the whole LCA project costed (entire cost of R&D & testing & manufacturing costs of 14 prototypes in 3 versions + ammount spend on GTRE engine development and buying of sub systems/avaionicks , wepons from international market) costed less than 2 billion dollars which is fraction of what international players even with there established infra spend on similar projects
and even then cost of fully loaded - wepons & feul & maintainence costs of a LCAMK1 is around 25Million $$s which is cheap by any standard cause its just an initial batch costs will come down considerbally when full serial production starts after it gets FOC in march 2016 and what we get in return is a worlds most compact and lightest multi role jet
but then again you can say whatever u feel of want to beleve... dose it matter
cause unlike your airforce which has no money or choice and is forced to induct an untested platform which cant fly in the night or can be used for pricission bombing or has a wroking cannon on the contrarry owr air force has many options & money and want onli the best and that too after testing it fully as per there criteria as they are the ones who is going to use LCA
in short its all about haves and have nots ... look at it either way you want hard facts suggest that pakistani hub bul watans are obsessed and paranoid byLCA wether you aknowledge it or not
well we are taking owr chances dont worry rather insteaqd of making fun you should be happy about it and keep quite cause logic says when your enemy is making a mistake one should never sop him but you are doing the opposite i wonder what is that mulk dushmani towards your motherland or love for india or both
