It seems the price, at which the EADS would be arming the Indian Navy with the eight MRAs, is almost $ 400 million less than the price offered by Boeing. With the dollar so low against the euro, how could Boeing miss the mark by this much? Is Boeing offering a significantly better aircraft? It is possible that the P-8A has a lot of bells-and-whistles that the Indians don't need.

Jet airliners converted to combat roles are just lame, sorry. Reminds me of the Carter Administration’s proposal to retire the B-52 and buy 747’s with bays for cruise missles.
