India is seeking a new foreign engineering consultant on Naval LCA after the initial contractor, Lockheed Martin, failed to win US approval on the consultation contract.
This makes Indians to stay away from US fighter bids on MRCA competition since they just experienced the difficulty of obtaining necessary tech transfer approval from the US government. With prospects of US fighter selection unlikely, it is now a battle between Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen NG, and Mig-35.
In the mean time, India announced that they are buying 50 more Su-30 MKIs to raise the total to 280. < link > |
