Alain Garcia, vice president of India business development at Boeing Defence, Space and Security, said that his team was privileged to showcase F/A-18 Super Hornet's compatibility with Indian carriers.
Hard selling the fighter jet, Garcia said that the F/A-18 Super Hornet, as the premier frontline multi-role naval fighter, was one of the world's most affordable multi-role fighters. The development of the next-generation Block III capability for the Super Hornet will be game-changing for India, he added.
He assured that not only would the Indian Navy be getting the most advanced platform -- Super Hornet Block III -- but the force would also benefit from naval aviation tactics and upgrades that the US Navy offers.
