In April Janes has announced the release of India from FGFA. The reason for the collapse of the 11-year programme of the Indian air force called unbridgeable gap in technological and financial issues.
The programme of the FGFA was launched in 2007 and its main contractors have become “Dry” from the Russian side and Hindustan Aeronautics with the Indian.
