Indian Air Force Denies Interest in American F-35 Fighter Jets
India has been considering various options to fulfill the required strength for 42 squadrons. After an older tender was recently scrapped, an Indian publication reported that the air force had asked Lockheed Martin to give a classified presentation related to F-35 fighter jets.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has refuted media reports which claimed that the force was keen on procuring the F-35 fighter jet from American firm Lockheed Martin.
“We have not officially asked for a briefing on the F-35 nor has any request been made to the Americans,” Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa told The Indian Express.
