India's MMRCA 2.0 (A deal to Procure 114 Jets from Forgein Vendors) is Dead

India Seeks Local Warplanes as Overseas Purchase Plan Stalls.

Indian Air Force now plans to procure "HAL Tejas" instead of any Offshore Platform (JAS-39 Gripen NG, Lockheed Martin F-21, F-15EX, Rafale-M etc).

Now that Lockheed Martin is out of the MMRCA, Pakistan can go for newly built F-16 Block-70/72 & can upgrade the existing F-16s to Block-72 standard.

It was expected Teja will rule the Indians sky

@Khafee since LM is out from India I believe roads are clear for PAF to procure more Blk70. Since we getting standard plane I hope we will get more than 60 So American don't feel they lost MRCA deal.

So India flirted with every defence company but didn't warm anyone's bed..oh i mean pocket.
Tough lesson for USA.
They cancelled supply of F-16 to Pakistan on Indian pressure.
I hope Pakistan doesn't buy it and invests in JF-17 and looks elsewhere.

Just Exchanged messages with a Retd Air Vice Marshal .... huge relief to hear Teja will be inducted instead of some modern western aircraft. His reason: India has no money especially after COVId there is no way for few years they will go for any big ticket fighter jet purchase from outside .

If PAF get some hands on CSF and from Allies it's very high time to buy equipment from US when there will be no hurdle from Congress and we can bargain or even can have top notch things.
My wish list Blk70 along used one with V upgrades local MRO for F16s C130 j more Zulus get hands on used EDA whisky cobras, low level radars, P3c or P8 for Navy, Maxxproo vehicles. We can have some rifle orders too like more snipers. Let's see can have deals for PIA too.

You could start a thread on MRAP's for PA. There are other MRAP's besides MAxxPro available as well.
