Collimatrix Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 India looking for new carrier jets. Because the carrier Tejas does not work. Because nothing made by DRDO works. I think the most likely winner is the Rafael, since the Indian Air Force has already decided to buy those. Belesarius and Sturgeon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Northrop Grumman / BAE drop out of the T-X competition! Quote FALLS CHURCH, Va., Feb. 1, 2017 -- The following is a statement by Northrop Grumman Corporation: Northrop Grumman and its principal teammate BAE Systems have carefully examined the U.S. Air Force’s T-X Trainer requirements and acquisition strategy as stated in the final request for proposals issued on Dec. 30, 2016. The companies have decided not to submit a proposal for the T-X Trainer program, as it would not be in the best interest of the companies and their shareholders. Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems remain fully committed to performing on current and future U.S. Air Force programs, to deliver critical capabilities to America’s airmen.
