Rafale May Not be the Best Choice for the IAF

No, the deal between Su-30/Su-27 has clause that China can't sell it to third party, Design is Russian Intellectual propertyc @LKJ86

What about Mig-21/J-7?

What about Mig-21/J-7?

they give you blue print before sino/soviet split and broke away, thats why they didn't care you copied MIG-21/J-7 illegally and they are developing better jet than Mig-21/Su0 (Mig-23/Su-15) @LKJ86

I've said it before, and I will say it again. The Rafale deal is terrible for India. They spent all that money for a measly 36 aircraft that will only marginally improve their capability. India would have done much better to simply focus the funds on improving the Tejas fighter jet as their final 4th gen fix.

Yep sukhois are easy to track and kill from distsnce. I would prefer india getting 100 more sukhois than 36 rafale.
