BAE Systems approached EADS to be joint-partner for MMRCA bid
Wall Street Journal reported that BAE Systems had approached EADS just before Christmas to become a joint prime bidder for the Indian MMRCA contest.
EADS’ Cassidian unit is the prime bidder for that contract and the aerospace giant “politely” declined the offer, a person familiar with the matter said.

Bae Systems are already a partner!?!. The eurofighter typhoon is a project shared between the UK (BAES) Germany EADS-D, Spain EADS-C Italy Fin. In fact BAES are the biggest shareholder in the project. EADS-D are forefronting the campain.
