    I agree. Remember reading sometime back that they denied us the then vaunted Tornados and offered Jaguars instead so as to not upset the 'military balance in the region'. Can't locate the source for it now. Also just my reading of the tea leaves but I don't think Uncle Sam will let in anyone...

    RR is conspicuous by its absence! If Modi Ji is in France he could have hopped across the channel to London to discuss UK's proposal also, no?

    Hope you have gotten past your earlier dejection with the state of affairs of Mk2 along the time Janes 'broke' it's 'Mk2 languishing for funds' farticle. The wheels are turning rather fast now (as far as Indian defence procurements go). Also Safran I can understand were asking for too much...

    😂 No hot parts- no thrust! Like saying the car's engine is not working, the rest of it is delivering fine! Please look up the specs of RR's MT30 to get an idea of the yawning gap in tech. Marine applications in any case are not as demanding as aerial applications- KMGT is a consolation prize...
