First of all, for this deal to come through, the IAF tender must result in Lockheed Martin winning. That is by no means certain. The tender could go to Saab of Sweden or any other capable manufacturer.
Thanks Rediff. How nicely Rediff has presented this article. The credit should go to Mr. RAHUL GANDHI, Mrs. SONIA GANDHI, Mr. MONMOHAN SINGH and the CONGRESS (I).

F16may be Americas powerful fighter aircraft,but in the past they were not ready to sell it tio India and at the same time selling to pakistan in large numbers.US secretary of state Kissinger under Nixon administration was against INDIA and his gun-boat diplomacy failed to restrain India from waging war with pakistan and ultimate liberation of Bangladesh.We have bear in mind that the single seater fighterGNATT; indegenously made, was capable of taking this Propounding F16
