i still dont understand the logic of MRCA in the prsense of options like LCA,su 30and mig 29 variants
LCA can cover the light catergery and pakistani boarder wile su 30 the heavy end and mig 29 advance variants can easily cover the intermediate level catergery..
not only india would have safed money but time as well. and the headache of so many platforms

Pissed off of it... I think govt should scrap the deal and go for
1. Make 50 more Su30MKI at Pune and order 50 from Russia
2. Order 50 more MiG29SMT from Russia
3. Open 3 Assembly line for LCA , make 50+ LCA per year
4. Acquire more number of SAMs and Ballistic missiles.
I think we can do all this in same price what we are paying for MMRCA.
