Dassault Rafale
Dassault Rafale - the Winner of MRCA competition.
Main article: Dassault Rafale

The Dassault Rafale is a French twin-engined delta-wing agile multi-role fighter aircraft designed and built by Dassault Aviation. 
The Rafale was brought in as the replacement for the Mirage 2000-5 that was originally a competitor for the tender,[33] after the 
production lines for the Mirage closed down, as well as the entry of much more advanced aircraft into the competition.[34]

The Rafale has the advantage of being logistically and operationally similar to the Mirage 2000, which the IAF already operates 
and used with great success during the Kargil War in Operation Safed Sagar. This would require fewer changes in the existing infrastructure 
of the IAF, which reduces costs. Moreover, being 100% French also provided Dassault a distinct edge over its competitors on the issue of 
technology transfer.[35] Dassault claims that the Rafale has an advantage over many of the competitors because it is not subject to ITAR restrictions.[36]

While not included in the MRCA requirement, the French fighter has more configurations of potential interest for the IAF: a carrier-based 
version (the Rafale M) and a capability for nuclear strategic strike. Both of these particular versions are in use in the French Armed Forces. 
At present however the Rafale M uses a catapult system (not present on the initial Vikrant) and the nuclear strike use is earmarked by others jets of the IAF.
[37] On 26 June 2012, it was revealed that the Rafale M (naval variant) could be used on a STOBAR aircraft carrier without any modification of the planes or 
installation of catapults on the flight deck.[38]

The French government has cleared full technology transfer of the Rafale to India, including that of the RBE2-AA AESA radar which will be integrated into the
 Rafale by 2010[39] and also the transfer of software source code, which will allow Indian scientists to re-programme a radar or any sensitive equipment if 
needed.[35] Without the software source code, the IAF would have to specify mission parameters to foreign manufacturers to enable configuration of their radar, 
seriously compromising security in the process.[40]

Dassault has also offered to fit the GTX-35VS Kaveri engine into the Rafale, which if chosen, would greatly improve commonality with the 
HAL Tejas that will enter service into the IAF by 2010. Concerns have been raised about cost issues as well as potential sales to Pakistan,
 which has also expressed interest in the Rafale. However, no such jets have been sold to Pakistan. India and France have recently agreed to 
"go beyond a buyer-seller relationship".[41] On 31 January 2012 Rafale was declared the winner of the MMRCA competition, beating Eurofighter Typhoon on cost.[42]
