Pentagon backs proposal to give US fighter jets ‘Make in India’ tag

[zebra7]

Coca Cola even doesn't own any production line , others doing it for him . it is only supplying one chemical in salt foam to be mixed into the water.

Coca Cola owned their own production line, being purchased from the Parle, its the Pepsi that don't own any plant in India, and get them manufactured from the local companies.

 

[Areesh]

That is what i cleared in the immediate next post when you asked me to prove you wrong. I was never saying YOU were wrong or was I?
As for Areesh or anyone you have any problems with, take it on with them or report the post or tag me or any mod or anyone to that post but do that THERE not here. Calling or judging people to be trolling based on what @Areesh said or did do not makes much sense!

Let this guy whine. Mods have not given much attention to his whining. And neither should you.

 

[Michael Corleone]

so india interested in this?

 

[salarsikander]

The F-16 was rejected for political reasons in 2009.

It doesn't say anything regarding that. clearly you have seen the final result of mMRCA and the criteria that was set by IAF for that matter, otherwise you would prove you stupidity

 

[illusion8]

Really? A couple wings of a ground-based fighter for the Navy?



That sentence is a no-brainer alright. Wouldn't brag about it though.

Really, guys , write slowly without emotion : it helps.
Sorry to have had to pointed it out, Tay.

Yeah. I heard as much, Possibly for remote bases.

Will USA able to sell us 200 fighters in a matter of 5 years? Our fleet strength is depleting and Tejas production rate is not good enough to fill the gaps. In a two front war we may need huge number of fighters. While Tejas, Migs and Mirages fight Pakistan we can have F-16, MKI ready for China. A second production line by a private firm for F-16 is OK.

I am interested in AESA, electronic warfare and Aim-120D.

Guys, Any idea about the specs of F-16 Block 70? Cost?

From earlier in this post every F-18 costs about $100 million and F-16s are close to the $70-million mark each.

Hindustan times claims its $70 Mn

Other costs includes base infra, support package, training, spares, weapons, etc etc.. That will be over and above this $70 Mn

As mentioned here..

Is F16 70 =
F16 60 supplied to Arabs? .

Except for the radar I guess because that was developed with funding from UAE. Other things will remain same. Maybe some knowledgeable will provide better imfo.

No its different.. minor upgrades over block 61
Block 60
The Block 60 is configured with General Electric F110-GE-132 engines, Northrop Grumman APG-80 agile beam radars and a Northrop electronic warfare system.

https://www.flightglobal.com/news/a...ssible-deal-for-quotblock-61quot-f-16-395235/

The aircraft is also fitted with a Northrop Grumman AN/ASQ-32 IFTS (Internal FLIR and Targeting System) mounted as a ball turret above the nose) replacing the external pods used on earlier variants

The aircraft’s conformal fuel tanks (CFTs) let them carry more fuel, with less drag than underwing drop tanks. All that fuel feeds GE’s new F110-GE-132 engine, which produces up to 32,500 pounds of thrust to offset the plane’s increased weight. The -132 is a derivative of the proven F110-GE-129, a 29,000-pound thrust class engine that powers the majority of F-16 C/D fighters worldwide. Even with a bigger engine and more weight from added sensors, CFTs, etc., Block 60 fighters offer a mission radius of 1,025 miles – a 40% range increase over F-16s without CFTs.

For the Block 61 (upgrade package for Block 60)
- targeting sysem / IFTS
- Datalink for MADL F-35 compatibility. .
- IR threat warning systems upgrade.
- EW package.
- Lightweight SABR AESA radar.

 

[HAIDER]

A production line fot F-18s
A production line for SU 30 mki/FGFA(in futue).
A production line for Rafale..

It happens only in India.

Just production is not enough . Find the buyers . Lots of countries can produce excellent product. But, world is short of buyers. Wars taking news shape and new weapon. Heavy bulky weapons are disappearing.

What makes you think they will reveal the true reasons ? It ain't the cost.

And that you know, right? Halfway across the world
