Surely for India LCA is the first step, though it seems too long to take it.
But when can India reduce the producing cost by making the crucial parts indigenously? Using too many imported gears is unbearable.
lets say LCA is obsolete for IAF now (which i thinkits not) but even then please tell me why do Pakistanimembers keep on telling us what we already know and want india to abondon R&D on such programms
are we asking for monitarry help from pakistanies ?
are we not enemy of pakistan ?
i simpli dont get this pakistani fetish for making fun of LCA then can u sir please tell me why pakistanies behave like that rather they should encourage india in keep wasting its tax payers money on this so called "lemon"
or is that they know deep down that in case of war LCA can proove more than a hand full to there air force
but the fact is LCA will never be the spearhead or back bone of any IAF war doctroine against PAF rather it will always play a second if not third or even fourth layer of defnce as IAF has other big boys in its innoventorry and LCA willnever be able to come owt of there shadows
thanks
