NEW DELHI: The IAF will soon issue request for proposals (RFPs) to the five contenders in race to supply 126 multi-role combat aircraft to India, in a deal estimated to be upwards of $5-billion. The companies vying to bag the lucrative contract are French Dassault (Mirage-2000-V), Russian RAC MiG (MiG-29 M2), Swedish SAAB (JAS-39 Gripen) and, of course, the American Lockheed Martin (F-16) and Boeing (F-18) companies.
