Subject: EADS Invites India to Join Eurofighter consortium
Softwar    4/24/2008 9:48:15 AM

The manufacturers of the Eurofighter Typhoon jet Thursday invited India to join them in building the multi-role fighter - a move that may help Eurofighter's chances in securing the country's 10-billion-dollar order for 126 combat aircraft. Four leading European aerospace companies, Britain's BAE Systems PLC, Italy's Alenia Finmeccanica and the German and Spanish units of the European Aeronautic Defence & Space Company, EADS Germany and EADS Casa, are part of the Eurofighter consortium.

"As part of our industrial cooperation offer, we invite India to become a member of the successful Eurofighter family," said Bernhard Gerwert, CEO of Military Air Systems, an integrated activity of EADS Defence and Security.

"India is our partner of choice and we are interested in long-lasting political, industrial and military relations which will be based on a win-win partnership," he said.

I don't see anything wrong with this really - although there are issues of technology transfer - it should help blance against China and their J10/11.

Indeed.  Guaranteed, my knowledge is limited concerning India's reputation for security issues and technology theft but I have not heard of any major gaffes on their part.  Still, sounds like a good idea with things like the J-10 and PAK-FA.

EuroJet are trying to sell them the EJ200 engine for their not so lightweight indigenous fighter (LCA?). If either sales pitch works, then it will help the other.
