Americans want to transfer F-21 fighter production line to New Delhi

Alexander Ilyin ,April 21, 2020

The MiG does not lose hope of selling the MiG-35 light fighters to the Indians. According to Anton Chernov, the regional director of the corporation, the company has good chances to participate in the tender. However, he acknowledged that the competition is "very tight." 

In addition to the MiG-35 , the American F-21 (version F-16 for India), the Gripen E of the SAAB, F / A-18 brand, the French Rafal and Typhoon are participating in the tender. Interestingly, New Delhi was going to get Rafali under the contract in 2016, but deliveries were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. After that, the media speculated that the chances of MiG had slightly increased.

According to Chernov, quoted by Vzglyad, MiG has a good backlog and reputation, but competitors are also determined. So, the Americans are ready to completely transfer the production line, and they, among other things, have twin-engine aircraft, apparently, the F-15.

The MiG-35 has an advantage in price, it is reported that it is 20% cheaper than competitors. However, it should be noted that previously the Indians have repeatedly made complaints about the build quality of Russian MiGs, especially the MiG-29K. At the same time, these aircraft are well known to Indian pilots, and New Delhi is happy to buy the same MiG-29UPG for them .
