If they allow us integration of Indian and Israelli missiles and avionics from other nations. Then why not. A very good choice if we go by economics.

Because firstly amreeki are not going to give the source code for their Aesa..Why Israeli if we r getting ameereki. It's doubtful , israeli avionics to be better than ameereki . and israel missile integration with American avionics may not be a problem cause they are already using f 15
Choppers are likely to happen if India places significant follow-on orders for the Apaches and Chinooks- with the IA getting its own fleet of Apaches this looks likely.I'm actually not against this one. They have systematically built a manufacturing presence for Long term with partners like Tata instead of just letting HAL take blue print and build like France has been doing. This might be an extremely intelligent, long term partnership option with good results for the Indian Industry in general. Very foresightful of them.
What Boeing May 'Make In India': Fighter Plane, Choppers
Once the Rafale deal is signed that is that- no hope for anyone else.
Mixture of too many different fighters will be mantainence nightmare , better go for F16IN offer and build in numbers in INDIA@migflug
By avionics I meant French. I don't know if they are better that what US may offer, but I know that we have French ones in our mkis.If the French ones turn out to be better, why not adopt them?
And for missiles , because it will be an advantage. As India will use a very large number of pythons and Derby for the Tejas fleet, it will be more economical to integrate these on to the F18s if they come. Than to order a separate number if Aim9/120 missiles.
The question is if Rafale deal is signed. If it is then we have 100+ Rafales for sure. If not. Then a mixture of F18s and Su35s are very good.

The fighter jet production line is pie in the sky stuff, he is saying it for the sake of it- no one is going to rule out such avenues in his position but it simply isn't going to happen UNLESS Boeing shifts the entire production line to India to meet third party orders. There is simply NO way the IAF is going to induct 2 different types of fighters for the same requirement- MMRCA, anything thinking they will is living in a fantasyland.

I dont get it.
When mmrca tender was floated decade ago, boieng and lockheen martin both participated knowing that planes are supposed to be built in india according to the tender. It means they were ready for make in india decade ago itself, yet india rejected them and went with rafale.
And then what is new in this news again if boeing wants to manufacture f-18 in india ? What is the dfference between previous offer and this one ?

You say mixture of too many fighters will be nightmare and then suggest that we should go for F16, if we can go for American, then why not go for the better one..... F18 E/F?
We will need to sign agreements we do not want to sign.integration with American avionics may not be a problem
Commonality with engines.
