    No probs. When they are sitting on the ground, in pieces, you will be glad you bought french. Also I see we are to stop giving India £1Billion a year in aid. In other news...Plans are afoot to close down the visa restrictions on Indian Nationals coming to the UK to study. I bet you are glad that French is a National Language of India, because it looks like that is where all the Indians will be going.

    The Rafale is the best fighter in the world. I don't even understand how someone can look at the Eurofighter, which is a wonderful true POS.

      Sorry, just to clarify, is that before they take off and needing repair, or after when they've been shot down by a proper fighter?

        Isn't that being just a little bit provocative. You know that this will wind the English up. Let's face it, that's trolling.

          Not really pissed off at losing the contract, because it will be late delivered and over priced and the aircraft will be unreliable and falling out of the sky. And as for the £1Billion in aid every year, even your finance minister doesn't want it (see here[^]) But the restiction of visas for foreign students is all down to politicking.

                                    WW1, WW2, French Indo-China, Algeria, Fench Congo, Ivory Coast, etc...Hardly great victories attained through air superiority. And even the Falklands were won by our Fat Lazy Harrier Jumps Jets and Tornado Strike Fighters rather than the Super Duper Étendard that the Argies used.

                                        Not really pissed off at losing the contract, because it will be late delivered and over priced and the aircraft will be unreliable and falling out of the sky. And as for the £1Billion in aid every year, even your finance minister doesn't want it (see here[^]) But the restiction of visas for foreign students is all down to politicking.

                                        IMHO, Even when Indians did not need this aid, it was accepted to placate some political class in England. And England assumed that, this aid would help in future trade talks like this one. But the ultimate losers were the Tax payers from England.

                                          So provocativing provoking the Englsih is forbidden now?

                                          In the same way that posting such a thread about Indians (or insert nationality of choice) would be as well. You deliberately set out to provoke a nationalistic reaction - and that's trolling.
