Boeing blowing smoke. Never gonna happen. The Indians are looking for a light- to middle-weight fighter to replace MiG-21/23s. The F-18 is too large, and too marginal in the air superiority role, to be a contender

My view on probabilty
1. Mirage 2000-5/9 Best maounverabilty. Won't add a new aiframe to the inventory.
2, Mig-29 also existing equioment and local production line already exists. should be cheapest.
3. F-16C - good secomd beat in all catergories. Biggest advantage may be political, in establishing military link to US
4. Saab JAS-29 - most modern design, muti-role use planned from the start.
-------------------------
5. Boeing F-18E/F - It'd make Boeing shareholders happy
