... . .. Lockheed Martin's F-16 is competing with Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet, France's Dassault Rafale, Russia's MiG-35, Sweden's Saab ([url="http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/overview?symbol=SAABb.ST"]SAABb.ST[/url]) JAS-39 Gripen and the Eurofighter Typhoon, produced by a consortium of European companies.



The acquisition of 126 air and ground attack fighters will elevate India's air force to a super-power status, with deployments planned near the western and northeast borders to tackle any threats from Pakistan or China, officials say.
