Lockheed Martin's F-16 block 70 (F-21) for India

. .
I also think pak cannot match Indian military head to head for next ten years due to bad economical condition
 
. . . .
Since the great risk from China, we need to induct Astra -2 with range 160km and home build Uttam ASEA radar at the earliest.

need to upgrade the all Su30mki with Astra 2 missiles, by doing this, it will Naturalized the PLAAF advantages
 
. .
F16 is a good jet, its one of the most battle proven jets. But everything has a weakness, and PAF knows F16s inside and out because of how long they have operated it. That probably prevents India from buying it.

Rest of the jets are just for show, if it don't have any decent battle experience its just an experiment not a fighter.

Also at the end of the day, technology only gets you so far. Flying experience under tough circumstances, and capability and skill far outweigh tech advantage. Always about the man behind the machine
EXACTLY!!!! In top Gun tom cruse shot down 4 fifth gen fighters with an f14 tomcat. Pilot skills > all else.

Unfortunately, those that had pointed that out to Pakistani leadership throughout history were either told to shut up or worst case branded Baniyas and forced to abandon Pakistan
Baniyas got lucky, Uncle Sam decided to hold his hand. Otherwise they still don’t know what they are doing. Whereas, everytime Pakistan try to caught a break something happens by design. FATF, Terrorism or Covert operations like regime change.

So India got lucky by implementing GST policy, investing in infrastructure, IT policy to export more than $200 billions, investing in IIT, AIIMs, IIMs, IIITs and NITs, Free nutrition in primary education, government loan for small business ideas without collateral, hydrogen and EV policy, Tax incentives to attract global manufacturing and semiconductors, Udaan scheme to connect underserved areas with an airport?

The F-21 is likely not going to be picked by the IAF(although stranger things have happened) but may be LM trying to keep its foot in the door for IAF’s medium aircraft requirement
I don't think IAF would ever field a US-made frontline fixed-wing fighter jet in my lifetime.

India would like to get a strategic Development deal with GE for propulsion systems which would be much larger and beneficial to both parties. Propulsion remains India's Achilles heel, and Russia shot itself in its foot not consolidating that market.

Neither LM or Boeing can work with India on it's 5th gen system as a development partner, France still has that market open, but that window might be shrinking with every passing day.

Hallmark of losers, always blaming circumstances on luck.

An experiment that goes through rigorous testing and exercises even gainst proven jets.

Remember that at one point in time, F-16 was also an experiment

You dont have to, IAF is already holding a technological advantage over PLAAF and the gap would only widen overtime.
All is well.
