"Interesting read in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about this very subject. Their take was India wasn't as disappointed as portrayed since, in fact, India has been approved to buy the latest, more up to date fighter, the FA18. And in more quantity. Is this incorrect?"
That is what I heard also. Let's face it, if it wasn't us who supplied Pakistan it would be Russia or China. We're friendly with both countries right now and I do not see the whole relationship with India being soured over this matter.
Umm,Pakistan is getting over a 100 jets from China irrespective of the F-16 deal & Russia has to big a market in India to lose by selling to Pakistan.
