“HAL is going to roll out 350 aircraft by 2012 - out of which 80 will roll out this year, and spend close to Rs. 25,000 crore on design and development over the next 10 years,” I think the major part will be come form MKI

for now,we are not comparing it with typhoon so chill.:smitten:

Then Make it for IAF ;)

May be many people no agree. but it is a fair enough comparison.:agree:

If that is the case,then india should go for: 126 Rafale or EF and 74 F-18 for navy.

May be this one better Vibrant Gujarat nets Rs 12 lakh crore Vibrant Gujarat nets Rs 12 lakh crore - ET Cetera-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times :cheers:

yeah, the political leadership,that where talking logical make no sense. i only hope that IAF make best out of this deal.:tup:

this can led to the further contradiction if they found arjun is better.:enjoy:

As you say we can squeeze french for now, so we can ask them to make rafale capable of carring any type of weapon and also work with DRDO to put rafale in to the network-centric model which IAF is asking for. And also may be American equipment are war-proven but you cann't say they are the...

IAF should not go for Mig-35 as it will increase the dependency on russia And after Gorshkov and T-90 hell no. I think we both agree about F-16 selection ,even Lockheed offer f-35 then also there is a long line of customer before india.so it is better to keep away from it. Now EF, yes UK is...

Let me Take one by one: F-16 And F-18:Both are US contender so TOT will be a problem.And F-16 is going to phase out when F-35 come into action,similar is the case for F-18 but its F-18E/F block is very advance jet and may be indian navy go for it, not sure about this.And there is absolute no...

And as far as Mig-21 concern, IAF convert its Mig-21 to Mig-21 Bison and they want to keep this plane upto about 2020 and the no. are about 120. so i think there is back up also to give sufficient time to LCA to evolve into Multi-role capability.

i am not following the wiki blindly Also it is good that IAF reject Gripen NG beacues most of its component are from american and we can also say that rejection of gripen also pave the way for LCA Mk II, so there is nothing to worry about that IAF reject a good plane.

Yes only after Kaveri we can accurately predict the capability ,but with the present Payload LCA still Can be Handy plane against Mig-21,JF-17 and even M2K to certain extent with Better Radar and Phalcon support.

come on man 5-10 years back people also saying that LCA is a paper plan but now it is ready for induction,though in limited numbers with limited features. As we know learning is continous process,and with LCA india learned many things and will be learn new things. Same go For gripen NG.

so what do you expect, IAF to induct LCA in 100s that is also just After IOC. As this plane was a learning process ;) and we are also not putting this aircraft with EF or rafael , for now. :agree:

Well I also know the defination ;) , i thought you know how a jet fighter can have supercruise capability. But any way, that's ok. And also,apart from F-22 and su-35 EF ,gripen NG have also supercruise capabiltiy. You can check wiki

It is obvious that with present configuration of LCA it can only Replace Mig-21 But LCA MK2 ,is surely a different fighter with new engine and radar.
