India Commits to New Jets

But they aren't the fighters we've been expecting... They've signed a large deal with BAE for training aircraft.

British defence group BAE Systems will supply 57 Hawk jet trainers to India's air force and navy, Indian defence ministry officials said on Wednesday, a contract potentially worth $775 million.
The deal will boost British defence firms looking to break into the huge Indian defence market mostly controlled by Russian, US and Isreali companies.

New Delhi plans to spend $100 billion over the next decade to overhaul its Soviet-era defence system.

BAE will supply 40 trainer jets to the air force and the remainder to the navy.
