Diplomacy: Dassault in the Lead

Issue: 01-2008

We are very happy to know that our customer is serious.

Aviation major Dassault is competing for one of the biggest contracts for fighter aircraft in recent times—it is one of the six contenders for a $10-billion (Rs 39,530 crore) IAF tender for 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA). During French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s recent visit to India, Dassault’s Chief Executive Officer Charles Edelstenne sweetened the offer by proposing to sell the licence to India after the IAF inducts the MMRCA. Our market is for countries that want to be independent of the US. We are a country which sells military equipment without any preconditions, Edelstenne is reported to have remarked of his company’s stakes in the proposed IAF deal.
