India's MRCA fighter program just awarded the contract to France's Dassault Rafale for 126 to 160 fighter aircraft. The Eurofighter was a distant second and the Americans and Russians were knocked out of the box on cost concerns. Moreover the Russians are still and seemingly forever struggling with reliability problems. Swedens Gripen was never going to make the grade.

So you can see the value of bombing Libya to showcase the capabilities of the Rafale. 18 of the planes will be built in India under license. A kind of test bed to see if they can do it. I suspect no, this won't work.
