Fort Worth, Texas: With the time for unveiling the RFPs, issued for the supply of 126 medium range multi role combat aircraft (MMRCA) to the Indian Air Force nearing, US defence contractor, Lockheed Martin, has stepped up the campaign for its fighter candidate, the F-16 Fighting Falcon. It announced Wednesday that as part of its submission for the IAF MMRCA programme it would make available an upgraded version of its F-16, freshly designated F-16IN, which would have 'super cruise' capability and also deploy top-of-the-line Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radars.
