You can't use heavy fighters everywhere. It is primarily an air dominance fighter, not always suitable for other roles.
It comes with ON OFF button remotely controlled by Americans. We are not Pakistan we won't allow anyone to control our freedom .. So deals with US is is not worth . And IAF talking about EF PAKFa so so why we need F16 ?F 16 is a very good deal. We can have latest F 16. It has a great engine , more than great maintainability, and top in the class AESA.

We need F16 for low price and top in class RADAR. You have a point though.
With EF we will have huge advantage over Chinese jets J10B/J11D/27/30 or even J20 /31 .
Am not sure how we could work it out with 4 nations . But for instance we can have agreement with 1 of the partner and make them the sole owner of the deal . I think it's possible .But am not sure .
Main reason we went for rafale than ordering additional sukoi is to have different capabilities . You also ask they why we are ready to pay huge chuck of foreign reserves and our hard earned money for new fighter platform when we already have in house infrastructure for MKI . Our adversary is not Pakistan with their f16 and Jf17 but equally competitive sukois if china .
Prevention is better than cure . EF has better RCS and so enhanced advantages over Su35 in Beyond visual range tactics. EF with IAF will for credible deterrent against sukois and future J20 . Not to forget EF will get mature further in days to come .
On ur logistic nightmare : I seriously get irritated to this line . Those who talk about nightmare in operating different platform should know IAF don't operate only 1 or 2 fighters .We already operates Mirage , Jags , mig 27 , 21 , 29 , sukois in very large numbers.In future we tend to add Rafale , FGFA, AMCA, Tejas to name a few. In future we might opt for F35B for Island operation or for second wave of attacks once our runways are been targeted (Note : Don't jump the gun on F35. I just gave an example on how our planning will evolve! !! ) . So do you think our Airforce personals are fools that they don't think like you ? Come on get a break .
LCA MK2 shall be more than sufficient for all these chinese lot.
Apart from that reducing dependence on Russsia was one of many aims of MMRCA.
So this order will got to Rafale. EFT wont be selcted or it will be logistical nightmare.
Dude Where is MK1 or MK1-P in first place ? There is no MK2 for the next 6-8 years .But Chinese will have all I mentioned . We can't let this happen and for Costly fighters for technical advancement . EF Rafale PakFa or stealth Su35 MKI ... Other than these we will be in deep trouble
Logistical nightmare is better than having weaker airforce or airforce with a disability against your enemy's 4++ and 5th gen fighter ... Costly ? Logistic nightmare so be it ! We afford to loss our skies to enemy's bombers ...
Some of the fighters we already operates : Mig21/27/29/29 k , Su 30, jags, mirages, naval fighters , transport , helicopters etc ... Don't you think we can do away with nightmare u talk about ?
