American planes are the worlds most advanced, no doubt about that but the fighters that were on offer were seriously inferior. Super hornets were found to be underpowered and and both American fighters failed the trials. The Typhoons and Rafale were found to be streets ahead of the American fighters. And this MMRCA deal was by far the cleanest and the most transparent deals that ever happened in India. Probably the only deal where bribery and politics had very little role to play and the fighter platform were purely chosen on merit.
“And this MMRCA deal was by far the cleanest and the most transparent deals that ever happened in India.”
Not saying much, as corrupt asd that place is.
“Probably the only deal where bribery and politics had very little role to play and the fighter platform were purely chosen on merit.”
On that we differ.
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion.
How do you know? Did you read the IAF’s report?
