Hasnain wrote somewhere that JFT has got a misconception that it is inferior coz of Indian member's comments.
In fact, I feel the other way around in the case of MKI. It is like it is big, RCS is huge so can be tackle with less effort.
Just compare it rather replace it with F-15, almost the same RCS, same configuration but all will hail it coz it is battle proven and American.
RCS defintely a factor, people see MKI as a big plane---forget to see its long teeth. long range missiles, radar range, ACMs etc.
I'm not degrading anything but have to give credit to this beast.
And do not always see MKI, there are more than 100 odd Mig-29s & M2Ks who will be there for air superiority first with huge experianced guys piloting it.
