I don't understand your need to frame this issue in terms of "beating" China at something. Don't you believe in a high tide that lifts all boats?India doesnt even invest as much as the Chinese in R&D, yet in lot of areas, they are far ahead of the Chinese, that is because Indian technology projects are greatly aided by Foreign technology which has become the basis of creating new Indian technology, we are jumping generations. By 2025-30, India will be producing high class defense technology.
There is a strategic rivalry, fact. There is a need for it. India wouldnt have pumped by their strategic capabilities if not for the unnecessary chinese attitude towards India.India has way too many friends and much access to technology which is a product of decades of works by very advanced countries, these actually give a much needed boost to Indian defense products.I don't understand your need to frame this issue in terms of "beating" China at something.

It's going to cost the same to keep it in the air. Than why the extra need?Buddy,this is medium range,P8i is Long range.
This is addition to P8i.
P8I operational cost & Flying cost is way more than C-130J..It's going to cost the same to keep it in the air. Than why the extra need?
If we buy the same platform at least we ll have some commonality.
