Never mind, but tell me how on earth this happened.....!
Few days back many people were crying for more new fighter aircrafts, including govt.
Now all of sudden many of those, stop worrying about depleting squadron strength.

How much it costs.....!
What is wrong in a single engine, much smaller aircraft, which can go faster for the same job and does it better in much less price.
On top of it, size of Su-30 itself is a big disadvantage.
A Gripen with a meteor...
Sir, Mig-21 is a good aircraft, but still that red color part is hard to believe.
What ever you say, the Russians has almost all type of SAM systems, but still they also needs interceptors.
And in future also, have a look --->...
If I am not wrong, Rafales are for SFC.
And they are not just for the jobs like intercept something or drop few 500/1000 kgs bombs somewhere.
F/A-18 ASH and Gripen are better.
What say.....!
