thing is 36 rafales will come no matter what the all hokus phokus going on are pressure tactics by MOD to squeze best possible deal for 90 made in india ones which even french know are not "just 90"
as for tejas MK1, 1P or MK2 they are all for filling up numbers for mig21 & 27s and possiballi
It is the replacement for Mig 21, MMRCA is more for our ground operation and aerial superiority, which is crruently handled by two different aircrafts the MKI for air superiority with some ground support and the mirage and jags for ground support. MMRCA is suppose to bring the two into one platform. While the LCA works as point defence so no point in indicting Rafale just to replace migs since it would be beyond the requirements.It can be a good replacement for MiG 21s.
