Why MKI? MKI is not Indian, so for what IAF will fly MKIs at air shows which are meant for showing technological prowess and earning orders not for showing military power gained from imported stuff? Anyway IAF flies MKIs at aero-India but for what is something beyond my understanding. May be, we want world see how much technological contribution India has made into MKI project as well as how capable HAL is when it comes to assembling jets as complex as MKIs. But i think HAL has risen beyond the level where someone take pride in its ability to assemble aircrafts as complex as MKI. HAL today is a well known designer and developer in addition to world class manufacturer and it will be nice if HAL strictly display its own product like ALH, ALH-WSI, LCH, UAV Lakshya, MTA, IJT and its contributed sub-system in a foreign project instead of displaying the whole product. Anyway that's all my opinion.

I'm not questioning the credibility of HAL, nor do I seek to undermine the value of our indigenous development.
This air-show is as much about the air force itself as it is about commercial value.

MKIs are the tip of our sword.

Sukhoi Superjet 100 is a civilian regional jetliner developed to compete with Embraer E-Jets and Bombardier CRJs. Much like other civilian airliner this SS 100 can also be used as AWACS, MPA, EW and SAR but presently no plans or order exists from military for purpose.
