Obsolete design ? In what sense, either you are ignorant or living in some other world.
Maybe in your world stealth technology is yet to exist. Which planet do you live in? I am from planet earth.
Utter desperation ? Desperation for breaking the Import lobby and walk on the self reliance path.
Self-reliance does not mean utter stupidity. If you are so concerned about swadeshi why don't you stop purchasing samsung, sony, audi, mercedes, nikon, apple, microsoft, facebook, mozilla, nestle, imported medicines and many other imported stuff. Why are you so desperate to compromise national security in the name of swadeshi?
Immediate threat ? Just explain what is the immediate thread from which country which mirrage 2000/2005, mig 29UPG,MKI,mig 21bison, mig 27upg, jaguar upg, mig 29k, Sea harrierUPG could not counter and desperately need 125 new brand fighter plane imediately.
Just shows your level of ignorance.
A country builds up its armed forces because of threat perceptions. India did not raise a million strong army because someone randomly came up with the number. Likewise, the air force needs a minimum number of squadrons to meet its threat perception and the current squadron fleet is less and constantly shrinking.
126 Rafale is any day better than 126 pitiable Tejas.
Explain it with fact.

You fool, Tejas was conceived as a Mig-21 replacement and nothing else.
What is the range of Tejas and what is its payload? Some Indian retard trollbots would even cheer for any damn thing just to boost their fragile ego.
Are you the student of some Madarssa or college. Better chose some decent college
Don't break rules here kid.
