On Monday, India submitted a request for information from Boeing for a potential acquisition of 6 aerial refueling tankers. My guess is that it will be some variant of the 767 Tanker that Boeing has already delivered to Italy and Japan. India looks to be a cash cow for the major defense industries as the country continues to update its aging Air Force inventory. In addition to the info request for the Tanker, they have also made preliminary moves into acquiring 10 Boeing C-17 Globemaster III airlifters. They are also looking to purchase combat aircraft that could potentially be worth billions. Already there are 6 companies (including Boeing) that are vying to capture this lucrative defense contract.
