India doesn't need our aid contribution and is flush for $$$ - I see this going all the way to contract.

They've decided to buy a proven, highly-capable fighter aircraft and the Indians are not stupid....the whole A-G 'demonstration' by Typhoon over Libya was nothing short of an appallingly desperate attempt to emblazon 'multi-role ready' on the side of the jet...which it wasn't/isn't. I suspect India saw right through that. The French motive was similar.

However, Rafale eclipsed our illustrious Warton Wonder.
Ah yes - the "Warton Wonder" designed by a 4 nation consortium
