Man pakfa was initially flying with su-35 engines and its gonna trickle down soon enough,thats my argument
rafale's engines are no match for product 117 s,but main issue is that su-35(even upgraded) will cost atleast 20 million dollars less than rafale(guess) and money saved may be pumped into...
Oh yeah best!!!
What about f-18,f-15 se?? what about f-35??
IAF is foolish ,thats what it is.....examples
1)no induction of lca(constant change of requirements)
2)upgradation of mirage 2000(damn costly)
And man we are debating a scenario where we have su-35 with pakfa aesa somewhere in 2015...
Rafale is not an inferior choice troll.....yes price is high
The problem with su-30 is mainly the older al-31f engine.It breaks down easily and requires maintainance frequently but the new product 117s is way better than that and in the future its gonna be fitted with product 117

Russians has publicly stated that its on mass production

1)BEL APARNA is not indigenous but made on tot

3)n050 aesa is operational as of now and pakfa delivery starts 2016
4)rafale delivery can never start before 2017
