In exclusive deal, India to get ‘Most Advanced’ F-16 fighter jets by 2019-20

[RoadRunner401]

Indians are also getting f-sola

Gripens would come as a JV for Tejas.

SU-35s would come as Super Sukhoi upgrade.

Typhoons have been left out for Pakistan. They are too expensive for India.



There would be plants in other countries like Turkey but the LM is looking at India as its main base facility providing the new sales and upgrades to F-16s going forward.

I am sure India will find place for Typhoon as well.

We will not fall in your trap , we will eat daal roti ( and chicken sometimes ) and buy only Tejas and more flankers

Let's have 2-3 squadron of all types of aircraft. This way we can handle any type of threat .and all types of technology. Assign each squadron to states .. mini air forces within air force.

And we can have military exercises within these teams all through the year

RAFALEs vs SU-30MKI to know how they would fare against Chinese SU-30 MKKs

RAFALEs vs Super Sukhoi to know how they would fare against Chinese SU-35s

RAFALEs vs F-16 V to know how they would fare against Pakistan's F-16 Blk 52s

MIG-29s vs Mirage 2000 to know how they would fare against Pakistan's Mirages

MIG-29s vs Tejas Mk2/Gripen to know how they would fare against Pakistan's JF-17s

Article says LM is searching for land in india to set up the manufacturing base.
Then why is the news yet so hush hush ? Where is the offiicial announcement, official press release ?

 

[Local_Legend]

Somehow I think that .... This gonna be a sticky thread .

 

[SpArK]

F-16 is a bad choice.

Wonder why Boeing is not aggressive?

This could just be a deal between Tata and LM without any MoD involvement? I mean just how foreign car manufacturers make cars in India, LM probably wants to manufacture fighter jets in India
