India Considers Buying 126 Eurofighters From Germany

MOSCOW, September 8 (RIA Novosti) - India may acquire 126 Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft from Germany, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported Monday.

Indian and German officials are once again negotiating a multibillion-dollar deal for the delivery of 126 German-made fighter jets to India, the agency reported, citing German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

India and Germany previously discussed a similar deal, but India decided against the Eurofighter jets in 2012 and chose to acquire French-produced Dassault Rafale combat aircraft instead. However, an agreement has not been reached so far.

The value of the possible contract is estimated at 7.6 billion euro (about $9.8 billion), according to the agency. Eurofighters are produced by the Bavaria-based Eurofighter GmbH company.

Steinmeier is currently in India, where he has been in talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. The topics under discussion were trade, investment, high tech cooperation and renewable energy collaboration, according to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs.

The problems are plenty

1)Its not as capable as rafale........indian evaluation and swiss evaluation reports clearly state that
2)Still no working aesa,,,,god knows when captor aesa will hit the production
3)Air to ground role limited relative to rafale and we need multi role aircraft and not a sole air superiority one
4)Its controlled by 4 nations and with uk being one of them there is always a risk of future sanctions due to its relationship with usa.

As we all know uk is just a pet poodle of usa nowadays,,,sad really

The recent rumor is that India plans to induct 126 J10B from CHina, of which 100 of it will be produced in India with TOT. CHina also agrees India's payment proposal by rice and curry.

J-10B is cost effective so with this cost the numbers will be adjusted to 200-250 if practically you considered this.

Look, you just will have more choice if we are not hostile.

Rafale is way too expensive. you will have to consider it if EU want to cut it out.

aren't you just little exaggerating over U.S control over the U.K and E.U. I know the whole mess with Ukraine screams puppets of U.S, but a strong India to counter balance China is what we want, so no sanctions.

AESA I bet they are working on one right now for Typhoon
A2G is limited, but later tranches are fixing that.

still IMO the Rafale is the best option.

Those won't be the reasons not to do it. The IAF shortlisted the EF along with the Rafale on technical parameters, so the only difference is price. There has been some news of the EF countries offering a reduced price but it remains to be seen if that reduction makes it really worthwhile to change the final preference. I hope the reduction in the EF's price forces Rafale to do the same. If the EF price is substantially lower than the Rafale, there is no reason whatsoever to give it to the French. The amount of money being spoken about is ridculous. Any reduction will be most welcome.
