Simple answer is, UK make their own jets (in collaboration with Germany) while all the jets India build are under licence (apart from Tejas, correct me if I'm wrong). What will you do if Europe decides to remove these licences?pray tell me why should the U.K. be placed above India when we operates close to 300 4th generation aircraft compared to 115 4th generation aircraft(Eurofighter Typhoon TR-1,2 and 3) operated by the R.A.F.(the Panavia Tornado variant in R.A.F. service is a strike aircraft like our Sepecat Jaguar,the interceptor variant was retired by R.A.F. in 2011)....
This is why in my opinion, there are only a handful of "proper" Armed forces. US, Russian, Chinese, British, French, German, Japanese etc.
If you don't build your own stuff, ultimately, when shit hits the fan, you're gonna get dealt with.
