Engine is still american and suppose if its Kaveri than it fits the billl with Gripen itself attaining FOC in 2022/23 timeline so a refit and a re certification can give us LCA Gripen MK2 by 2025

Thats wht is Saab saying that lets actually use Gripen E and add Indian requirements/customizations and officially make it LCA Gripen Mk2 . Its very much possible and as i said if you want a quality light fighter thats a very good option. But Saab as of today is not in a position to bring in the...

But light wing can be prioritized without a much bigger delay of course with kaveri

We dont spend any other place and we get best bang for birds. But for that only we have to match French side Rfaale numbers to justify as well as attract them for all this tech transfer and to get them onboard for LCA NG. We can plan for AMCA much much later

otehr tech features. Bcz Rafale MLU is already a big upgrade, these are essentially today versions going into LCA NG and Rafale gets the better upgrades. Thsi way the whole MIC benefits in one single deal with France and Dassault - to both LCA and later AMCA also which is essentially based out...

One of that could be redesigning the plane all together . Another could be heavily borrowing from LSA (vstol) concept. The third option would be using Kaveri and expeerience of Dassault folks and redesign a new version of LCA say LCA NG incorporating present spectra , RBE2 Aesa and

Indeed it will surely. The technological levels between the two, the scope in future and already the experience of previous Gripen model will win IAF accolades hands down. Thats why i foreign in the first part. If suppose we wish domestic then its better we use a much better evolved version of...

But Gripen E is costly and their actual scheduled FOC is closer to 2022/23 and MII line will be later as well. So they cant immediately address squadron numbers. But Gripen E and Rafale together can boost our MIC in a big manner + HAL based FGFA and make AMCA not a dream but reality . Challenge...

If quality and long term prospects is thought then its Gripen E, bcz it enables the MIC to evolve and incorporate the technologies (if it can share) for our domestic program and gives a very hi end single engine fighter. I actually club both rafale and Gripen E as 4.75 Gen or just below 5th gen...

4. US MIC, LM is happy as they can keep selling, upgrading and making F16s, 5 Psychological bcz PAF operates a blk 52 and India will operate a much modern block and building it in India.

if foreign then Cheapest option is F16 as compared to Gripen E. Bcz 1. Price wishe F16 will be much cheaper than Gripen E, 2. Quicker availability if we go for some quick jets off the shelf and some more under MII, 3.Geo strategic leverage of USA being happy that we bought their jets and are now...
