Like i said, youd be surprised at the speed with which India's dealings with Israel takes place. They are not accompanied by the usual pre buy hype that this or that is being bought. Its simply bought then the first details are released. But this is something quite important, if IAF makes noises that there arent enough AWACS, govt will get it ASAP.
In either case, the Phalcon deal is already signed and this would be a follow on order, not a new order(you know the difference-no new tender, negotiations, etc, etc), and by the previous deal, India can buy 3 more Phalcons from Israel.
You are right but its called REPEAT ORDER not follow on order in most countries. It means within one year of delivery of goods you can place a repeat order without a tender. However India would be prudent to place it only if the Phalcons and Israeli deliver what they promised.
