Boeing wins $469M contract for C-17 airlifter services to India

I'm suprised at the media attention this gets. This deal is more important than the MMRCA.

Not even close! It's "only" and transport aircraft and procured just as a buyer, MMRCA instead is a frontline fighter, with licence production in India and the highst ToT/offset requirments ever asked in such a competition, not to forget that MMRCA is nearly 3 times more expensive and even more when we look at the operational costs for up to 40 years.
The meaning of MMRCA for India is way different than buying C17s for the transport fleet, but like the article once again shows, it's not as cheap as often claimed and even today, the $4.1 billions for 10 aircrafts is not fixed, or officially confirmed from Boeing (they wanted $5.8 billions!).
 
All weather friend means dumping all your junks in other country without being questioned.

You Indians will never understand what all weather friend because you have none...so beside bullsh1t...what else you can said.

469M to maintain 10 transport aircrafts...I'm very glad that U.S keep embargo on China...or I will break my heart if China get similar deal without saying 400M price tag for each C-17.

You got that right bro..We don't have any friends, we have only interests and that policy has helped us a lot. We can install a Israeli made radar on a Russian built plane and at the same time buy 20% of our oil from Iran. We get nuclear deal from US, but reject their fighter planes and are free to co-develop 5th Gen aircraft with Russia.There are very few countries who can pull off 'stunts' like this.

We don't need any. We are quite capable of taking care of ourselves and also I believe the term 'all weather friend' is another word for 'proxy'.
 
China had maximum money in world but donated peanuts to Pakistan. Even today in crisis they hardly give money, friends do it for free. You can say they are strategic partner' s.

friends do it for free??? that's new Indian concept?...tell that to any Indians if friend mean do it for free :lol:...do you give free money to your friend??

Does China have to reveal any secret financial deal with pakistan to media or to india media more specifically? Since the first day of Sino-Pakistan established the diplomatic relation...we have been happy with how we're up until now despite of internal political up and down, we have been kept watching each other's back from external thread.
