Business Standard learns the IAF top brass is formally requesting for a classified briefing by the F-35’s prime builder, Lockheed Martin, on the capabilities of the sophisticated, fifth-generation fighter developed under the US Joint Strike Fighter programme.

' @. H/ |3 k7 N! b' V7 p0 ZThe US government has not formally offered the F-35 to India. A classified briefing would require formal clearance from the US Department of Defence (the Pentagon) and the State Department. The grant of such a clearance would be an important first step towards permitting the sale of F-35s to India.

It is learnt the IAF wants to procure 126 of the variant called F-35A
....
The F-35’s affordability is also attractive for New Delhi. In contrast to the bare-bones price of $115 million for each Rafale fighter (with India-specific enhancements, spares, logistics and weapons all extra), the F-35A cost customers $94.6 million last February. Lockheed Martin says it will reduce the cost to $80 million by 2020.

Sources close to the Pentagon say India would not be sold the F-35 as long as it is partnering Russia in the FGFA co-development project. That is because Washington would guard against the leakage of F-35 technology into the FGFA.

Senior officers say the IAF is not enthused about the FGFA project. They point out the F-35 is further advanced in development and has already entered service with the USAF and six-seven air forces of American allies.

哈哈，看这出戏能唱多久吧。印度肯定会要求Make in India，至少整合N多印度系统和武器，而美国基本上不可能答应。这个“基本上不可能”，20年后F-35已经进入生产尾声了，还是可能的哈。F-35还有数据主权问题，从ALIS到威胁数据库都是自动与美国联网的。一个是美国是不是愿意印度连近来，另一个是印度是不是愿意被美国“数据吸尘”过去。

( ~, u% @, X8 ^7 u3 W0 c8 o* o, AFPGA也是一个因素。

印度要是买到F-35，中国肯定立刻把歼-20部署过去了。到F-35交付印度，怎么的也得5-7年，歼-20的产能应该上去了。

印度人总想在生意场占便宜，在这种军火行业，垄断程度这么高的地方，可能还是要靠间谍才行。
