I dalje aktuelni pregovori Indije i Katara...sad su izasli i neki detalji oko cene koja je izgleda mi glavni kamen spoticanja u pregovorima
Citat:On October 16, 2024, the Indian Defence Research Wing reported that the Indian Air Force (IAF) is evaluating the purchase of 12 retired Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets from Qatar, though negotiations have encountered difficulties over pricing. The discussions, initiated after the jets were offered in June 2024, are driven by the IAF's need to replace its retiring MiG fighters and improve its combat capabilities. The Qatari Mirage 2000-5s, which have been upgraded to current standards, could enhance the IAF’s existing fleet of two Mirage 2000 squadrons.
Citat:Price remains a significant sticking point in the negotiations.
Qatar is asking for ₹4,160,000,000 (approximately $49,920,000) per aircraft, while the IAF is seeking a price closer to ₹3,000,000,000 (approximately $36,000,000) per aircraft, which would include spare engines and additional MICA air-to-air missiles. Some within the IAF support delaying the purchase to focus on developing the domestically produced Tejas MkII fighter, which offers a projected service life of 40 years and could potentially lower operational costs. However, the Tejas MkII is still under development, and the gap it would leave in the IAF's fighter capability may require interim solutions such as the Mirage 2000-5.
The decision on whether to proceed with the procurement of the Qatari Mirage 2000s will depend on the IAF's analysis of cost-effectiveness, operational compatibility, and long-term strategic objectives. Negotiations continue, with both sides working to reach an agreement that addresses India's fighter jet needs within its budget constraints.
