The Eurofighter Typhoon has also offered India seem-less development partnership and EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company) is already helping to develop India’s LCA(Light Combat Aircraft’s). If Typhoon wins the contract , India would be invited by the Eurofighter Typhoon program to become a partner and will be given all technological and developmental aid. Eurofighter Typhoon also provides no end user restrictions and they also have an easy transfer of technology
There are six companies that have been approached for this multi billion dollar contract , which is the single largest defence deal ever for India.
