126 fighters for 9 billion dollars?? They won't be getting that many super Hornets or F-16's then?? The RAAF purchased recently 24 Super hornets through the US Navy (to cut red tape, as did the RAAF with the C-17 through the USAF) for 6 billion Aussie dollars (about 5 billlion US dollars) at US navy mates rates apparently!!! I think India will have to stick to Russian equipment if thay want that many fighters for 9 billion and will probably have to throw in a couple of million litres of palm oil with the deal. Another option may be to purchase that amount of Eurofighter’s Typhoons and have the European Union subsidise it with an aid package.
