You are absolutely right. Some people forget the economy part of operation while they discuss. MK2 is going to be *** kicker. It will be a very low cost fighter with a very low operating cost. It will be more than match for any thing we have in our neighborhood except Su30 and above. We shall be able to accomplish some mission with MK2 which we can not do with SU30. e.g MKI were found ineffective in bombing on kargil height. MK2 will be a very special aircraft to be operated in high terrine. It will be a replacement of Mig 21, Mig 27, Jaguar and M2k to gather.With additional fuel, low drag, high "G" limits, >5 ton load carrying capability , low RSC, Low weight, AESA and missile like Astra, it is going to emerge as a pemium fighter in south Asia and able to defeat everything we have in neighborhood.

do u know what u are writing??

it has a pulse doppler mechanical slotted array,,,,,rdy-2 and not an aesa radar!!
secondly astra has not been even tried yet and mk2 will have capability of mica missile which is a gamechanger

and thirdly don't forget that after super sukhoi upgrade,,,,,mk2 will be thousand times behind mki in capability 

See guys, I see India in aviation technology in a threshold stage where we had been in Missile technology 5 years back. Lots and lots of promises but hardly anything in hand. You can see how the scenario challenged in a very short period of time. I foresee a same revolution in coming 5 years in India in aviation technology. You will see the best in the class Plane flying in Indian sky with a very high degree of indigenous stuff. AMCA is going to be a plane of class of its own so as LCA MK3.

without privatixation and splitting of drdo and hal into small companies nothing will happen even in 50 years.

yes we will move forward but psu's are inefficient throughout the world and india is no exception.

There were no MKIs in 1999. Perhaps few earlier Su-30 Mks received by that time but we returned it later.
