"The Indian Navy is interested in the JSF. The Super Hornet is still being shopped to the Indian Air Force.
Like I said earlier, they are interested in our Joint Strike Fighter, but all I had read earlier on, indicated they did not want our Surper Hornet because it simply could win out in ACM against some of the Soviet built aircraft mentioned. I am no expert, only going by what I had read at FR recently.
Issues also concerning how to maintin the F18 etc., also came up. MiGs and Su's simply are much easier to maintain.
