The IAF is keen to induct the first lot of the MMRCA by 2014. The contenders are F/A-18 ‘Super Hornet’, F-16 ‘Falcon’ , Gripen (Swedish), Rafale (French), MiG-35 (Russian) and Eurofighter Typhoon jets.
India has also signed deals for 230 Sukhoi-30 MKI fighters (over 110 have been inducted) with Russia. Another 42 Sukhois are likely to be ordered shortly. This is in addition to LCA (light combat aircraft ) and FGFA (the fifth-generation fighter aircraft) planned.
