NOTES: The MMRCAs126 strong requirement plus options for 63 make the MMRCA programmes outcome, key for 2010. Weight problems for HALs Light Combat Helicopter for which 179 are required have emerged.

You can take it as info on Indian AF by only reading the Indian AF part. No one is forcing you to take it as comparison.
