Yaar, which part of the solution do you not understand? The Su-35 was not part of the evaluations. There were x number of fighters. They were pitted against each other. There were 2 fighters which passed. Rafale Typhoon. We have the money for the same. So when you have the money you buy what you want.
Now in the complete discussion of why Rafale won. Pitted against all the rest of the fighters in the competition. It won. Fair and square. Money is not a problem. And I did not bring this up earlier. Could you please tell me where the Russians were supposed to transfer ToT for components? ToT was only for assembly.
For the Su-35 vs Rafale take it here

Oh ho i wrote i will write again,forget about other things...................just read
1)pakfa will enter service in 2016
New T-50 Fighter Jet to Enter Service in 2016
2)the only big change between pakfa and fgfa is that instead of product 117 engine,it gets product 30
But each product 117 engine is itself 2 times the 2 puny rafale engines put together(laughable i mean),,,,so even this amount of thrust is very good
3)The rafale deal even if signed in 2014 will start delivery in 2017 only and not 2016 as the delivery starts 3 years after signing
4)Why go for 2 diff platforms at the same time??When the timeframe of these products is almost similar?No one can justify that as our economy is not that big and we have to focus on priotities and we have a jv in pakfa and hence its a priority.
5)The pakfa has 4 x-band aesa,2 l-band aesa along with other things,,,,its radars are better than rafale's...............the only thing better in rafale is spectra but its not worth this much!!
6)As u know amca has already been stalled and lca is just gonna be delayed again(u will see)........kaveri is in limbo.......no indigenous avionics......no other noteworthy air to air missile!!
So we are not china that we can invest in 3 diff projects
For india with a defence budget of only 40 billion or so we have to balance our money and certainly i think pakfa is enough for china and an overkill for pakistan so i ask again??
WHY RAFALE??
Even if pakfa production starts in 2018 it will be at the same time as rafale so why rafale??
Can HAL handle 3 diff fighters??
a)pakfa.......done deal,cannot be changed
b)lca mk 1 and 2.................cannot be left to die
c)rafale................the only deal not signed yet
The answer is simply NO..........it cannot handle 3 diff types of fighters from 3 diff agencies??can u counter this last argument?
