    Boeing offers 'made in India' F 18 Super Hornets

    From what I gathered, you can launch bigger planes like C130 with EMALS. This one thing in itself is such a big force multiplier because the plane is capable of carrying special forces guys and heavy electronic interception equipment or we can fly fuel tanker version KC 130. Earlier we were...

    Boeing offers 'made in India' F 18 Super Hornets

    Okay, if you say so. I will try to google for it. This is extremely good news if it's true. Now, let's see where the EMALS negotiation go. I heard one strategic expert say on TV, If we have EMALS then it will expand our range of operations so wide that it will transform the vast Indian ocean...

    I fully agree with what you are saying, especially about the civil nuclear deal. Is there a news article where I can read more about the GE414 deal which mentions the terms of the deal?

    Boeing offers 'made in India' F 18 Super Hornets

    Doesn't matter where the parts are manufactured, if the OME imposes an arms embargo, you are not allowed to use it even if you are building it under licence on Indian soil.

    Boeing offers 'made in India' F 18 Super Hornets

    Many US companies offer many things, it doesn't mean we are going to take the offer. They have been offering the Raven mini drone and the Javelin missile system since a decade now, still we chose Israeli drones and Spike missile. The US can build F18s in India if they want, and export it to...
