What it should've actually included is EMALS...but I guess Yanks wanted us to procure F-18s if we want EMALS and our guys decided it wasn't worth it and also since IN dropped plans for a 3rd carrier in favor of more subs

We don't have any immediate replacements for the engines and P-8I's, neither indigenous nor from France/Israel. As for Apaches & Chinooks, we have Russian alternatives in our inventory along with HAL's helo fleet which seemed to be promising so far...all we need is LCH's in significant numbers...
