well I have an argument to put forward......if you can justify.....ok I assume Su-30 will be upgraded to samrt skin and stuff to make them more stealthy....quite understandble.....the what I was able to learn is that IAF would get Su-30s to 280 and here's the link
IAF wants 50 more Sukhois to counter China, Pakistan - India - The Times of India
....but 300 would require a link... which he has not given....if you want to get respect as a poster....credibility does count.....and furthermore, I assume that IAF will get PAK-FA's as stop gap and FGFAs as domestic fighter.....if you can produce FGFA (touted 100% local prodction by many indian posters, which i don't believe given the info available on 25%), which will already be developed and will not require the costs associated will the development of new aircraft....so why not IAF move for a specialized role derivative of FGFA...you dont know i guess how much would 100 MCA cost and 350 FGFA would cost......keeping maintainence costs aside
Su-30 MKI are also in production by HAL which I suppose produce around 20 per year...........as Russia has given permission for that
India ordered 50 more from Russia..........That will be built by russia and bought by India.....and we will have around 280 MKI by 2015.
I hope it clears confusion.
well, About FGFA, its a twin seated variant of PAKFA.......India's contribution is of 25% in it.
India is trying to develop its own industry and for that MCA is must.
FGFA is included in heavy category where as MCA will be of medium range
