Not at All..

Costs Just $30 Million.
This is the Cheapest Naval Jet.

JF17 with Western avionics would cost the same.

Moreover, LCA is an awesome work of Indian R&D ..
So It Gives Jobs..Technology and above all "The Confidance".

This image will stay forever in my mind. The pride evident by this fellow's expressions carrying the tricolour.....gave me goosebumps!
Emotions apart, the size of the radome looks quite large,and with the new sturdy landing gear this plane does not look "light" to me!It's quite heavy duty!
