(Asien) Indiens Luftwaffe

[Shunya]

Beim MMRCA ist eventuell doch noch nicht alles in Sack und Tüten:

Media reports recently surfaced stating that the Indian Air Force’s (IAF’s) Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) deal, which had zeroed in on the French Dassault Rafale as the fighter of choice leading to commencement of exclusive negotiations with Dassault for finalizing the contract, is far from final.

These reports have been attributed to parties that do have a poker in the fire: Germany, which backed the Eurofighter Typhoon; and, Russia whose MiG-35 was also in the competition. German sources claim that there have been discussions between German and Indian officials on the issue and a re-worked offer for the Eurofighter Typhoon may be in the process of being finalized. For their part, Russian sources have claimed that there is strong likelihood of the tender for the MMRCA being re-floated by the Indian Government.

Könnte natürlich auch Taktiererei der Inder sein, um den Preis der Rafale noch etwas zu drücken oder die Franzosen zu mehr Konzessionen beim Technologietransfer zu bewegen.
