F-18 Super Hornet After Burner
There is possibility that other engine like EJ200 or M88 or the Russian AL serries can be added, a fessilbilty study by SAAB was done and also alternative radar supplier are there, but as for engine I think the Swedes have the intellectual right as it was a JV and is custom built for Gripen E.Have Americans virtually killed SAAB’s Griper E offer to India ?
According to leaked WikiLeaks cables realised few years ago, highlighted how Americans denied US-built AESA radar for Gripen-NG which was pitched for Norwegian requirements and later Americans pressurised French and Israel to pull out of talks with Saab in providing their AESA radar for their Gripen-NG to protect their changes in India’s MMRCA tender . After India withdraw MMRCA tender earlier this year , India has accepted Americans proposal for supply and manufacturing of their F-18 and F-16 fighter jets in India and also has been in discussion with SAAB in Parallel which has been pitching India its Gripen-E fighter jets with full Transfer of technology and possible collaboration on Tejas MK-II and later on India’s 5th Generation AMCA project . Recent Indian media reports suggest that Americans now have linked Joint Indo-US Jet Engine Technology Joint Working Group (JETJWG) talks with the purchase of F-16 or F-18 fighter jets by India . India and USA had formed JETJWG to discuss a possible collaboration for the joint development of a new jet 110kN thrust class jet engine for India’s AMCA 5th Generation fighter jet programme based on updated GE’s F-414 engines. By linking Two projects Americans have virtually killed any chances of Gripen-E been selected by India, even though India’s Defence minister Manohar Parrikar is currently in Sweden and will be visiting Saab’s facility at Linkoping in Sweden . French offer on funding and developing Indigenous Kaveri engine has an offset on Rafale deal is still pending with MOD but Americans clinching deal for the supply of 90 jets to Indian Air Force now seems inevitable

Boeing, Lockheed Still In The Hunt For Fighter Sales To India

A desesperate try....Boeing, Lockheed Still In The Hunt For Fighter Sales To India
Boeing (BA) and Lockheed Martin (LMT) might have lost round one to France's Dassault, but there are more fighter jet deals in India's future.
As expected, India signed a deal worth nearly $9 billion Friday for 36 Rafale fighter jets, rather than picking Boeing's F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet, Lockheed's F-16 or BAE's Eurofighter.
But that quantity is just a fraction of what the country's military needs, as it looks to start replacing its roughly 900 fighters, mostly Russian-built aircraft nearing the end of their service lives. And defense analysts are bullish the U.S. companies have a good chance to win future orders.
"The Indians have never bought 36 of anything," Teal Group analyst Richard Aboulafia said. "They buy in significant quantities."
He expects another fighter request from India in a year, but warned that governmental bureaucracy could slow things down.
International sales can also get tripped up by the twists and turns of foreign relations, but Aboulafia said he has "no doubt" that Boeing or Lockheed jets would have an advantage in future deals, citing their quality and reliability.
He added that Boeing's Super Hornet might have an edge over Lockheed's F-16 as India is looking for planes that can fly off aircraft carriers to replace its MiG-29Ks.
Lockheed shares closed 0.3% lower to 245.84 in the stock market today. Boeing shares were flat.
India's deal Friday with Dassault was its second attempt at a fighter purchase. In 2012, New Delhi chose Dassault to build 126 new fighters. But negotiations stalled, and in July the government canceled the program, opting instead for a government-to-government deal.
In trying to secure the fighter contract, Lockheed offered in August to move its F-16 manufacturing to India. And during U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter's visit to India in April, he reportedly pushed for a Boeing or Lockheed buy.

Still based on available info how does the J 10B compare to the Shornet?Who knows something true about J10? It's a bad known product outside China.
Better to compare (when possible) with another single engine fighter, as F16, Gripen, Tejas.
