[raider]

Kayaknya AU India masih bingung nih mo pilih jet tempur yang mana: Super Hornet, Eurofighter Typhoon, Saab Gripen, Dassault Rafale atau MiG-35 mungkin? Dipileh-dipileh... Kalo Thailand dah mantep pilih Gripen ajah...


New Delhi, April 24

The race for supplying 126 medium multi role combat aircraft (MMRCA) to the Indian Air Force has started.

On Thursday, Boeing Company announced that it has delivered a 7,000-page proposal offering the advanced F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, while the European consortium, EADS announced that not only was it offering the Typhoon aircraft but also invited India to become a partner of the Eurofighter programme.

The last date for submitting the proposals is April 28. There are six vendors in the fray, including the Russian company MiG, Gripen from Sweden, French company Dassault, US company Lockheed Martin, apart from Boeing and Eurofighter.

In a statement, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Boeing Integrated Defence Services, Mr Jim Albaugh, said that the company was offering India the best value, most advanced and proven multi-role combat fighter in production today.

The Super Hornet variant being offered to India is based on the F/A-18E/F model flown by the US Navy and currently being built for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

Delivery of the first Super Hornet can begin about 36 months after the contract is awarded, the statement adds.

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer, Military Air Systems, EADS, Mr Bernhard Gerwert, said that India was the partner of choice for it.

“We are interested in long-lasting political, industrial and military relations which will be based on a win-win partnership. Therefore, the door is wide open for India,” he added.

Both the American and European company have promised to transfer technology and some production here which is required as part of the contract. Boeing has said that it has signed long-term partnership with a number of Indian companies, including Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, Tata Industries and Larsen and Toubro.

“If the Super Hornet is selected, these companies and others are expected to play a significant role as Boeing transfers some production and assembly to India,” the statement adds.

Kayaknya India Condong Pake Mig-35

[elangguntur]

saya setyju dengan kang razor, India selama ini sudah menggunakan MiG-29 dengan jumlah banyak, infrastruktur sudah ada, toh MiG-35 tak lain tak bukan adalah MiG-29 yang ditingkatkan kemampuannya, generasi 4+. Gak tau kalo India kurang sreg dengan kinerja MiG-29nya saat ini, dan akan berpindah ke lain hati, mungkin.

Ngomong2 MiG, disebuah forum ada rekaan tentang nextG dari dinasti MiG, sebuah light fighter generasi 5, MiG-39!

[bunthozr]

Mesinnya jadi tunggal yah... apa nggak malah lebih kuat yang bermesin 2?

[elangguntur]

untuk light fighter engine tunggal cukup, efisien, perawatan lebih ringan, konsumsi bahan bakar juga tidak banyak. F-16, F-35 juga engine tunggal.
