Eurofighter Typhoon

Economictimes.com & Reuters
Germany's defence minister recently held out the prospect of more talks on a possible sale of Eurofighter jets to India. PM Narendra Modi had in April announced a deal in France to buy 36 Rafales from Dassault.
India has since said the original tender, launched by the last government to acquire 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft, is all but dead, but rival jet makers are hoping the $14 billion tender will be reopened.

The Eurofighter, made by Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain, was knocked out in the final round of the tender by Rafale.
Germany has taken the lead in the sales pitch to India for the Eurofighter, made by Alenia Aermacchi, a subsidiary of Finmeccanica, Airbus Group and BAE Systems.
