We can do better if we invest in our own R&D industries. As far as failure is concerned, its obvious that when you are building products for the first time, they wont be on par with western tech. But with further iterations, one can reach current tech level. There are many cases where the...
Yep and we did not learn from the past.
Upgrade them ? We run to russia for every upgrade. I hope you know Russia is upgrading SU30 MKIs. TOT only helps to maintain and develop existing tech. Very little one can learn with TOT that will allow future tech development.
LCA is far better than...
in name only. Reality: We are funding russian next gen tech programs, so later we can buy the product (FGFA) based on those techs.
Russia will be open to sell PAKFA to any country without requiring our permission.
- Why are we putting so much money for if our contribution will be close to nil as far as technology goes? Russia is developing technology on our cost. I am not against the program, but the hype created around it that we are actually developing some technology that in reality is not true.

Many Indian members over here dream about co development and getting all the knowledge that goes into designing a 5th gen stealth, fighter that includes engine, avionics technologies etc.
LOL so called joint development is yet another MKI (Pakfa MKI) in the making. This is the reason why we also need programs like AMCA to create tech knowledge base and slowly reduce foren technology in our system in the form of MKIs coming from foren JVs or direct purchase. Russia techs developed...
