Chinook और Apache के बाद, Boeing Indian Air Force को F-15EX Jet बेचना चाहता है

Chinook और Apache के बाद, Boeing Indian Air Force को F-15EX Jet बेचना चाहता है Boeing said that it has delivered all the 22 Apache helicopters and 15 Chinook heavy-lift helicopters to India while emphasising that it is fully committed to working closely with Indian forces to meet their operational requirements. Earlier in March, the last five of the Chinooks were handed to the Indian Air Force. India had signed a deal for 22 Apache and 15 Chinook helicopters from Boeing through the Foreign Military Sales programme of the U.S. government in September 2015 under a $3 billion deal. During the visit of President Donald Trump to India in February, India and the U.S. signed a deal for six additional Apaches for the Army. After Chinook and Apache helicopters, Boeing is keen to sell its F-15EX jets to India. The F-15EX jets have also been contenders for the Indian MMRCA contract and competing against Rafales, Russian SU-35s, American F/A 18 Super Hornets & F-21s and the Swedish Gripen. After procuring only 36 Rafale jets from France, India has signed a deal with Russia to acquire 12 more Su-30s and 21 MiG-29s to ramp up its fleet in the midst of heighten India-China border row. Earlier, a EurAsian Times reported, the US Air Force has given Boeing a go-ahead worth nearly $1.2bn for eight F15EX combat aircraft. The most-advanced F15 ever built is expected to assist the USAF to meet its capacity requirements and add the combat capability to its aircraft fleet. The F15EX will be able to carry more munitions than the earlier versions and be able to launch hypersonic weapons, up to 22ft in length, Boeing’s VP said in a statement. Sebastien Roblin of National Defence said while comparing the F-15s with Su-35 that “a new add-on pod that is entering service, Talon HATE, will not only add an IRST to the F-15 but provide data fusion with other air and surface sensors, even allowing it to network with F-22 Raptor stealth fighters, which use a nonstandard datalink. Using this system, Raptors could fly ahead and identify hostile targets and send the targeting data to missile-firing F-15s a safer distance to the rear.” #GlobalConflictHindi #F15ExIndia #F15EX
