Hi @OscarSadly, since this has been posted by a Pakistani - expect lots of Indian fanboys to refute the claim regarding the maintenance nightmare that is the MKI. Despite massive IAF efforts(which are commendable) the MKI continues to display sub-par availability and requires more man hours than the IAF can spare in an intense conflict.
That reality is known here, and then the reality of our systems is known there. Which is why at the end of the day, both forces are extremely cautious about their actual capability in a conflict.

@Zarvan @Windjammer Please do make a note regarding the costs of the 5.754455 Generation Tejas as well. Next time they try to defend their failed project(not the fine airframe and platform which was ruined by Indian mismanagement)
The fanboys can refute all to their hearts content, no doubt the Pakistani factor will be rather disturbing for them but in the end it's the source that will spoil their day.Sadly, since this has been posted by a Pakistani - expect lots of Indian fanboys to refute the claim regarding the maintenance nightmare that is the MKI.

There is no rush to make a decision, since Gripen E will not be available to India during the next two years anyway.
If India wanted another plane, they could make a decision now.
4 years from induction they would have a strike capable force. Earlier perhaps considering the Indians are adept at getting platforms integrated fast.Question regarding Rafales, if the first batch lands in Sep 2019, then how long do you think it would take them to be fully operational for active duty and become a challenge for PAF with pilot/ground staff training/facilities in place, techniques and doctrines developed/practised and documented?
Su-57 have minimal stealth shaping and material, russian is in difficult position to mass produce Su-57, India wanted more Stealth oriented jet as well as Indian want all of source code for Su-57's radar+avionics etc etc to upgrade Su-57 at home and russian always denying this that why india leaving this joint project and pursuing its indigenous project called AMCA @undertakerwwefanIMO India should have stuck with Su-57. It's their only 5th gen choice in the foreseeable future. Russia stuck by India for decades and boom comes Modi and broke relation with Russia overnight. That's bad hindsight.
