Well LM being etc want india to purchase their products.And so does india want it..OR else we wouldnt have been considering their products.. Wether the expectations of both sides match is a different matter.
where did USAF come into all this. Its either about US govt and these companies or indian govt and IAF, HAL etc. definitely not USAF. Please recheck what u type.

2. They also want to sell those stuffs to Indians, so that we may be thier
permanent customer.
every company wants long term customers as u gain more from them..and of course americans are the leaders in business tactics.. no doubt about it... we indians need to learn a lot from them..

3. USA also know the results of SU-30/32MKI which is more advanced than the
F-15/16-s.
lets look at a few things here .
1. theres nothing called SU32MKI. theres only SU30MKI.

2. and most imp .. we have started inducting MKI's and while americans have started phasing out their F15s/16s. what are u trying to prove with this statement then.
3. there are versions of F15 in US service ( the AESA ones) that can shoot down MKI with great ease. u need a recheck on your facts.
4. its always better to ask questions than to make pass on your decisions in a forum when u are a new joineee as it at times doesnt match with the general opinion( which is most difficult to tackle when u are new.) . So better be more inquisitive than go about declaring your decisions/views.

4. And they also came to know that the Russian Flankers are more cheaper than
F-15/16-s and the USA would loose many of it's customer's, and thier industries
of making F-15/16-s would come to an end.
And why do u think so.
Yes Flankers are sold at 50 mn a peice today. and that too with a level of technology nowhere near the level at which F15's and F16s are sold. Currently sold F15 version and F16 versions contain AESA radars. and u shud read about how good these planes are .. ( of course technological edge comes with a price .. and so thes are a bit costlier than SU30... but definitely worth it. ).
