1)any fighter is useless until and unless its having credible air to air missile. I want to tell one thing that each and every missiles we have to import from US for f16 except Derby(I doubt full about that too,if 16 comes with APG series radar instead of 2052 radar). None of the present armaments is not compatible with it. So added cost
2)tell me which is better,rafale or 40 year old platform like 16
3) now again whatvextra advantage will 16 brings to India .

unsaid assumption with the f-16 is that IAF will be allowed to incorporate their weapons packages into it
