India can afford to be drama queen
Accept the hard core reality that mrca has been cancelled as India couldn't afford it.
Yes, we are a poor country.
So let's start another decade long process and then finally end up with deals like mere 36 jets for face saving.
36 jet deal is yet to be signed. With already confirm orders of Rafale from Egypt, Indonesia and Qatar, Indian order will be the last one in the production line.
You be surprised since it's beyond your comprehension ability, anyway as IB said the thread is not about F-16.Funny how Lockheed never thought of complaining or contesting our decision to throw it out. Did you read any report in Air Force Monthly from any anonymous source of them doing so
I didn't call you poor, its your defence strategist, who have brought insult to India after 8 year long process.
We suffered through a mini-crisis in 2012-13. Otherwise this deal would be A-ok.
the proposed F16IN was more advanced than anything you guys had, lost out to others who better fit the criteria fair and square I guess.
Its not about me, its about the readers. As can be judged from the above statement, you do have a source but refuse to show due to a lack of belief in my comprehension abilities, please provide the readers with a source and show that IAF rejected F-16 without any technical consideration and in fact did it simply out of spite (as claimed by you).
ah dude you stole my thunder ^^
oops, but now that we've both pinged him, maybe we'll finally learn about the 'real reason' we don't have the glorious superior to MKI even viper, or maybe it was an ISI agent in Parrikar's office who sabotaged the whole deal.ah dude you stole my thunder ^^
