation is completely stopped, at one of the enterprises of which they are creating fighters for the Indian Air Force. Quarantine at the French enterprise was initially announced until March 31, however, it is noted that, most likely, it will be extended for at least another 2 weeks.

Recall that India had previously ordered 36 Rafale fighters from France. As it turned out, the amount of the contract is such that each aircraft will cost the Indian budget a huge amount - almost $ 200 million. This, for example, is twice the cost of a fifth-generation fighter F-35. But in India, it was stated that this amount includes arms transfers, maintenance and training of flight personnel.
From the report:

The first batch of four Rafale aircraft was supposed to fly to a base in India in May 2020, but the plan was faced with uncertainty due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19.

The contact implied the delivery of a second batch of fighters to India by February 2021, and the final batch of Rafale by April 2022.

CEO of Indian Research Center aviation Manmohan Bahadur:

The transfer of supplies will not cause significant difficulties in updating the Indian Air Force fleet. I hope the air forces of the country deal with this situation.

Business only 2 weeks.
For Hindus, this is not critical when they arrive at the place they will wash the plane with cow urine and the coronavirus will not shine at all.

And then you will think there is some kind of "Rafale" ..... They have "behind them" - 5 thousand years of History .... And then some a couple of weeks .....

This is two weeks so far. How it will turn things around is still a big question.

By the way, yes. Given the impending crisis and the difficult-to-talk Indians, they may cancel the deal or the French will wobble and as with the Mistrals it may be. And if the United States imposes sanctions on the Indians for something, then it will be ah-ay with "Raphael".

[TermNachTer]

I think the mattress covers will not miss the opportunity to do dirty tricks to their European partners. At the same time, push the Indians in the right direction - the purchase of the F - 16 or F - 18.

Each time the infection is more vigorous. There was bird flu, then pig flu, SARS, now the coronovirus ... and then what? 50 years ago, people did not know about this all. For 100 years we have lived without such epidemics, and here over the past 30 years, it’s not a disease, but an epidemic. And you can’t write off all this just for bad ecology.

There was a plague. It is much worse than all these viruses combined. Even with the modern level of medicine.

The great plague was in the 17th century. But I'm talking about a period of 100 years. You look at statistics such as diabetes. 40 years ago, this disease was not very common, and now you can confidently talk about the epidemic around the world.

[AU Ivanov.]

Diabetes is not a contagious disease; there can be no epidemic here. This is, most of all, the costs of modern medicine, when the weakest became surviving. Natural selection has stopped working.

Influenza "Spaniard", 1918 In 1919 the League of Nations (the predecessor of the UN) was established by the Department of Health. Today is WHO.
About a third of the world's population was ill, at least 50 million people died, mostly from 20 to 40 years old. Those who had ENHANCED immunity, the body produced too many antibodies to fight the virus, which eventually destroyed the lungs. The person was simply choked with blood. Many died literally the day after infection.

Now look at the year when it was raging ... just the height of the First World War. And medicine was not an example of the current one. I don’t say anything about artificial respiration devices. That is why such a mortality has turned out. The great plague in the 17th century took away 100 million, and also for this reason, plus bad water, etc.

Mother Earth was dirtied, the air was poisoned, we drink poisoned water, instead of normal food we eat dust, chemistry and plastic meat. Well, how many different antibiotics, vitamins and dietary supplements. Such a breeding ground for bacteria viruses.

Spaniard is just a runny nose compared to what is happening now in Africa. You are aware that TWO epidemics are raging now in Africa at this moment, which have already claimed more than 2 million lives. Coronovirus in its statistics with this infection is simply a mild ailment. Google, be very surprised. However, nowhere is that gu gu.

The same question about "what do you consume" I will ask you ... what was the medicine then? World war was going on! What kind of artificial respiration were there, what kind of doctors were there who needed more than one or two for each patient? Was free medicine in Europe, ... my friend? What nonsense is that? If there had been a coronavirus in 1918, there would have been not 50 million, but a whole hundred, or even two. You need to turn on your head a little, buddy.

[Butchcassidy]

So where is the "light runny nose" if the infected person is more than half a billion people, of which 10-20% have died?
The level of medicine does not negate the severity of the disease itself. Moreover, they found out that "Spanish flu" is the closest relative of bird flu? This is a serious illness, not a runny nose.

Aircraft are becoming more and more complicated and expensive with each generation and improvement.
Once upon a time, thousands stood in service, now hundreds, dozens more go further?

Kickbacks see space there. It is not surprising that the Russian Federation lost the tender, we only dream about such kickbacks so far. Yes, far to Europe)))

[Incvizitor]

Kidnyak Hindus with Sumllets fully deserved themselves with scammers contacted, called "natural selection of suckers".

[Thrifty]

Is it force majeure, or can the Indians annul the contract and demand a penalty for postponement? I just can’t imagine to say, during the war, we stopped releasing tanks because of the massive flu! Diseases come and go, but a combat-ready army must always be had!

I wonder what skills Rafale won the tender at that price. Why is he so superior to competitors? Or did the French agree to transfer technology?

[iouris]

Is it true that the voice programs of Rafal do not understand the Indian English pilots of the Indian Air Force?

[nks]

not true. at least no one complained.

[Prisoner]

Did you dance? Now dance.

In fact, just the opposite is being reported that the first 4 rafals will arrive in India on time. Moreover, they were transferred to India last year - Indian pilots trained in France on them

And even if there will be a delay with these 4 sides, then it has nothing to do with the shutdown of the factory - this may concern only the following deliveries.
