US stealth fighter for India? They are ready to sell
The United States is open to Indian participation in its Joint Strike Fighter programme that would finally lead to its purchase of fifth generation F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter, a top Pentagon official has said.
"There is nothing on our side, no principle which bars that on our side, Indian participation in the Joint Strike Fighter. Right now, they're focused on these aircraft which are top-of-the-line fourth-generation fighters," Under Secretary of Defence for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Ashton Carter said.
Headed to India in the coming weeks, Carter said the decision to pursue the F-35 is to be taken by India only. Carter was delivering a key-note address on "US-India Defence Relations" at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, on the occasion of the release of a report on India's Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) programme.
At a cost of about $10 billion for 126 aircraft, the MMRCA competition is the largest Indian fighter tender in years.
Eight countries and six companies eagerly await the outcome of the selection process, which has garnered high-profile attention for its sheer size, its international political implications, and its impact on the viability of key aircraft manufacturers.
Carter argued that US-built F-16 and F/A-18 as being the most technologically advanced aircraft in the competition.
"I think that, without saying anything disparaging about the other entrants, both F/A-18 and the F-16 offers include the best technology," he said. Authored by Ashley Tellis, the report says that in choosing an aircraft, the government of India must employ a speedy decision process that is focused on the right metrics, taking both technical and political considerations into account.
Tellis, in his over 140-page report, notes that the European aircraft are technically superb, but the US entrants prove to be formidable "best buys"If Washington wants an American aircraft to win the game, however, it will need to offer generous terms on the transfer of technology, assure India access to fifth-generation US combat aircraft, and provide strong support for India's strategic ambitions -- to counter the perception that the older US designs in the M"Given the technical and political considerations, New Delhi should conclude the MMRCA competition expeditiously, avoid splitting the purchase between competitors, and buy the best aircraft to help India to effectively prepare for possible conflict in Southern Asia," the report said.MRCA race are less combat effective, the report notes. "Because of the dramatic transformations in combat aviation technology currently underway, the Indian government should select the least expensive, mature, combat-proven fourth-generation fighter for the IAF as a bridge toward procuring more advanced stealth aircraft in the future," the report added. "In making its decision
, India's government must keep the IAF's interests consistently front and centre to ensure that its ultimate choice of aircraft is the best one for the service. This will not only help India to strengthen its combat capabilities in the coming years but position it as a rising global power worthy of respect far into the future," the report said.

给印度的美国隐形战机？他们已经准备出售了
国愿意接受印度参与它的联合攻击战斗机项目，并最终购买第五代F35闪电2隐形战机，一位高级五角大楼官员发表此言论。
负责采办、技术与后勤的国防部副部长阿什顿.卡特说道：“美国方面，并没有妨碍印度参与联合攻击战斗机项目的政策存在。不过现在，印度的重点还在顶尖的第四代战斗机上。”
卡特说是否要购买F35现在只等印度方面在未来的数周内来决定。
卡特在卡内基国际和平基金会上关于印度中型多功能战斗机计划研究报告的发布会上做出了以“美印国防关系”的主题报告。
价值约为100亿美元的126架飞机的采购，中型多功能战斗机的竞争者是这些年来印度最大的战机提供者。
家个国家和六个公司热切期待着选拨过程的结果，这些竞争者都已为自己的规模、国际政治影响力和对关键飞机制造商生存影响力获得了高度的瞩目。
卡特认为美制的F—16和F/A—18是这次竞争中最有技术优势的飞机。他说“并非轻视其他竞标战机，不过我认为，F/A-18和F-16所包含的技术是最棒的。”
阿什利·泰利斯在报告中说道在选择飞机方面，印度政府必须做出一个重视正确的指标，将技术和政治因素考虑在内的快速决断过程。泰利斯在他超过140页的报告中指出欧洲的飞机确实有着极好的技术，但是美国的竞争者被证明是强大的“最好商品”。
报告指出“如果华盛顿想要美国飞机来赢得这场比赛，无论如何，它将需要在技术转让上提供慷慨的条款，保证印度有能力使用第五代美国战斗机，并且为印度的战略目标提供强力支持——以此逆转老式的美式设计在中型多用途战斗机的竞争中缺乏有效的战斗力的印象。”

报告中说“考虑技术与政治因素，新德里需要在中型多功能战斗机的竞争中做出快速决断，避免在竞争者中分散购买，并且购买最好的飞机来帮助印度有效准备在南亚可能的冲突。
报告还指出“由于战斗机技术目前正在发生巨大的转变，印度政府应该挑选最便宜的，成熟的，战斗能力被证明的第四代战斗机让印度空军在将来获取更先进隐形飞机。
报告中说“印度政府必须始终以印度空军的利益为前提和中心来确保最后选择的飞机是最适合服役的。这不仅将帮助印度加强它在未来的战斗力还能确立印度作为一股发展中的全球力量值得被长久尊敬。”
