[In order to get orders from India, Boeing has "blown the F/A-18E/F to the sky", as for the extent of the bragging?] India calls it a "super liar".
The Indian Navy threw out an order in 2017 to purchase 57 new carrier-based aircraft, and while this huge plan was revised to 36 in 2020, the total price of the contract would only be higher than that, according to previous arms deals between India and France, even an order for 36 carrier-based aircraft would still be profitable, as the country would spend more than $7.5 billion on the introduction of the same number of Rafale fighter jets, and the shipbuilding difficulty of carrier-based aircraft would be significantly higher than that of land-based fighters.
Since it is profitable, two major arms dealers who have the opportunity to compete for this order are sparing no effort to sell their equipment: Boeing in the United States and Dassault in France;
And Boeing's F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" because of its positive attitude and excellent performance equipment has previously made India shout "excellent", it seems that the fighter line-up in India has become a "nail on the board" trend;
However, in the recent past, with boeing's excessive "expansion", Indians have begun to consider whether this fighter is really "worthy of the name", why do you say so?
Mainly Boeing has over-publicized its "Super Hornet", such as the company's promotion of the F/A-18E/F Block III model's situational awareness has surpassed the current F-35;
In addition, the F/A-18E/F Block III claims to be a carrier-based aircraft specially developed to deal with China, because it can calmly deal with the threat of China's current high-speed weapons and various anti-ship missiles. Is it because the aircraft is equipped with a conformal fuel tank that can increase the range?
This kind of "exaggerated propaganda" I personally think are a bit too much, Indians are naturally not stupid, although it is a classic weapon, but you blow it like this is a little too unkind, no wonder Indians now evaluate this carrier-based aircraft as "super big liar";
Judging from Boeing's transitional propaganda, india's future order for 36 carrier-based aircraft is likely to eventually be quietly won by the French!
