Seven of the world’s premier fighter aircraft are already competing in the Indian Air Force’s (IAF’s) global tender for 114 medium fighters. There could soon be an eighth — the F-15EX fighter, developed for the US Air Force (USAF) by The Boeing Company.

“While awaiting further definition on the Indian Air Force’s requirements, we have requested a licence for the F-15 so that we’re ready to share the full spectrum of potential solutions across our fighter portfolio
