My bud ELP has an article out on the possibility of F-35 sales to India. Read it here but the juicy bits are below...
Looking at the news and there is all the sudden there is a lot out there about India and the F-35.ELP!
One word: desperation. As in desperation of the U.S. government and lockmart (one in the same) to keep the F-35 program alive by any means necessary.
There is desperation.
But it doesn't reside with anyone associated with the F-35 program.
It definitely must live in the hearts of the executives running the Typhoon and Rafale programs!
It must definitely reside in the hearts of the critics of the program. If suddenly the Indians decide on the F-35 then that will be another loss for the Typhoon ... first rejected by the Japanese and then decided against by India would be a couple of body blows that would effectively knock the Typhoon, Rafale, Gripen and lets be honest --- F-16 and F-18 out of any further competitions.
