I understand thats the reason why u guys spent 8 billion for 36 rafales
Better suited to get gripen NG on that money and built it at home like brazil did.
After all rafale only has 30-40% advantage on range specs than gripen NG.
India is as usual confused..
For comparison look at someone your own size..see just towards your north..there is no comparison

How would it feel if we start comparing our self to maldives ..?. You guys need to grow some skin and bully china ..
Indian space program is a joke as compared to china

It only matters if it comes from an actual Chinese person...and we will debate/discuss with them....middleman cheerleaders who have failed at improving their lot just amuse us.

After all 40 billion equity country trying to talking up to a 2.3 trillion one is kind of hillarious....given pop differential is only 7 times right?

Maldives is actually doing lot better than you too haha....so why mention them? I am simply saying you should be at least in the ballpark per capita w.r.t us on matters of note (regarding TOT, engineering, deployment to create things locally) to start advising. Am I advising you on what is good/bad w.r.t JF-17?....Pakistan made pragmatic decision with what it had at hand....whatever the excessive cringey fanboying here is like.

MWF is looking fine as next step for all the trial and tribulation invested in Tejas:

Metal cutting scheduled for 2021.

Understand what project gestation of capacity means for long term development.

Every success the upcoming Unified launch platform will have for ISRO stems from its early days of SLV and ASLV along with all the blood sweat and tears then similarly....sustained of course by current workhorses PSLV and GSLV.

It is our decision alone to decide things like Rafale too and how it fits in this scheme of things....just like initial liquid fuelled Viking engine for ISRO (Vikas) from France. @Vergennes

If its all so easy and straightfoward, please achieve it yourselves first...at even 1/7th the success if you want to bring population argument.
 
IAF to acquire 83 Tejas fighter jets for $5.4bn from HAL

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has reportedly finalised the acquisition of 83 single-engine Tejas Mark-1A light combat aircraft (LCA) fighter jets.

The deal with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) also includes maintenance and infrastructure.

Initially, HAL quoted nearly Rs565bn ($7.9bn) but the contract price has now decreased to a final amount of up to Rs390bn ($5.4bn), reported The Times of India (TOI).

The Mark-1A fighter jets are expected to be delivered three years after the agreement has been signed.

Under the deal, the Mark-1A jets will feature 43 improvements.


Some of the enhancements include active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, long-range beyond visual range missiles, air-to-air refuelling and advanced electronic warfare.

A source was quoted by TOI as saying: “With the contract price now settled at Rs390bn, the procurement file is being sent to the Cabinet Committee on Security for the final nod.

“It should be cleared before this fiscal ends on March 31. Once the contract is inked, HAL promises to begin deliveries of the Mark-1A jets in three years.”

The procurement proposal for 83 Tejas was first approved in November 2016 by the Defence Acquisitions Council.

In 2017, the IAF issued a request for proposal to HAL for the procurement.

Another source was quoted by the publication as saying: “The flight testing for Tejas Mark-1A will hopefully be completed by 2022. After these 123 fighters, the IAF is also looking to induct 170 Tejas Mark-2 or the medium weight fighter (MWF) jets with more powerful engines and advanced avionics.”

In February last year, India’s light combat aircraft was given final operational clearance by Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC).

Could you please stop posting pages of advertising, links to irrelevant stuff and BS only since you are too lazy to sort or what's important and what's not.

I find such long and simple copy&paste reports most annoying. :hitwall::crazy:
